"Guidance is counselling or advice on educational, vocational or psychological matters. Guidance as an organised activity is nascent in India, though it was in vogue in developed western countries since very long. Only recently its need is being felt as such trained professionals are engaged for guidance and counselling at various levels.

Guidance is also necessary for career planning. As such in the modern age of advanced technology career planning is much emphasised. As such a careful and calculated guidance is the need of hour.

The present book gives a vivid account of guidance and counselling--educational, vocational and career planning. This book will prove informative and useful for students, teachers and professionals in the field." (jacket)
