FOUNDER'S NOTE
When we look back on a lifetime’s work and experiences, what really matters is how much we enjoyed (and contributed) to the journey, and not the destination that we have reached. Since childhood I was fascinated with human beings (often animal beings too) and their behavior.
Wanting to contribute my mite towards welfare of individuals, I sought out ways and means to reach out and enrich quality of life through empowerment, and not by charity. It is a joy to see how Banjara and Banjarites have flourished in the past over four decades and have made a mark in the world of human behaviour and counselling, and I look forward always to include more and more people into the ever growing Banjara family.

Ali’s Reflections…
After the long and cozy winter, the summer takes over. Days get longer and hotter, cold drinks (and even water) taste so delicious. Fans are whirring overhead, and lucky people duck into air-conditioned rooms.
The greatest joy of summer is in the evenings. As the day starts ebbing the sun mellows down, shadows get longer, and a cool breeze starts dancing around you. If you spend that part of the day outdoors, you can see many trees blooming with new flowers or different colored leaves, and the leaves dance to the breeze that announces the coming of sunset.
Birds fly to their nests in neat formations, clouds appear in the sky, and if you sprinkle water on the uncovered earth you get a fascinating aroma and a whiff of cool air. Enjoy nature.
Sometime or the other we have to face a difficult, or even toxic, relationship.
And if the person is part of our life in some way, we cannot physically get away. All joys and pleasant experiences get submerged due to the continuous verbal attacks and the mental pain we go through on a regular basis.
Many of us are essentially kind people. We do not wish to take up confrontation. We hope that if we are constantly nice to the person, they will mellow down some time and become nicer to us. It rarely happens. And we are left with emotional trauma that can scar us for a very long time.
When faced with such a situation, the best thing is to learn how to mentally insulate yourself. Use any technique suitable to you, look at life holistically, appreciate the other good relationships, build up your self-esteem, practice assertiveness, and set long-term goals towards a better dawn – which will inevitably come, sooner or later.
I look around and see that people are hardly stepping out of their houses – restaurants have more Swiggy delivery agents, Malls seem to be empty, meetings and seminars have become on-line.
The after-effects of Covid have truly become the “new normal” and face-to-face interaction is reducing consistently. People prefer to be in their cocoons and social interaction at personal level has reduced.
Visiting friends, going to the street corner for pani-puri, watching movies in a cinema theater, shopping for daily needs, or just taking a walk in the park, have become less and less.
Please keep aside your mobiles and revive the human touch once again, feel the warmth and sense of belonging.
Want to be a WINNER? Take Charge of your Life
As a first step, stop looking at others and feeling jealous. Do not live your life on what “it could or should have been.” Do not live in the past. And definitely do not develop the habit of gossiping, back-biting, criticizing, and being sarcastic about things and people around you. Eventually you will be the worst sufferer. See how many of these points you already have, and identify those that you need to develop:
- Winners treat time as precious. They don’t kill it.
- They do not dedicate their lives to a concept of what they SHOULD be.
- They are not afraid to do their own thinking
- They can separate facts from fiction and perception
- They respond to the situation
- Winners learn to know their feelings and limitations and to be unafraid of them
- They can manage their anger and can listen when others are angry with them.
- They can give and receive affection & praise
- They can enjoy themselves, and postpone enjoyment
- Winners are compassionate; they want to work to make the world a better place.
There is no doubt that only a person who takes charge, responsibility, acceptance, and agrees that the buck stops with him, can truly create a quality of life that can give him immense satisfaction and fulfillment. It may be difficult at times, there may be setbacks, but in the long term there is no substitute.
So ask yourself whether you are open to change. Change is taking place very rapidly, and if you are not pro-active, if you do not create your own weather, however good you are in your current work and relationships, some day you will fall behind. If you are ready for change, let’s understand what is ….

Popular Question
Yes, DCS is designed to suit even those who do not have prior theoretical knowledge of psychology. If you are fascinated by human behaviour, you will get ample opportunity to dive deeper into understanding human emotions and behaviour!
The course is simple and at a very practical level and helps you to understand relationships. We do not have textbooks or syllabus. We will mail you short notes which are easy to understand and comprehend. DCS helps you to become more self-aware and identify your hidden potential. You can certainly use DCS as a means of self-growth as well as to kick start your second innings in a new and meaningful field like counselling.
While you would have gained theoretic knowledge in the field of psychology, DCS will complement your learning to enhance your practical skills to be able to actually deal with different types of human behaviour and issues. It is totally experiential without any theory or text book. Internships at various institutions of your choice help you with practical learning.
We do not give any guarantee of jobs. However, our students are working in a wide range of institutions including schools, colleges, NGOs, corporate offices, government institutions, and some have even opened their own counselling centres. In fact, many organizations reach out to us when they need counselors. All such vacancies are put up on the website for the benefit our students.
We have consciously kept away from any affiliation or recognition, though we were offered affiliations to reputed institutions. All our courses have been designed without exams and tests, hence that gives you ease of learning with any pressure of completing portions or being worried about exams, grades or marks.
We are members with fully voting rights of the World Federation for Mental Health, USA.
