About GIMRC:
Historically a small class of 4-5 mentally re****ed 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 re****ed 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.

As the demand kept on increasing, it was planned to provide a building suited to the needs and requirements of the training programme and in the year 1979, the Chief Commissioner, Chandigarh Administration laid the foundation stone of the building which could accommodate 150 children including 50 seats for residential purpose. In the month of May, 1981 the building was completed and handed over to the department. Upto 1988, 575 children have been admitted and trained by this institute. The institute was transferred to Govt. Medical College & Hospital, Chandigarh in December 1998 under the direct control of psychiatry department. At present there are 225 students on the roll of the institute and 25 students are living in the hostel.

The need and importance of special education to mentally re****ed children has long been felt by all educational authorities and public.
