Adikavi Nannaya University (AKNU), Rajamahendravaram Vice-Chancellor M. Jagannadha Rao on Friday inaugurated the Centre for Psychological Assessment and Counselling (CPAC) on the university campus in East Godavari district.

Speaking on the occasion, Prof. Jagannadhara Rao said that services would be offered to couples with disputes, people with family problems and students with academic and career issues. “The Centre will be helpful for scholars and students of the Department of Psychology for their academic research, apart from getting opportunity to observe the cases. Psychological assessment of the students will also be done at the facility,” he said.
P. Rajasekhar is the in-charge of the centre. AKNU Registrar T. Ashok and other teaching staff were present on the occasion.
