Abstract
This viewpoint critically examines the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020's decision to discontinue M.Phil. programs in Clinical Psychology and Psychiatric Social Work in India. It explores the crucial roles these programs play in addressing the country's shortage of mental health professionals and evaluates the potential impact of this decision on mental healthcare. The article advocates for the necessity of these programs in maintaining the quality and accessibility of mental health services and calls for a reconsidered policy approach that balances educational reforms with the specialized needs of the mental health sector.
