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 NIMHANSbecame an autonomous and independent university.
