It is a privilege and an honour to lead a premier institute like Kateel Ashok Pai Memorial Institute of Allied Health Sciences (KAPMIAHS) as Principal. It is a unit of Manasa Trust started in fond memory of the visionary Late Dr. K A Ashok Pai, an internationally renowned community psychiatrist, writer, film maker, philanthropist and a pioneer in the field of mental health. His keen insights and innovative practices in mental health care have paved way in bringing solace to so many human lives. His legacy continues in this institution to provide quality education and mental health care to many.
Kateel Ashok Pai Institute of Allied Health Sciences (KAPMIAHS) is affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), Bengaluru. This institute aims to provide higher education in mental health and allied health sciences. The institute is not only a hub of good academics but has also set a benchmark in the field of education and mental health care. Here, theoretical knowledge goes hand in hand with application of knowledge in all mental health scenarios. Our aim is to prepare students to meet the challenges of tomorrow with creativity, spirit, intelligence, competence and responsibility. Our education fosters values of service and justice, thereby leading to a more equal and humane society. We strive to mould our students into confident practitioners who, in their pursuit of excellence will also uphold moral values and be willing to work towards enriching the lives of others.
