Purpose of the Committee

Student counseling cell functions to address the cognitive and psychomotor challenges and assists the students in stress management during distress. Coaching classes are conducted for the students to appear for the competitive examinations like civil services,
banking etc. Remedial classes are conducted to help the students to improve their performance in the exam and to resolve the challenges in the class room. Classes are conducted in spoken English to improve the proficiency of the students in English and related soft skills.

Counselling is an integral part of the total educational enterprise. The Mission of the Counselling Cell at our college is to facilitate wise choices and decisions and to promote adjustment and mental health. The psychological purpose of counseling is to facilitate
development. The more a person becomes aware of the structures she has built up through previous development – abilities and talents, social assets and liabilities, emotional strengths and weaknesses. Wishes, values and aspirations – the more she is
able to influence her own subsequent development by the choices she makes. The main purposes of counselling are to promote this kind of awareness, to facilitate this kind of choice.

The purpose of Student Counselling is to provide personal, crisis, and developmental mental health counselling, educational programming and maintain a confidential service for students. Student Counselling’s mission is to focus on the emotional, intellectual,
spiritual, physical, occupational and social development of students. The services are preventative and educational in nature and come from a developmental perspective.Individual staff also support the mission of the committee.

Objectives of the Committee

 To identify the problem areas or difficulties of individuals, their potentialities and limitations
 To help students develop their potentialities through a greater self-understanding to enable them to take full advantage of the environmental resources
 To help mitigate suffering, reach appropriate solutions, take responsible decisions,and enable students to become self-actualized individuals.

This helps students to work constructively toward life/career planning and help them to anticipate, plan, and react constructively to developmental issues and transitions through integrate thinking, feeling, and behavior into a congruent expression of the self. Students will be able to respond productively to stress and reduce its negative impact on their lives and they can develop effective interpersonal skills so that relationships with peers, family and others can have constructive potential. They can assess strengths and identify.weaknesses so that they may develop self-awareness and develop more choices in their lives, with accompanying skills to make constructive decisions.
