Saturday 10th July, 2021 from 4 pm to 6 pm. The venue for the program was google meet. The
aim of the whole program was to give a detailed insight to the participants on Child psychology.
These sessions were organized and conducted by Organic minds. It is an organization which
was found in 2019. Within a time of two years, they have come a long way. They conduct
psychology workshops and tuitions. They also help out their clients who struggle with mental
health disorders and lack mental health. Currently they are only providing online therapy due
to the pandemic. Their main focus is to promote mental health and spread the importance of
the same. Organic minds main source is their Instagram handle, through which we can view all
their daily positive reminders and also easily communicate with them. Their page is filled with
variety of mental health posts, and also provides small explanations on some mental health
disorders. It also keeps us up to date with their workshops and programs. This organization
also help out students interested in psychology to make a firm career in the same.

The speakers were Ms. Vidushi Rai and Ms. Krithika Kapoor, both are registered CCI
counsellors. Ms. Krithika Kapoor has done her post-graduation in Clinical psychology, and has
a good amount of experience in teaching and counselling. She is a cordial and accommodative
person. She is the Founder of Organic minds. On the other hand, Ms. Vidushi Rai has done
her post-graduation in Counselling psychology, she is an well-rounded and experienced person
and is the co-founder of Organic minds. Both of them had the vision to promote mental well-
being and from their own personal experiences and learnings, they always had an in-depth
desire to reach out to others and also educate people, especially the youth on various topics
within psychology. They manage the whole organization by themselves and both currently
work as Counselling psychologists. Both provide help individually and together to those
suffering from mental health issues and problems by conducting therapy/ counselling sessions.

This workshop covered various concepts that are inclined with Child psychology. Organic
minds also provided the participants with ample amount of resources to refer and also explained
everything to the point. They had provided us with a power point presentation during the
sessions, which was a clear draft of everything that the speakers were explaining during the
sessions. In two day time the speakers succeeded with the completion of the following topics:

• Understanding Child psychology


• Role of a Child psychologist
• Developmental theories
• Issues in childhood
• Child therapy
• Techniques in Child counselling/therapy

The first day’s session was taken by Ms. Krithika Kapoor and the last day’s session was
conducted by Ms. Vidushi Rai. Day one was based on understanding child psychology, what
does a child psychologist do or his/her role. Lastly the developmental theories were covered as
well. During the second days session Ms. Rai focused on the issues faced in childhood, and the
moved onto child therapy and how it is conducted. The wide range of techniques used in child
counselling/therapy were also explained.
SESSION WISE CONTENT

DAY ONE

The first day’s session began at 4pm in the evening, with a formal introduction of both the
speakers. The session started with an explanation about what is Child psychology. It is a study
of subconscious and conscious childhood development. Child psychologists observe how a
child interacts with their parents, themselves, and the world, to understand their mental
development. Then Ms. Kapoor spoke about the physical, emotional (social) and cognitive
developments. The physical development in children is typically a predictable sequence of
events. Major delays in physical development may reveal other underlying developmental
issues that can be addressed early on.

Emotional development refers to how the child feels, understands and expresses their emotions.
She mentioned that emotional and social developments are deeply intertwined because the way
a child feels, understands and expresses their feelings has a direct impact on how they interact
with other people. It also involves the child’s ability to feel and understand the emotions of
other people through empathy. Cognitive development refers to the intellectual learning and
thought processes of a child. There are some factors which are involved in these, which are
influenced by the child’s genetics and environment.

The second part of this session was about the role of Child psychologists. Child psychologists
assess, diagnose, and treat children who may have slight or severe mental, emotional, or social
disorders. They help such children and their families to be happy and successful in their day to
day lives and reach their developmental milestones. They conduct psychological assessments
and tests for diagnostic purposes. They also provide an individualized treatment plan for each
child. Child psychologists even educate the family members on what they can do to help their
child. They recommend rehabilitation or intervention programs to overcome addiction issues.
Ms. Kapoor also spoke about the requirements needed to become a Child psychologist. They
must have a bachelor’s degree in psychology, a graduate degree in psychology and finally a
ph.D in clinical or child psychology.

The final topic for the day was Developmental theories. These are the theories that divide child
development into distinct stages which are characterized by qualitative differences in
behaviour. She spoke in detail about Freud’s Psychosexual stages of development, which
includes the oral, anal, phallic stage, the latent period and lastly the genital stage. The oral stage
is from birth to 1 year, the anal stage is from 1 to 3years and the phallic stage is from 3 to 6
years. There is the latent period from 6 to puberty and finally the genital stage from puberty till
death. Ms. Kapoor then moved onto Erickson’s stages of psychosocial development, which are
divided into 8 stages. Stage 1 is trust vs mistrust, stage 2 is autonomy vs shame and doubt,
stage 3 is initiative vs guilt, stage 4 is industry vs inferiority, stage 5 is identity vs confusion,
stage 6 is intimacy vs isolation, stage 7 is generativity vs stagnation and lastly stage 8 is
integrity vs despair. Then Jean Piaget theory of cognitive development was taught. This theory
suggests that children move through four different stages of mental development, which are
the sensorimotor stage, the preoperational stage, the concrete operational stage, and lastly the
formal operational stage. Day one’s session was wrapped up a little late around 6:40 in the
evening.
DAY TWO

