SRIJAN, the student association and academic society of the Department of Psychology, Aryabhatta College was inaugurated on the 5 th of September, 2016. The name was derived from the Sanskrit word “Srij” which means “getting to the root and creating something unique”. The association is a platform to create opportunities for self-development.

Since it’s inception, the society has made a point to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW) in October every year to spread awareness about mental health and an annual PSYGALA event, a departmental festival to celebrate the discipline of Psychology. The Department also comes out with an annual magazine “SRIJAN” which consists of curated works by students and faculties. Under the Faculty In-charge of the society and along with the elected student officer bearers, the society conducts various scholarly and extracurricular events in and for the Department of Psychology like seminars, webinars, workshops, freshers’, farewells etc.

SRIJAN also stands for leadership in spreading awareness about mental well-being by truly endorsing the value of a healthy mind. It will continue to work with the same spirit of enhancing the image of the department based on inclusive leadership, strengthening identity of the discipline, and overall dedication to human development.
