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…
It is good to fail sometimes.
I have seen based on my constant interactions with different types of people that ‘Failures are Stepping Stones to Success’. Those who have a smooth life, no setbacks or downfalls, find it difficult to face obstacles when something goes wrong.
Also, “failing in something does not mean you are a failure”. It is just that you could not achieve what you had aimed for. A dull student is happy if he passes his Board exams with 35%, and a topper is crestfallen if he gets 92 instead of 98%.
So next time you do not succeed in what you were doing, celebrate. You are becoming stronger, and you will be able to handle any difficult challenges in future. Also, set process goals instead of absolute ones. Do not set a goal “I will get a promotion in June this year”. Set a goal that you will learn more and perform much better by June. That type of thinking keeps motivating you all the time.
Conscious and Subconscious Mind
We are often not aware of the major role that our subconscious mind plays in our emotions or actions on a daily basis. We may decide to think positive, work hard, or take responsible decisions, but if our mind has been programmed since childhood or later to believe differently, we do not carry out our desires.
You may wonder why, when you are determined and willing, you are still not able to carry out responsibilities or commitments. You work to build a positive mental attitude, but you keep getting pulled back constantly: It is because the subconscious mind is far stronger and more influential than the conscious mind with which you are making efforts currently.
Once you resolve issues of the past, undo mental blocks developed in the past, you will be able to do what you really want to.
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.
Which is the best career?
If there was a “best” career that everyone would aim for, then very soon its scope would drastically come down, because there will be too many people qualifying in that field. In fact this is what happened in the late nineties to IT and in the past few years to BT (biotechnology). Both are very challenging and promising fields. But whenever too many people rush towards them, the demand obviously comes down.
Keep in mind that when you choose a career and qualify in it, you will be working for almost fifty years in your chosen profession. Have a vision, don’t be carried away by which field the highest paid jobs are currently being offered in. In your working life, many times the “scope” of the career will go up and down. But if you choose wisely, and for the right reasons, you will continue to do well even when there is a recession in that field.
If you have finished your 10th, you are already on the crossroads where you have to start taking the most important decisions of your life. If you are coming close to the 10th standard, it is time to start narrowing down right now. If you are even further ahead academically, this is your last chance to steer towards your final goal. Introspect deeply.
Your career decision should be taken based on the following factors:
- Your interest (what you actually want to do for the rest of your life, what you will enjoy doing).
- Your love for particular subjects, since they lay the foundation of the work you are going to be doing.
- The lifestyle that you prefer, your personality characteristics, your extra-curricular interests.
- Your aptitude – i.e. your potential to develop the skills required in any particular career.
Equally important is to know what the various career options are. The choice is increasing at a rapid pace, and you need not follow in the footsteps of the older generation. You can be part of a new, challenging, and thrilling vocation. Write to us if you want further guidance.

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!

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.

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.
