in DPN was lack of incentive for nurses to join DPN due to marginal difference in pay and allowances between nurses with DPN qualification and nurses without DPN. The continuation of a large number of vacant posts of Assistant Professors for a long time had an adverse effect on the teaching programmes of RINPAS. To make good this shortfall in manpower, RlNPAS was banking heavily on the faculties of Central Institute of Psychiatry (CIP) and Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS); hiring the services of retired Professors on payment of honorarium @ Rs. 200/- per day; the professional services of the Principal of a Nursing College at Kolkata for teaching and training in Psychiatric Nursing. There had been a significant spurt in training activities in RINPAS. The number of nursing students coming to RINPAS for B.Sc, M.SC, GNM and NGO had progressively gone up during the last few years. The total number of persons trained in the Department of Psychiatric nursing had gone up from 78 in 2007 to 409 in 2010. The number of persons provided training in different courses in 2010 were M.Sc. Nursing 4, B.Sc. Nursing 121, GNN 279; NGO 5. Similarly the Department of Clinical Psychology of RINPAS provided training to 25 students of PG Diploma in Clinical Psychology from the Institute of Psychological Research and Services, Patna from 19th January 2010 to 28th January 2010; 8 students of M.Phil in Clinical Psychology from Psychology Deptt., Kolkata University from 16th November to 15th December 2010; 5 students of PG Diploma in Clinical Psychology from SH Institute of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Allahabad (a deemed University) for one month; 4 students of PG Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy from BHU, Varanasi for 4 months. Medical students from RIMS, Ranchi and Pataliputra Medical College, Dhanbad had been receiving basic orientation in RINPAS. There was, however, no provision of in-house training and refresher training for the staff of RINPAS. The staff nurses were not provided any psychiatric training. Department of Psychiatry produced 34 papers and attended 22 conferences; Department of Clinical Psychology brought out 70 papers and attended 5 conferences; Department of Psychiatric Social Work produced 28 papers and attended 6 conferences in 2009-2010. The Professor and Head of the Department of Psychiatry had published 3 books/papers, contributed 2 chapters in publications brought out by others, attended 7 professional conferences and was holding 4 key posts in Professional Associations. Equally impressive had been the performance of his other colleagues in the Department of Psychiatry.
