· Initiative given to College’s special counseling cell DISHA
to develop worry-free community on the direction of UGC
· Apart from Corona, other human concerns are being suggested
through e-mail, Messages and phone calls: Principal Professor (Dr.) Ajay Sareen
Jalandhar: In the time of COVID-19 Lockdown, another
negative factor is rapidly increasing in human behaviour, that is worry and
fear. It is important to make people aware of Virus Corona to be safe from this
disease, but parallel awareness and counseling is more important for people
about freedom from fear and anxiety. This is arising out of non-essential
information being received by various mediums. For this, the Counseling Cell
“Disha” of Hans Raj Mahila Maha Vidyalaya
(HMV) is working relentlessly. This is an initiative for students as well as
citizens.
On behalf of Cell Disha, HMV Principal Professor (Dr.) Ajay
Sareen shared that Our cell is not only working for the residents of Jalandhar
but also ready to council other state people too. She said that we have started
giving primary psychological therapy in context of questions related to
curiosity, fear and anxiety. She said that due to increasing medium of
communication in the society, people are suffering from insecurity in every
way, which is not only keeping everyone away from social concerns, but is also
taking them away from themselves. In such period, Psychology department of HMV
has started counseling in a psychological way. Principal Professor (Dr.) Sareen
said that due to social distancing, the college has started an email counselinghmv@gmail.com in this regard. Apart from this, the senior faculty of
the college Dr. Ashmeen Kaur, Dr. Venus and Ms. Anjana have been counseling
through whatsapp messages and video calls. The mobile numbers of these faculty
members have been made available on the college website. Through this platform
people can get solutions to their fears, insecurities and other psychology
based problems.
Principal Professor (Dr.) Ajay Sareen has appealed everyone
to avoid rumours in this period of Covid-19. She advised people to avoid getting
unnecessary information, spend time with family, and take precaution suggested
by the health department. She further added to read books, play indoor games
for fun, listen to good music and most importantly, firmly believe that this
time will pass too. The universe is in the hands of God. Have faith and gather
strength from within.
