Manodaya – The Psychology Clinic
Centre for Psychological Enhancement
In simple English, Manodaya means — Uplifting of the Mind. At Manodaya, thus, human mind has a special place, based on the belief that Mind is Man. It is in the mind that the individual is made or marred. The aim, therefore, is to help people to keep the mind-space as uncluttered as possible, which appears particularly difficult in the complexity of modern life. Despite this, if the individual gets appropriate expert support, he, or she, can keep the mind-space clean and free for creative, meaningful pursuits that ultimately give the person a sense of attainment.

Manodaya – The Centre for Psychological Enhancement is busy providing to the needy, various psychological services such as psychometric testing including assessments of Intelligence, Personality, Learning Disorders , Aptitude , plus many other clinical tests.
