It gives me immense pleasure to share the placement brochure of the outgoing batch (2013-14) as Head of the Department of Social Work, University of Delhi.

The Department of Social Work, popularly known as Delhi School of Social Work has the honour of being the first school of social work in India to be affiliated to a University. And, it also has the distinction of being the first institution in Asia to offer a Masters degree in Social Work. The campus placement by our Department was introduced in the year 1994-95. Since then every year our department brings out the placement brochure, which has been instrumental in finding apposite placements for all aspiring students of the Department.

The master’s programme at the Department is a two year programme which includes a mix of the theoretical rigour as well as engagements at the sites of practicum. During the two year stay of students with us, they are meticulously trained through various pedagogic inputs systematically spread across four semesters. They are also provided exposure to a wide range of practice sites for better understanding of critical social realities. The availability of relevant courses in the third and the fourth semesters permit the students to choose from a diverse basket of elective papers. It has facilitated the students to have a distinctive focus on certain thematic areas while also helping them broaden their knowledge base.

I also take this opportunity to convey to you that in sync with previous years; our Department has again been ranked number two in the list of top ten professional institutes in Social Work by Outlook-MDRA survey 2012. We thank you all for helping us retain this position.

I resolutely believe that the training imparted to our graduates at the Department has been able to build the requisite knowledge base and has inculcated in them the core values and competencies to be a change agent vis-à-vis the critical realities.

I extend a warm welcome to all prospective organizations to visit our Department and interact with our young, dynamic and budding professionals who are ready to embrace the upcoming opportunities as well as challenges. I am certain that this entire process would enable you to select the most suitable colleague your organization is looking for. I wish each student of batch of 2013-14 a great and meaningful career ahead.

Prof. Sushma Batra Head of the Department

Message from

the HoD

I take pride in introducing to you the energetic, vibrant and professionally competent class of 2014. Imbued with a rare sensitivity that brought them to the threshold of this prestigious Department of Social Work, the students of this class have evolved and matured into serious and committed human service professionals, ever willing to take on their rightful place in the multifarious domains offered to them under the aegis of the social work profession.

The two year post graduate programme in social work equips the students to acquire a comprehensive and intensive grounding in theoretical discourses. The course curriculum that we offer is an eclectic mix of core courses and courses which incorporate within themselves, the new and emerging issues and contexts for social work practice. Field practicum is the heart and soul of the educational programme and it facilitates the learners to acquire an ongoing opportunity to integrate the theoretical paradigms into practical learning, as also develop skills, competencies, attitudes and values that are integral to their performance as professionals in welfare, development and corporate sectors. The fieldwork programme incorporates the components of orientation, concurrent field work, rural camp, winter & block placements and professional engagement with field practitioners through a supportive field instruction programme. Our efforts to consistently align and realign our placement settings with the requirements of the profession have enabled us to ensure that our learners get a diverse and a ‘real’ feel of the field. Umpteen opportunities to engage with the prevailing and emerging fields of practice and to interface with the lived reality of the core constituencies of the profession have led the students to acquire valuable insights and perspectives to innovative work / practice interventions.

I have been intensively engaged with this batch and can conclusively state that they are an immensely talented and passionate group of budding professionals. They are diverse in persona and yet share a commonality of purpose and core attributes that define social work. Having undergone two years of rigorous semester based education; they have emerged as knowledgeable, competent, confident and compassionate performers, who are ready to immerse themselves in the diverse settings which beckon them. I am confident that the requirements of your organization shall be more than adequately met by our class of 2014. On behalf of the faculty and the students, I would be happy to welcome you to the Department of Social Work, University of Delhi, for recruiting our students to serve your esteemed organization.

DSSWAbout

The Department of Social Work (DSW) , University of Delhi ,formerly known as the Delhi School of Social Work (DSSW), is a leading institution of professional social work practice for more than 67 years. The institution has been redefining the contours of social work education and produced social work professionals who are leaders in their sub domains of practice.

