About Us
Going back to our memory lane, it was in 1956, when our glorious department of psychiatry began as a psychiatry unit in government medical college Amritsar. It was headed by Late Dr Vidya sagar, who held the positions of professor and head of department and Medical Superintendent of government Mental Hospital, Amritsar.
In year 1967, our department achieved another milestone when, under the guidance of Dr. Gurmeet Singh, Post Graduate Training (MD) was started. Dr. Rajinder Arora was the first to get post-graduate degree from this department. MD Psychiatry is recognized by MCI and is included in the first schedule of the MCI Act, 1956.
