The contemporary social realities call for services and action for social change in the area of social development, welfare and crisis intervention that require professionally qualified human power, with specialized knowledge and skills. The effectiveness of social initiatives for development, social welfare, social action, and to begin a process of change through enabling the vulnerable sections of the society to participate fully in the overall development of the country is, thus, linked with the quality of human power employed in the development and welfare institutions, both governmental and non-governmental, and also in the people-oriented community-based social movements and services.<\/p>

It is in this context, and in order to upgrade and enhance the quality of professional education and practice that the Department of Social Work (DSW) was established within the University, under the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. The DSW soon launched the Master of Social Work (MSW), a full time two-year residential post-graduate programme, and a Research programme leading to Ph.D. on 23rd August 2011, with the aim of training students to plan and execute an extensive range of social services and social welfare activities in order to bring about a social change. An innovative blend of theory, fieldwork and research is designed to provide the students with a variety of skills to enable them to be active practitioners and academics.<\/p>

The focus of the ADBU Social Work programme is to foster among the students a sense of social commitment by providing them professional training and enabling them to address the needs of the marginalized sections of the society. The course curriculum is so designed that it facilitates and moulds the overall personality development of the students to take up challenges and career opportunities of this demanding and dynamic profession. It is the mandate of DSW to focus on issues pertaining to the Region of North East India.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
