Our Vision

Provide quality care & treatment for the people suffering from various Neuro-Psychological illnesses.

When I chose Psychiatry over IAS, I had a sense of responsibility & enthusiasm that I want to do something for the vast population suffering from Psychological Problems. The quality of life of the patients as well as their family members is severely affected. After working for initial few years, I found that rehabilitation is a complete care solution for such patients.

Therefore, we launched Jagruti Rehabilitation Centre with the help of my colleagues & my family members. My main focus was to provide lots of therapeutic work for Psychiatric & De-addiction care. Geriatric care especially for Dementia patients was a challenge as they require lots of physical care. With devoted staff I could show some good results in all these three fields.
