The first asylum in India is founded by British Government in 1745 in [[Bombay]] and second in 1784 in [[Calcutta]]. Few more asylums are also founded by British Government in 1857 in big cities of India. In 1859, Agra asylum was also founded by British Government. The Institute of Mental Health and Hospital Agra was established in September 1859, and renamed to Mental Hospital Agra in 1925.
