We are proud to announce a groundbreaking collaboration between Axis Bank and Antara Psychiatric Hospital & Rehabilitation Centre, with the signing of an MoU to establish the Axis Bank Antara Institute of Health Sciences in Kolkata.

 

This will be one of Eastern India’s first dedicated educational institutions for mental health, offering accredited programs in psychiatry, psychology, nursing, social work, and counselling.

 

In May 2025, Antara became the first hospital in West Bengal to receive DNB accreditation in Psychiatry. This new institute builds on that achievement aiming to train over 200 students annually by 2028, nurturing a new generation of mental health professionals.

 

This partnership represents a shared vision of inclusive, equitable mental health care for India. We are deeply grateful to Axis Bank for their support in transforming mental health education and advocacy.

 

Together, we move one step closer to building a more compassionate and resilient nation.
