| The Bachelor Degree Programme in Social Work is aimed at training individuals who are already working or desire to work in the Development and Welfare sectors. Political leaders, policy makers and community leaders all over the world have identified the well being of individuals as a key priority in governance. With globalisation and emerging concerns in issues related to women, environment, man made and natural disasters, human rights, mental heath, HIV/ AIDS and so on, opportunities for employment and career growth for the already employed are expected to increase in non-governmental and governmental sectors. Professionally trained social workers are well qualified to be employed in these sectors due to the following advantages: 1. Interdisciplinary knowledge base. 2. Training in a wide variety of interpersonal skills. 3. Field work experience during which skills and knowledge are applied under supervision of a professional social worker. 4. Exposure to the working of development/ welfare organizations, problem areas and the implementation of development/ welfare programmes. 5. Entry into a body of professional social workers and related support systems. 6. Imbibing appropriate attitudes required for working with individuals, groups and communities. |
