CENTRE FOR MINDFULNESS-BASED RESEARCH AND PRACTICES
The Centre for Mindfulness-based Research and Practices (CMRP) was established in 2018 to provide a conducive environment for conducting research on contemplative practices.
Mindfulness practice is a form of mental training to cultivate present-moment awareness, which develops a person’s innate ability to organize thoughts and emotions as they arise.
Objectives of the research centre
- To design and conduct clinical studies on contemplative practices.
- To provide opportunities and facilities to practice mindfulness.
- To propagate mindfulness as a secular practice and contribute to National Mental Health Strategy and
- To provide learning opportunities on authentic mindfulness practices for the international community.
