Post Graduate Diploma in Rehabilitation Psychology Through Face to Face Mode
Rational of the Course:
Trained and qualified human resource continues to be a major constraint in spite of the enormous efforts by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI). Till date the practitioners under various disabilities registered with RCI are approximately 28 thousand only. For an assumed disability population of 1.85 percent (NSSO 2002), the available human resources in India are infinitely small. Further Rehabilitation professionals have to work under a one to one relationship at least for the initial period of rehabilitation exposes the inadequacy of the immediate requirement.
Keeping the requirement of 2000-4000 psychologists under the IX & X Plan (Report on Manpower Development, RCI, 1996), an attempt to augment the manpower in Rehabilitation Psychology through Face to Face and Distance Education Mode is essential to create trained human resource to deliver services to persons with disabilities.
According to the RCI Act (1992), any person who works as a professional/ personnel has to register with RCI. Further the Expert Committee of the RCI for developing of training programme for six categories including Rehabilitation Psychologists / Rehabilitation Counselors / Vocational Counselors / Rehabilitation Social Workers desirous of working in the area of disability expressed the opinion that he / she should have at the minimum a PG Diploma in Rehabilitation Psychology even after possessing a Bachelor’s or Masters degree in Psychology
It is mandatory to have a PG Diploma in Rehabilitation Psychology to work across disabilities. It is anticipated that there will be a good demand for this course, which is likely to grow with the increase in population and the growing awareness of rehabilitation of persons with disabilities. It is needless to add that the proposed course is a job oriented course which will benefit all who would like to serve the disabled including those who are in service.
