The Rehabilitation Council of India has introduced a new four-year B.Sc. in Clinical Psychology to address the severe shortage of mental health professionals. The program integrates clinical training from the first year to bridge the gap between theory and practice.

This initiative aims to mitigate a national mental health crisis by significantly increasing the number of trained clinical psychologists.
Something is quietly breaking across India. You can feel it in school hallways where teenagers are struggling in ways their teachers don’t know how to name. In homes where someone hasn’t been “quite right” for years, but no one has said it out loud. In offices where burnout is treated like a badge of honour, and in hospital wards where the mind’s suffering is an afterthought to the body’s.
