GROUP – C:

M.Phil. (Psychiatric Social Work)

1. CENTRAL INSTITUTE OF PSYCHIATRY – The biggest Mental Health Institution in India
In 1918 this Institute was established by the British for the British and other European patients.
Right from its inception it has been a centre of excellence and a model institution. CIP has been
a pioneer in Indian Psychiatry. It has an incredible first in almost every field of mental health in
this country. In the year 1922 when postgraduate education in medical field was almost unheard
of, this centre was recognized for the degree of DPM under London University. To maintain a
meticulous and detailed case record of every patient right from beginning had been its tradition.
Now a days, Occupational Therapy is thought to be an essential component of any hospital, in
CIP it was started in 1923. The Occupational Therapy Department was the first of its kind not
only in India but in entire south-east Asia. The first departments of Electroencephalography and
Clinical Psychology were established here in 1948. Not many people know that Neurosurgery
practically started here in 1947. A full-fledged Neuropathology section was established in 1952
and a Neuroradiology department in 1955. The list is long and impressive.
INPATIENT CARE: Very sophisticated facilities for various kinds of investigations are available.
Latest medicines, good food, plenty of regular exercise, yoga, religious discourses, music,
entertainment, a library each for male & female patients and a canteen are there. A unique
feature of the hospital is its open space and patients are free to roam around any where within
the boundary wall. Unlike other mental hospitals which were custodial with closed wards, this
hospital has always been an open hospital.
REHABILITATION : Rehabilitation is a major concern in a psychiatric facility. CIP has gone
beyond the conventional trades available in such facilities. It has renovated its press with
modern equipments and various new machines have been added for reprography, book binding,
file making, stationery etc.
INFRASTRUCTURE: The Institute is networked with fibre-optic cables, there are custom-made
software for various needs and there exists a 128 kbps leased line and 2MBPS broad band for
internet connectivity. All departments, wards and labs are connected through a network. The
Institute maintains Men’s and Women’s hostels for a limited number of its post graduate
students.
LABORATORIES: Various kinds of labs doing a wide range of sensitive and sophisticated tests
are available. There is a 192 channels EEG system to study the intricacies of brain mechanisms,
a 128 channels cognitive evoked potential unit, an EEG video monitoring system, a repetitive
Trans-cranial Magnetic Stimulator, Cranial Dopplers systems, Colour Doppler, 16 slices spiral CT
Scanner and a sophisticated neuropsychology laboratory. The Pathology & Biochemistry
departments have latest equipments for various haematological, biochemical, immunological,
and microbiological tests. Every year >100,000 tests are conducted in this department.
TRAINING PROGRAM: Affiliated to Ranchi University, Ranchi, the training programmes are
of high quality. Almost all the seats remain full. Professionals trained here are in demand in
foreign lands and they make a name for themselves wherever they go. We strive to train not
only competent professional but future leaders in their respective fields. Following are the details
of courses offered by this Institute:-

RESEARCH: Research in mental health is an important task. CIP publishes 40-50 research
papers a year in various national and international journals. Till recently, it has been publishing
Eastern Journal of Psychiatry, the official journal of Indian Psychiatric Society, Eastern zone and
presently Indian Journal of Social Psychiatry is being published from here. We have also to our
credit a reference text, “Current Development in schizophrenia” published in the year 2004 by
Allied Publishers, New Delhi. Various research projects funded by WHO, CCRH & Government of
India are being run by the Institute.
AWARENESS PROGRAMME: In recent days a major pre-occupation of CIP has been to spread
awareness regarding mental health, reduction of stigma and discrimination against mentally ill,
to further the human rights and opportunities to mentally ill, networking with NGOs,
strengthening community outreach programmes, improving patient care, innovative
rehabilitation programmes, improving the infrastructure of the Institute, establishing various
kinds of labs and acquiring technologies, organizing research programmes, and adding
excellence to its training programmes.
Awareness regarding mental illness in the community is awfully inadequate. In the year 2003 a
radio programme, “Ujale ki Ore” was started. It comprised a series of 26 episodes in Hindi, each
episode focused on various common psychiatric problems. The experience is rewarding and there
is a need to have similar programmes in local tribal languages. For this reason an awareness
programme in Nagpuri was conducted by All India Radio. We also have a toll-free Telephone
Helpline (1800-345-1849) and e-mail facility for people to reach us. Besides we conduct
awareness programmes in schools, colleges, clubs, and we have a regular School Mental Health
programme. We outreach in the community and organize Rural Camps to identify and treat cases
of mental illness, epilepsy and disability.
