Innovative Contribution to Teaching and Counseling:

With nearly about 30 years of counseling experience we have developed a training module which can be used as a group counseling program.  This training module can be used both as a remedial and preventive measure to cope with stress.  This is called ‘Stress Coping Through Personality Engineering’. 

Using this module the students of psychology were trained to give counseling help to different target groups and individuals. 

Using this module as a training program to the representatives of corporate organizations we were able to raise ‘Development Fund to the Centre for Criminal Justice’, and raised finances to organize an International Conference for one week

Indian Medical Association (Tenali Branch) considered this module as valuable and I was invited to give an oration lecture to the members of that medical association and presented a Gold Medal as recognition to the counseling services rendered.
