The National Academy of Psychology (NAOP), India and the Institute of Rural Management, Anand (IRMA), Anand (Gujarat) together announce the XXI Annual Convention of the National Academy of Psychology (NAOP), India, to be held at IRMA, from December 12 to 14, 2011. The conference aims to provide a space for a contemporary intellectual debate on varied issues in psychology aimed at human welfare. Apart from having different topics in psychology the conference will also have an International Symposium on the multidimensionality and varied conceptualization of human development and poverty by keeping 'human' at the centre of discourse. Debates will focus on alternative conceptualizations and measurement of poverty and human development. The theme of the conference “Human Development and Poverty: Alternative Conceptualizations and Measurements” seeks to examine how inner and the subjective construction by human beings, both at the individual and collective level, can be a source of creative transcendence in overcoming the structural barriers in creating life that is both meaningful and happy. How do different factors at subjective level and at the level of material world interact and how do they change each other. On behalf of NAOP 2011 scientific committee, we invite you to submit symposium proposals and papers for oral and poster sessions and to participate. We look forward to seeing you this December in IRMA, Anand (Gujarat)
