Our Story: More Than Five Decades of Mental Healthcare
Deva Institute of Healthcare & Research began its journey in 1972 under the vision and leadership of Late Dr. Megh Raj Jhanwar, Founder & Director.
Over the decades, the institute has developed from a psychiatric care institution into a broader mental healthcare and rehabilitation centre serving individuals and families with diverse mental health needs.
Today, Deva Institute provides a range of psychiatric, psychological, rehabilitation, diagnostic and allied healthcare services for people across different stages of life.
Our approach has evolved with advances in mental healthcare while retaining a simple principle: every person seeking help deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion and respect.
From psychiatric consultation and inpatient care to psychological services, rehabilitation, child and adolescent mental healthcare and advanced treatment options, our goal is to provide coordinated care based on individual needs.
Located in Varanasi, Deva Institute serves patients from the city, surrounding districts and neighbouring states.

Our Approach to Mental Healthcare
Evidence-Based Care: We aim to use clinically appropriate, evidence-informed approaches based on individual assessment and treatment needs.
Patient-Centred Care: Every patient has a different history, environment and set of concerns. Treatment is therefore tailored to individual needs wherever appropriate.
Compassion & Dignity: We believe people seeking mental healthcare deserve to be heard without judgement and treated with dignity and respect.
Family & Caregiver Support: Families and caregivers can play an important role in understanding mental health conditions and supporting recovery.
Continuity of Care: Mental healthcare does not always end with the first consultation. Follow-up, rehabilitation and ongoing support may be important parts of recovery.
