33rd National Conference of Indian Association for Social Psychiatry

Welcome to the 33rd National Conference

Hosted by the Department of Psychiatry, King George Medical University, Lucknow, from 29th–31st January 2027.

It gives us immense pleasure to welcome you to the 33rd National Conference of the Indian Association for Social Psychiatry (NCIASP2026), being hosted by the Department of Psychiatry, King George's Medical University, Lucknow, from 29th - 31st January, 2027.

The theme of this year's conference, "Social Psychiatry in an Increasingly Conflicted and Intolerant World," is both timely and profoundly relevant. Across the globe, societies are witnessing growing polarization, violence, displacement, social inequities, digital transformations, and unprecedented psychosocial challenges. These developments compel us to revisit the foundational principles of social psychiatry and reaffirm our commitment to understanding mental health within its broader social, cultural, economic, and political contexts.
