About the Program
It is a social science course that is aimed at teaching students to utilize resources
to eradicate the problems of society and try to alleviate their pain and problems
through counselling, funds or different social methods.
The course provides specialized knowledge about various subjects related to
social works such as Labour Welfare, Human Resource Development & Management,
Rural Reconstruction, Child Rights & Child Protection, Community Development, and
much more. However, with only 12.5% female work force there has been a gender gap in
the field of social work in India.
The main purpose of presenting the Social Work program in India is to enable
social work practitioners to develop sensitivity, cultivate rights-based perspective, values
and ethics, learn research skills, and build skills and competencies required for effective
social work intervention in the society in different sectors, ranging from child welfare to
sociology.
Graduates will be able to gain conceptual clarity, reflective learning, analysis, and
critical thinking to do fieldwork, and also attain self-awareness, research skills to
contribute meaningfully in various organizations and aspects of the society.
