"The logo symbolises the healing touch of human hands and the rising sun of new, hopeful beginnings"
Our students have the opportunity for closer interaction with their faculty and mentors through tutorials, field work conferences and practical sessions. This enables faculty to identify the problems faced by students. The faculty guide the student by herself or himself or refer the student to a counsellor.
Counselling helps individuals to understand one self realistically. It enables a student to understand his/her problem and overcome it through his/her effort with the help of a counsellor or an expert, who might also dialogue with the significant persons in the life of the student. Counselling also helps in total development of the student, facilitates the growth of his/her inner potentials and promotes a healthy connectedness with others in the institution. It is a valuable opportunity open to students wherein they learn to cope with the challenges of life as a whole, especially during times of turmoil and confusion so that they may grow in a healthy environment that ensures positive mental well-being.
To the Department of Psychology and its students, the inauguration of the Sparsh Counselling Centre was a milestone and a moment to cherish. This was a move towards putting to practice the theoretical knowledge. The students felt connected with the whole process of education through this venture. The inaugural was held on 28th June 2011 at 3.40 p.m. The logo of the Sparsh Counselling Centre symbolises the healing touch of human hands and the rising sun of new, hopeful beginnings.
