Kanke is a place in Ranchi, Jharkhand, India; and is the location of one of the largest mental asylums in the country. Kanke and Agra have the two large facilities in India for treating mentally-ill patients. Kanke also has a large water reservoir called Kanke Dam, which is used to supply water to Ranchi City. The Kanke Mental Asylum was started by the British who thought that the cooler climate of Ranchi would be salubrious to mental health.