Day two’s session began around 4:15 in the evening. Ms. Vidushi Rai is the one who handled
this session. She spoke about the different mental health disorders and the most common issues
that Child counsellors treat. She also gave an insight about the common signs of mental health
issues or psychological distress. Some of the signs are unprovoked aggression, low grades or a
sudden academic decline, constant worry and anxiety, social withdrawal from the activities
your child once liked, suicidal thoughts or attempts, alcohol or drug use, abuse or addiction.

The second topic covered during this session was about child counselling. Child counselling
is a type of therapy that focusses on young children, teens and adolescents with one or more
mental illnesses. It also provides aid to youths, who have experienced trauma, or who are
experiencing a dysfunctional or stressful home environment. She mentioned the goals of child
therapy sessions as well. The goals are to build self-esteem, improve communication skills,
drive healthy development and build emotional vocabulary. She also gave some ideas onto how
to convince children for therapy.

Further on, Ms. Rai spoke about the different techniques of child therapy/ counselling. There
are many effective forms of child therapy with evidence to back them up, including Applied
behaviour analysis also known as ABA, which is a scientific approach to understanding
behaviour. ABA refers to a set of principles that focus on how behaviours change, or are
affected by the environment, as well as how learning takes place. Then we have Cognitive
behaviour therapy also known as CBT, is a form of psychological treatment that has been
demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders,
alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness.
Family therapy is a form of talk therapy that focuses on improving relationships between
family members and resolving conflicts.

Younger children may also benefit from play therapy, which is a form of therapy used primarily
for children. A trained therapist can use playtime to observe and gain insights into a child’s
problems. The therapist can then help the child explore emotions and deal with unresolved
trauma. Through play, children can learn new coping mechanisms and how to redirect
inappropriate behaviours. Older adolescents may benefit from Dialectical behaviour therapy
which is also known as DBT, a type of talking therapy. It's based on cognitive behavioural
therapy (CBT), but it's specially adapted for people who feel emotions very intensely. The aim
of DBT is to help you understand and accept your difficult feelings. Group therapy also helps.
It is a form of psychotherapy that involves one or more therapists working with several people
at the same time. This type of therapy is widely available at a variety of locations including
private therapeutic practices, hospitals, mental health clinics, and community centres.

To conclude with the whole training program both the speakers had an open discussion with
us about the different career paths in psychology and also cleared our doubts regarding the
whole two day sessions. They signed off by speaking a few words about Organic minds, left
out details about themselves, thanking each participant for joining the program. They also
informed us to reach out for help when in need since mental health must be considered
seriously. Day two’s session was concluded by 6:30 in the evening.
LEARNING OUTCOMES

The two day program on Child psychology and therapy was a fascinating experience by all
means. The program was very helpful and worth all the time and energy put forth into it. The
participants were able to understand and adapt to a lot of concepts from these sessions. The
highlight of the whole training program was its interactive sessions and it’s informative
teaching. Both the speakers conveyed every information in a detail and in an understandable
manner. They had also kept the participants engaged through an open discussion and quiz. The
sessions focussed on Child psychology in detail and gave an insight on how to provide help to
children facing different mental health issues. Through these sessions we have clearly
understood that being a Child psychologist needs an adequate amount of patience and
understanding. It is extremely difficult to deal with children as they are very different from
adults and that is why there is a whole different level of mental health sector for children.

We got a clear idea about the physical, emotional (social), and cognitive developments. The
participants were also able to dive deep into the various types of developmental theories,
including Freud’s Psychosexual stages of development, Erickson’s stages of psychosocial
development and Jean Piaget theory of cognitive development. Child psychologists assess,
diagnose, and treat children who may have slight or severe mental, emotional, or social
disorders. They help the children and their families to find joy and peace in their daily lives.
The participants who wanted to pursue their career in child psychology had an opportunity to
clarify all their doubts and also were given a full description on the requirements needed to
become a Child psychologist. The sessions also provided us with great information on the
different kinds of childhood trauma and mental health problems and how we could possibly
convince children for therapy. The participants were able to explore the different techniques
used in child therapy or counselling as well.

Child counselling is a type of therapy that focusses on young children, teens and adolescents
with one or more mental illnesses. It also provides aid to youths, who have experienced trauma.
There are many effective forms of child therapy including the Applied behaviour analysis,
Cognitive behavioural therapy, Family therapy, younger children may also benefit from Play
therapy, and older adolescents may benefit from Dialectical behaviour therapy, Group therapy.
We are now able to easily understand if a child is facing any mental health disorder or distress
because of all the signs of mental health issues in children that were explained in the second
days session. The training program as a whole was extremely well taught, lively, interactive
and provided fresh in concepts and never failed to focus on the actual real life examples of
child trauma. Altogether we were able to understand and grasp information on a lot of concepts
revolving around Child psychology through this whole program.

