First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge the contributions of my friend and colleague, Prof. Rajani Konantambigi, Professor, School of Human Ecology, Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai. It was she who conceptualized the idea of converting the dissertations of the MA students of the then Centre for Human Ecology into publishable papers. She applied for a project for the Board of Research Studies, TISS. When the MA in Counselling programme was conceptualized, with a dissertation based on primary research as a compulsory, integral part of the programme, one of the aims was to encourage students to carry out research on aspects of counselling and counsellors in India, under the supervision of the faculty, which could be converted to published papers in journals or books on the issue.
