About IHBAS

The history of the Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences has a lot to tell. In 1966, it was Delhi's only mental hospital, built on the city's outskirts in Shahdara. Back then, it was known as HMD and had hints of a custodial setting. The patients were kept under supervision. They were housed in closed cells with high walls.

However, in compliance with the court directive issued in 1983, which ordered the remodeling of the hospital into a center for training, treatment, and research, 1993 witnessed a change. With its inception in 1993 under the name of IHBAS, the progress made by the institution stands unparalleled.

IHBAS has been achieving new heights through the efforts of director and professor of psychiatry Dr. Rajinder K. Dhamija. The collaborative efforts of the faculty in the fields of neurology, neurosurgery, clinical psychology, microbiology, pathology, etc., have been unprecedented. Exceptional assistant professors, like Dr. Amit Khanna and Dr. Naveen Grover, have fulfilled the institute's aim of providing comprehensive training and research activities of current interest to its students.

Constantly growing and evolving, IHBAS now has five branches spread across the state of Delhi. These are jointly funded by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, and the Government of NCT of Delhi. It has also been identified as a nodal agency for implementing the District Mental Health Programme for the capital. Also, it provides Mobile Mental Health Services for the homeless.
