Jamia Millia Islamia Launches RCI Accredited Child Guidance Diploma
A university called Jamia Millia Islamia has started a new special class to help people learn how to guide and support children who are having problems.
This class is like a college degree that takes two terms to finish.
It's very special because an organization called the Rehabilitation Council of India has approved it.
This means the teachers and the lessons are really good and meet high standards.
The university's leaders think this is a great idea and are supporting it.
Experts came to talk to the new students about important things like how kids grow, how to keep them safe, and how to help children who have special needs or mental health challenges.
The goal is to train people to become good counselors for children.
Jamia Millia Islamia's Department of Psychology has launched an advanced diploma in child guidance and counselling.
The two-semester course is accredited by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI).
The launch was supported by the Vice Chancellor and Registrar of JMI.
The orientation program featured sessions on child development, protection, mental health, and substance abuse.
The course aims to train professional counsellors and uphold professional standards in the field.
