About Regional Institute for the Mentally Handicapped (RIMH) Historically a small class of 4-5 mentally retarded children was started in 1964 in the Government College of Education, Chandigarh by Sh. J. S. Gandhi, Lecturer in Psychology in the college. Within a short period, the number of students increased & a separate building was hired for these children. It was established with the aim of providing educational and vocational training to mentally retarded children with the recognition of the fact that with the proper training and facilities to such children, they can be rehabilitated and made to adjust themselves to the demands of society. Now the institute is under the direct control and supervision of Deptt. of Psychiatry, Govt. Medical College & Hospital, Sector 32, Chandigarh, India In the year 1973, the control of this institute was transferred from Govt. College of Education to District Education Officer, Chandigarh Administration. In the year 1978, Govt. of India sanctioned D.D.O's powers to Office-in-charge and the control of the institute was transferred to Director State Institute of Education, Chandigarh. The building hired for the purpose could accommodate about 40 children. This was the only Govt. Institute in Punjab, Haryana & Chandigarh. Many parents were keen to get their child admitted. The residential facility for 12 seats was provided to the children whose parents resided in other cities or states.
