About NPPA


Namaste!

Welcome to National Positive Psychology Association.

Positive Psychology is a relatively new field of inquiry that has captured the attention of thousands of researchers, practitioners and students globally as well as in India. Positive Psychology is the scientific study of positive human functioning and flourishing on multiple levels including the biological, personal, relational, institutional, cultural and global dimensions of life. In 2013, National Positive Psychology Association (NPPA) was established with the aim to bring together Indian academicians, researchers, practitioners and students who are interested in the field of Positive Psychology. The vision of NPPA is to explore the fields of positive psychology constructs globally (West & East especially India) with respect to teaching and research and integrate the positive psychology activities in the country.

NPPA’s mission is:

  • To provide a platform of interaction among researchers, teachers, students, and practitioners of positive psychology in India.
  • To provide, psychological tests which have been developed , translated and adapted in India
  • To share the findings of positive psychology with the a larger segment of people in India.


NPPA wishes to support scientific research on positive psychology in India and create an open dialogue between researchers, teachers and practitioners working in the field of positive psychology. We invite all psychology scholars, social scientists and practitioners to join us. We would also like to invite other non-governmental organizations, professionals and researchers who are contributing through their research and extension work (outreach programs) to enhance the quality of life of individuals and communities.
