The National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) in Bengaluru will
be expanding its facilities and build a new campus to cater to individuals living in North
Bengaluru.
As per a press release from the institute, this new building will make the hospital facilities
more accessible to people living in northern parts of the city.

“Every year, nearly six lakh patients make use of these services. To make services more
accessible, in the northern part of Bengaluru, NIMHANS is setting up out-patient and
counselling services for trauma and mental health. This is a forerunner of a larger hospital
complex that it has been planning,” said the release.

A proposal for the reconstruction of old buildings housing male and female inmates was
submitted before the state government a year ago and the work will be carried out as per
revised rates for the fiscal 2021-2022, the government resolution (GR) stated.

Four buildings will be constructed on an area spanning 30,509 square kilometre. Three
standalone buildings will house around 1,000 inmates and about 740 female inmates will be
housed in two other buildings slated to be constructed as per the new development plan. The
state government has also put some restrictions in terms of building completion and safety
that need to be followed.

Yerawada regional mental hospital superintendent Dr Lata Pandhare said, “The old buildings
in the campus belong to the British era and have grown old and dilapidated. The drainage
lines have grown old and are leaking and need repairs. The power lines are also an issue
before the administration. The reconstruction and modernisation of the hospital will ensure
better upkeep and care of the hospital inmates.”
