History

In 1973 Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma, the last Maharajah of Travancore, gifted a multi-storied building to the Government of Kerala. In 1976 P. N. Haksar, the deputy chairman of the Planning Commission, inaugurated the Sree Chitra Tirunal Medical Center. This was followed by a Biomedical Technology wing, established at the Satelmond Palace, Poojapura,[1] nearly 11 km (6.8 mi) away, a grab from Sethu Lakshmi Bayi, the aunt of Balarama Varma.[2] The institute was declared an Institute of National Importance by an Act of Parliament in 1980, and renamed to its current name.[3] The third wing of the institute, Achutha Menon Center for Health Science Studies (AMCHSS), was established in 2000.[4] The institute is currently headed by Dr Sanjay Behari, prominent neurosurgeon. Former directors of the institute were M. S. Valiathan (1979-1994), K. Mohandas (1994-2009) and K. Radhakrishnan (2009-2013), Dr Asha Kishore (2015-2020).[5] . The official emblem of the institute honours the symbol of the royal family of Travancore, the Shankh of Sree Padmanabhaswamy.
