In developed and advanced countries world over, increasingly Psychologists/Psychotherapists or Qualified Counselors are employed in Program development and evaluation, Community consultation and the administration of social services and mental health services provided by government and community agencies. 

Owing to globalization and the rapid overall progress taking place in our country, we sincerely expect our Government also would extend financial and political support to this Universal Mental Health Program and in that event thousands of Counseling Psychologists/Psychological Counselors would be required in Kerala at every School or College or Panchayat or Community centers to tackle common man’s mental health/emotional issues at affordable cost. Implementation of this Project would reduce suicides, aggression on children, women and others; impart skills of learning to learn, preparing individuals for an unknown tomorrow land and also help many to build self confidence for a peaceful living in this God’s Own Land.
