The scholars discussed a common objective of setting up a good professional organization which can provide a national forum and fulfill the need for serious scholars committed to the growth of psychology in India. It was realized very intensively that professional associations and organizations are vehicles which transport the ideas, professional collaborations, and blending of minds. The NAOP (INDIA) was visualized to provide a forum of for exchange of ideas and sharing of knowledge among psychologists working in various academic and applied fields all over India.
