Dr. C. Ramasubramanian
Founder
“Together, we can make Mental Health accessible and affordable to everyone.”
Dr.C.Ramasubramanian., M.D., D.P.M., Ph.D.
Dr. C.Ramasubramanian (Dr. CRS), a distinguished luminary in the field of mental health with a rich legacy of over 40 years. Hailing as a trailblazer from Madurai District, his journey has been punctuated by remarkable achievements. Notably, he etched his name in history by securing the pioneering Ph.D. in Community Psychiatry from Madurai Kamaraj University in 2012, building upon earlier laurels from Madurai Medical College. Driven by an unwavering dedication to community psychiatry and psycho-social rehabilitation, his ardor originates from personal encounters with mental health stigma, ignited while caring for his own brother. This ignited his vision for comprehensive mental health rehabilitation services in India.
