About VIMHANS

In August 1981, due to a joint effort by the immediate family and well-wishers of Dr. Vidya Sagar, the father of Indian psychiatry, a society bearing the names of Dr. Vidya Sagar and Smt. Kaushalya Devi was established. It started when Dr. Vidya Sagar had left 40,000 rupees in his will just for this cause. And with only 20 beds, VIMHANS began offering its psychiatric and drug addiction services. It was not until 1987 when Shri Giani Zail Singh, the Indian President at that time, placed the hospital's cornerstone.

Since then, the road has been long and complicated, but it has also been rewarded with numerous successes. It has expanded from its primary focus on mental health into a multispecialty institute with five central departments. With more than a hundred beds and a functioning daycare rehabilitation center, VIMHANS is still a family-run institution. To provide accessible yet high-quality medical consultations, the organization also sponsors community outreach centers in Haryana and Delhi.

VIMHANS is the only non-government organization that operates an in-patient facility for people with mental illness. Additionally, VIMHANS holds free medical camps in a variety of specialties in various slums and communities in the National Capital Region.
