Brief History of NIMHANS
The Government of India established the All India Institute of Mental Health in 1954 in
association with the then existing Mental Hospital of the Government of Karnataka. Major objective
of the Institute was to generate manpower in the field of mental health and neurosciences. The
Government of India chose the Mental Hospital, Bangalore, as the centre for training, which had
built up certain traditions since 1936 in matters related to undergraduate training in the field of
Psychiatry. The Institute was then affiliated to the University of Mysore for all courses.
Subsequently, the Institute became affiliated to the Bangalore University in 1964. The Bangalore
University established a separate faculty of Mental Health and Neurosciences.
The All India Institute of Mental Health and the Mental Hospital of the Government of
Karnataka were amalgamated into an autonomous institute and thus the National Institute of
Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS) came into existence in 1974.
NIMHANS was conferred ‘Deemed to be University’ status by UGC in 1994 and NIMHANS
became an autonomous and independent university.
NIMHANS was declared as an Institute of National Importance by an Act of Parliament vide

Government of India Gazette Notification dated 14.9.2012. Notwithstanding anything contained in
the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956, the Rehabilitation Council of India Act, 1992, the Indian
Nursing Council Act, 1947, and the University Grants Commission Act, 1956, the medical degrees,
diplomas, nursing degrees and certificates granted by the Institute under this Act shall be
recognized medical qualifications for the purposes of the Acts aforesaid and shall be deemed to be
included in the Schedule to the respective Acts.
Spread across 135 verdant acres in the heart of the garden city, NIMHANS offers the latest
medical advances in an environment that promotes mental health and enhances a sense of
wellness. The state-of-the-art facilities bolstered by highly skilled professionals – who are dedicated
to providing patients with compassionate and comprehensive care – make NIMHANS a centre of
excellence and specialized expertise.
The unique feature of this Institute is its multidisciplinary approach to patient care, training
as well as research in the areas of mental health and neurosciences. The manpower development
programs at NIMHANS reflect the extent to which the institute has succeeded in fusing and
nurturing behavioural, neuro, biological and ancient health sciences/systems under one roof.

Kannada is one of the oldest Dravidian languages. It is the Karnataka state’s official language.

communication with patients and their family members.
The Kannada Cell and Department of Publication organize a three-month Kannada Language
Learning Program in collaboration with the Department of Kannada & Culture, Government of
Karnataka. Students are required to attend these sessions. As majority of the patients seen at
NIMHANS speak Kannada, it is mandatory that students learn to comprehend and speak Kannada.

Orientation Lectures are organized for all the newly admitted students by the Heads of the
Departments in order to familiarize the students with the vast diversification of facilities under
Basic, Behavioral and Neurosciences Divisions at NIMHANS.

are proud to state that our campus is ragging free and students are informed to abide by the rules
and ensure a ragging free campus. As per the guidelines of UGC under section 26 (1)(g) of the
University Grants Commission Act, 1956, which is modified as UGC Regulations,2009 on curbing the
menace of ragging in Higher Educational Institutions, an Anti-Ragging Committee exists in NIMHANS.
