“To Study the abnormal is the best way of understanding the normal”                  
James William                                                                                                      
In this era of unrest, competition, frustration, natural calamities etc,
Psychiatry, with its emphasis on humane & Compassionate approach, has gained importance as a branch   of   medicine.  

Mission / Vision

1. Our hopes and Vision   rest   upon,   scientific advances   and  research which have added greatly  to our  understanding of  human  behavior  and ability to modify  it .
2. The department attempts to   proceed   with  a  rigorous   approach appropriate to the  sophistication   of   today’s students & higher academic standards set  in our College.
3. Our aim   is  to  provide basic knowledge of psychiatry for undergraduate medical students , by clinical training in interview,  diagnosis und  management of common psychiatric disorders .
4. We also motivate our students towards  self – awareness and  awareness  of social responsibilities so that they become  better doctors .
5.  Ultimately  our  mission  is  to teach our students to strike a balance between “COMPASSIONATE CONCERN AND DISPASSIONATE OBJECTIVITY”

                       Whichever   field of medicine   they take as specialty.
