Department of Psychology, University of Allahabad
The Department of Psychology was founded in 1961 by Prof. D.N. Sinha, who was also the HoD. It was initially housed in the Ladies' waiting hall and the lecture hall, the laboratory and the store were created by erecting wooden partitions within the hall. Psychology was not offered as an elective course at the Undergraduate Level. From these humble beginnings, the Department took exponential strides to establish its place within the academic circle. The Department was a pioneer in starting courses which had 'Societal relevance' e.g. courses on Organizational Psychology, Psychology of Social Change and Development, Psychology of Self. In 1976, the Department was chosen by the UGC to become a Centre of Advanced Studies in 1984. It came to be called the capital of cross-cultural research' in Asia. The publication of an in-house Journal, Psychology and Developing Societies' in 1989 strengthened the research arm further. While M.Psy in HRDM ensured that Psychology is carried to the corporate world, the Center of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (CBCS) was set up in 2001 to further strengthen the Department's quest for excellence. The Department has been blessed to have eminent professors and Visiting faculty like Prof. Durganand Sinha, Dr. C. H. K. Mishra, Dr. Prem Shankar