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Importance of Organizational Studies

Organisation A consciously coordinated social unit, composed of two or more people, that
functions on a relatively continuous basis to achieve a common goal or a set of goals. For
example NGOs. One of the key reasons why organizational studies is considered to be
inevitable is due to its multi-faceted benefits. Every company is always looking for room to
improve and one of tested and proven methods of achieving that is by studying organizational
behavior, working conditions, conducting market research etc. Companies often have a set of
goals to adhere to and an efficient company is one that monitors these goals to make note of
improvements, deviations as well as break even points. Hence, to keep a constant eye on the
internal working of an organization is also a form of studies. It can also be done externally, by
external parties such as students, auditors and other organizations.

A predominant motive behind studying the working of an organization is to learn how to


structure an organization in a way that it brings revenue and also creates a positive environment
in which work flow is efficient. Studying the past and current performance of a firm also helps
with futuristic planning. Forward thinking organizations often have to curate plans for the near
future and one way to achieve that is to study previous and current operations of the firm. This
will help them in identifying mistakes to not repeat them again in the process. Studying
organizations help us to define goals more clearly, assign departmental roles more proficiently
and thereby helps each department to achieve a better understanding of the resources available
as well as their function. Organizational behavior on the other hand, studies the behavior of
employees to understand why they behave the way they do. Both are significant in the
understanding of the working of an organization internally.

Purpose of this Study:

The motivating factor that led me to choose Tata Motors is the unimaginable success it’s had
and is continuing to have. I strongly believe that the success of this company is hard work and
vision of its founders as well as their staff, which is the greatest resource of them all. The
company has been expanding and conquering its world denomination since 1961.
Perseverance, aspiration, foresight and the diligent working of their various departments is the
reason I chose Tata Motors for this project. The visualization of one person is the reason that
the company exists and performs the way it does. Tata Motors aim to be the most reliable global
network for customers and suppliers and they prove to be successful with every move they
make. There is a lot of planning and foresight that goes in to every acquisition, every takeover
and my aim is to understand the working of such a successful firm.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

The automotive industry comprises a wide range of companies and organizations involved in
the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and selling of motor vehicles. It is one
of the world's largest industries by revenue. Although the automobile originated
in Europe in the late 19th century, the United States completely dominated the world
industry for the first half of the 20th century through the invention of mass
production techniques. In the second half of the century the situation altered sharply as
western European countries and Japan became major producers and exporters. The process
evolved from engineers working on a stationary car, to a conveyor belt system where the
car passed through multiple stations of more specialised engineers. The world’s largest
automotive industry supplier is Bosch.

revenue. The Japanese auto giant generated almost 250 billion U.S. dollars in revenue in 2020,
while Volkswagen raked in a little more than 245 billion U.S. dollars. Global sales of
automobiles are forecast to fall to just under 70 million units in 2021, down from a peak of
almost 80 million units in 2017. The auto industry's most important industry segments include
commercial vehicles and passenger cars. Volkswagen Group, Toyota, Renault–Nissan–
Mitsubishi Alliance, General Motors , Hyundai Motor Group, Ford, Honda Motor Group, Fiat
Chrysler Automobiles are the biggest automakers in the world.

ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE

4.1 INTRODUCTION

An organizational structure is a system that outlines how certain activities are directed in order
to achieve the goals of an organization. These activities can include rules, roles, and
responsibilities. The organizational structure also determines how information flows between
levels within the company. It also means a developed enterprise being operated to achieve the
given goals. It involves the structure of relationships among positions and jobs with the object
of accomplishment of enterprise objectives. It is a systematic combination of people, functions
and facilities.

The importance of an organisational structure-

• It serves as a management planning tool


• It can improve decision making and communication

4.2 TYPES OF ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE

1. Hierarchical organizational structure- It’s the most common type of organizational


structure. The chain of command goes from the top (e.g., the CEO or manager) down (e.g.,
entry-level and low-level employees) and each employee has a supervisor.

2. Divisional organizational structure- Here a company’s divisions have control over


their own resources, essentially operating like their own company within the larger
organization. Each division can have its own marketing team, sales team, IT team, etc. This
structure works well for large companies as it empowers the various divisions to make
decisions without everyone having to report to just a few executives.

3. Team-based organizational structure- It is meant to disrupt the traditional hierarchy,


focusing more on problem solving, cooperation, and giving employees more control. Might
make promotional paths less clear for employees

4. Matrix organizational structure- It shows cross-functional teams that form for special
projects. Employees report to two or more managers instead of one manager taking the
responsibility over all aspects of a project, leading to two or more chains of command. Tata
Motors has a Matrix Organizational Structure with both heads of functions as well as heads of
vehicle divisions forming part of the top management of the company. It is through the
collaboration of the various departments that day to day operations take place. Each Head of
Division/Function is solely responsible for performance of their area of work.
