HOD's Message

“Welcome to the Psychology Department, a hub for exploring the intricacies of the human mind! As the Head of Department (HOD) Psychology, I’m thrilled to introduce you to our vibrant community of scholars, researchers, and learners.

Our department is dedicated to fostering a deeper understanding of human behavior, cognition, and emotion. We delve into the complexities of the human experience, examining the interplay between biological, environmental, and cultural factors that shape our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Through our academic programs, research initiatives, and community outreach activities, we aim to promote emotional intelligence, social cognition, and mental well-being. Our faculty and students engage in cutting-edge research, exploring topics such as cognitive neuroscience, developmental psychology, social psychology, and counseling.

As we navigate the complexities of the human psyche, we recognize the importance of empathy, self-awareness, and personal growth. Our department strives to create an inclusive, supportive environment that encourages students to develop their critical thinking skills, challenge assumptions, and cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves and others.

As the renowned psychologist Carl Rogers once said, ‘The very essence of the creative is its novelty, and hence we have no standard by which to judge it.’ As we embark on this academic journey together, I invite you to embrace the creative, the unknown, and the complexities of the human experience.

Join us in our pursuit of knowledge, wisdom, and personal growth. Let us explore, learn, and inspire each other to become active agents of positive change in our communities and the world at large.

 

Sincerely,

Dr. Navshad Ahmed Wani
