NIMHANS-Annual-Report-2017-18 NIMHANS Institute of National Importance An enduring vision, an indomitable spirit and an industrious multi-disciplinary team, these possibly best exemplify the character of the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences or NIMHANS. Spread over an area of nearly 135 acres, NIMHANS is a unique institution that combines mental health and neurosciences under one roof. Such a unique approach has made NIMHANS a premier institute not just in the country but also in the world and its three pillars include service delivery, training and research. Although intended to be a tertiary care referral centre for mental, neurological and neurosurgical disorders, the reputation of its quality care attracts people from all parts of India and from the region. There is always a balanced focus on both curative as well as promotive aspects of mental and neurological health. The therapeutic modalities blend the modern systems of medicine with traditional systems of care and management making it an undisputed leader in the area of mental health and neurosciences. The Institute houses Human Brain Tissue Repository (Brain Bank), the one and only in the country and Neuropathology Brain Museum, the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. NIMHANS is the leading post-graduate training centre in the country particularly in mental health and neuro- sciences. Occupying a pre-eminent position, it currently runs 53 courses (with many more in the pipeline) and the register includes superspecialty MCh and DM courses, post-doc fellowships, doctoral studies, MPhil, Master’s degree, diplomas and recently undergraduate courses in select disciplines. In addition to the courses run by NIMHANS, thousands of trainees from all over the country come to NIMHANS each year for specialized training in basic sciences as well as in the clinical disciplines. NIMHANS, over the decades, has emerged as a leader in research in both behavioural sciences and neurosciences. At NIMHANS research occurs in a seamless manner from the bench to the bedside and from the bedside to the community. The institute has made signal contributions in a multitude of areas: from addiction to Alzheimer’s; from mental hospital history to the historical contributions of its forbears; from imaging to intensive care; from brain injury to interventional neuroradiology; from disaster relief to deep brain stimulation; from stroke research to signalling in the brain; from rabies to retroviral infections; from youth mental health to yoga research; from molecular genetics to mindfulness research; from restoration to rehabilitation ... the contributions are vast and varied. NIMHANS plays a pivotal role in national policy and programming and as a premier institution dedicated for brain, mind and behaviour, historically has always been in the forefront of setting the agenda for mental health in India. The flagship District Mental Health Program of the Government of India emerged out of the Bellary model of care for mentally ill in a primary care set up within the decentralised District health care system. NIMHANS continues to provide the larger impetus to strategise, improvise and bring in innovation in both institutional and community based mental health care services across the country. It has contributed to the National Mental Health Policy and also promotes / supports rights-based mental health care. It actively collaborates and networks with several governmental, quasi governmental and non-governmental agencies / bodies. From the lunatic asylum in the nineteenth century to the Mysore Government Mental Hospital in 1934, the All India Institute of Mental Health in 1954 and NIMHANS in 1974 to acquiring the status of a Deemed University in 1994 and being bestowed the status of Institute of National Importance through a separate act of Parliament in 2013, NIMHANS has grown in stature and made tremendous strides over the decades.

More than a century later, we continue to build and expand on this vision. Today, The Royal Conservatory is recognized in communities across North America for outstanding service to students, teachers, and parents, as well as strict adherence to high academic standards through a variety of activities—teaching, examining, publishing, research, and community outreach. Our students and teachers benefit from a curriculum based on more than 125 years of commitment to the highest pedagogical objectives. The strength of the curriculum is reinforced by the distinguished College of Examiners—a group of fine musicians and teachers who have been carefully selected from across Canada, the United States, and abroad for their demonstrated skill and professionalism. A rigorous examiner apprenticeship program, combined with regular evaluation procedures, ensures consistency and an examination experience of the highest quality for candidates. As you pursue your studies or teach others, you become not only an important partner with The Royal Conservatory in the development of creativity, discipline, and goal- setting, but also an active participant, experiencing the transcendent qualities of music itself. In a society where our day-to-day lives can become rote and routine, the human need to find self-fulfillment and to engage in creative activity has never been more necessary. The Royal Conservatory will continue to be an active partner and supporter in your musical journey of self-expression and self-discovery.

  • Marma in Yoga and Other Ancient Indian Traditions 1
    Exploring the Science of Marma - An Ancient Healing Technique - Part 3: Marma in Yoga and Other Ancient Indian Traditions Alka Mishra*, Vandana Shrivastava Department of Ayurveda and Holistic Health, Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya, Gayatrikunj-Shantikunj, Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India *Corresponding Author: Alka Mishra - Email: [email protected] License information for readers: This paper is published online under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) License, whose full terms may be seen at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Uploaded online: 27 June 2020 Abstract Marma Science is an extremely important branch of Ayurveda. Marma points are important vital places in the body, that are the ‘seats of life’ (Prana - the vital life force). As any injury to these parts may lead to severe pain, disability, loss of function, loss of sensation, or death, therefore, they hold an important place in the science of surgery, wherein they are considered ‘Shalya Vishayardha’ (half of the entire science of surgery). The ancient scriptures have strictly directed against causing any injury to these vital spots. However, recent researches have attempted the stimulation of Marma points for theraputic benefits, with encouraging outcomes. In view of these mutually conflicting, importance applications of Marma Science, the present study was undertaken for its in-depth study. Part-1 of this study presented the information about different aspects of Marma Science in various ancient / classical Indian scriptures. Part-2 gave a detailed description of the number of marmas, their location, structures involved, classification, effect of trauma, etc., as per classical texts, as well as correlation with modern science.
