The department of Social Work was started with a mindset to train the prospective social workers in the social outreach skills. With an intake of 30 students, the course was started 07 years back with an assumption that individuals, groups, community and society at large suffer from various psychosocial problems. This course helps the students to work for the well- being of needy people especially weaker sections by empowering them. The department of Social Work has signed MoU with the National Association of Professional Social Workers (NAPSWI) and Association of Professional Social Workers and Development Practitioners (APSWDP) based at Chandigarh. The thrust of the Department is to equip the students well with the Social Work knowledge base, skills and abilities required to grow professionally. The department of Social Work is offering the best syllabus in parlance with UGC Learning Outcomes-based Curriculum Framework. The Field Work Practicum is an integral part of the Social Work course and special emphasis is given on training of the students through concurrent fieldwork, summer internship, orientation visits, educational tours, training workshop, seminar/webinar etc, where students get opportunity to learn by doing in real-life situations.
