From Foundations to Frontiers — Psychiatry in the Current Era
Welcome Message · CPS President
A word from
the President.
Dr. Saurabh Tandon — President of the Central Psychiatric Society — on community, contribution, and what brings us together at CIPCON.
Dear Seniors and colleagues,
We each as mental health professionals bring something unique to our service of mankind. When our skills, passions and experiences come together, something extraordinary happens. Our conferences don't just give us opportunity to meet and knowledge sharing — they help bring out the very best in us. They're places where we can grow, connect and truly make a difference. In the Annual Conference of Central Psychiatric Society again, you'll see that spirit come to life in the stories we share.
Being a Mental Health Professional, is about belonging. It's about finding a community where your contribution in the life of people matters, and where every contribution — big or small — makes an impact. Through our efforts, we're inviting more colleagues and young professionals to discover what it means to be part of something bigger. Every new Mental Health Professional is a light that beckons to those in need and a welcomed member of our family. Each one brings new friendships, fresh perspectives and even more reasons to keep serving.
We are always desirous of blessings and guidance of our seniors, who have taught us to work and serve the unhealthy minds of the society.
This year's CIPCON in Raipur is a prime opportunity to peer exchange and sharpening our skills.
This grand event will take place on September 25 to 27, 2026 at Raipur.
Now is the perfect time to start planning to make this event a grand celebration. Thank you for being part of this remarkable mission. Keep bringing your best. Keep lifting others. And keep shining.
Thanking you,
Saurabh Tandon
President · Central Psychiatric Society

Dear Esteemed Colleagues, and Friends,
It is with great honor and enthusiasm that we welcome you to CIPCON 2026 — the 47th Annual Conference of the Central Psychiatric Society (Indian Psychiatric Society — CZ), scheduled from 25th to 27th September 2026 in the city of Raipur.
Organized by the Chhattisgarh Psychiatric Society, CIPCON 2026 — the flagship academic event of the Central Zone of the Indian Psychiatric Society — stands as a significant event dedicated to advancing the science and practice of Psychiatry in the zone.
Shifting the focus back to the core issues, the theme of this year's conference, "From Foundations to Frontiers: Psychiatry in the Current Era," reflects our commitment to bridging classical principles with emerging innovations. As psychiatry evolves in response to changing societal needs, technological advancements, and expanding neuroscientific insights, this conference aims to create a dynamic platform for reflection, dialogue, and future direction-setting.
A comprehensive scientific program featuring leading experts, academicians, clinicians, and researchers from across the country awaits to engage in meaningful dialogue and explore evolving paradigms in mental health care.
Set in the welcoming ambience of Hotel Omaya Garden, the conference venue offers the perfect blend of comfort and elegance, ensuring a stimulating and enjoyable experience for all participants.