Set up by the national YWCA-India as a school of social work at Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, it started one year programme to give training in social work to the women who were demobilized by the Armed Services, known as the Women’s Auxillary Corps of India, following the end of World War II in 1946.

In 1948, it was shifted to Delhi and came under the Delhi School of Social Work Society. Courses of varying duration in social work were offered at that time. In 1950, a two-year training programme at the post-graduate level was commenced in the institute which was renamed as Delhi School of Social Work. Thus, it became first school in Asia, recognized by the University awarding a Master’s Degree in Social Work.

In April 1961, DSSW became a constituent college of the University of Delhi. The year 1979 was an important landmark in the history of the Department when it was raised to the status of a full-fledged Department of Social Work under the faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Delhi. Since then the Department has been expanding continuously, both in academics as well as in social interventions.

Since 2011 the Department of Social Work has been ranked one among the best schools of social work in India by Outlook MDRA survey.

1. Developing human resources

2. For competent and effective professional social work practice, teaching and research.

3. With diverse range of individuals, groups and communities.

4. By using a framework of social justice and human rights as well as sustainable and participatory development.

5. To create a just and equal society which ensures freedom from all forms of oppression and exploitation.

Students joining the Department of Social Work bring diverse academic and personal background. They come with their own unique professional and personal reasons for pursuing a master’s degree in social work. Thus the curriculum is designed in such a manner that students can easily build on what they have, by taking advantage of new teaching methods which can reinforce the basic skills and concepts. Keeping this and the changing expectations from the profession in mind, the Department has revamped its course curriculum and has introduced semester system from the academic year 2009-2010. The M.A. Programme is divided into two parts and each part consists of two semesters. As Department of Social Work follows Generic Course structure, it doesn’t provide any specializations but students can choose electives and design the course on their own in the second year of the programme.

The degree programmes at the department encompass a wide range of courses as described below . The programmes also allow students to prepare themselves for specific career opportunities or higher studies by offering specializations within a broader domain of study. The various types of courses offered include:

I. Core Courses

These courses form the foundation of the programme and prepare the ground sufficiently to enter into education and development practice at various levels. These are mandatory for all students who are enrolled in the programme.

II. Elective Courses

These courses expand knowledge, skill and orient students towards various dimensions of practice. Students may choose from among several elective courses. Specializations may be gained through students choosing a specified number of elective courses from within the area of specialization they are interested in. These courses allow students to engage deeply with a chosen area and deepen their knowledge of it.

Department of Social Work has one of the best field work programmes in the country wherein students are trained by guided practice in diverse fields. It challenges students to apply theoretical knowledge , skills and values within an organizational and community context. Most importantly, it creates a holistic understanding of social problems and their causative factors while providing the opportunity to envision and rethink strategies for intervention. The different components of field work introduces:

1. Concurrent Field Work Practicum 2. Block Placement 3. Rural Camp

Concurrent Field Work Practicum Concurrent fieldwork provides students an opportunity to integrate theory and practice and thus develop a better understanding of the profession. Field work settings offer real life experience to the students. It gives them hands-on experience of working with people. Students develop their professional as well as personal skills in the process of enriching the lives of people they come in contact with. Concurrent placement becomes a part of students’ curriculum as they involve themselves in understanding their field work setting and working towards the established goals. As it is a year- long process, it gives a holistic dimension to issues existing in the society

The students go to their respective settings twice a week and work under the joint supervision of the department and agency supervisors. Field Work is spread over four semesters where students are placed in three types of organizations:

Type IAt grass-root level people’s organizations working among the community Type IIAt a level of campaigning, advocacy and policy interventions Type IIIWith government or semi-government organizations

The students are placed in different agencies/communities around Delhi in diverse fields from community development to Mental Health Settings.

Block Placement To enhance the impetus of practice based learning, the students are required to undergo a minimum of four weeks of block placement in a work area and organisation of their interest. Block Placement is an opportunity for students to explore multiple areas of practice, drive towards their area of passion and build their capacities in it.

Further, the experience gained through the training enables them to select among the wide range of elective courses and build upon their knowledge base. It help students to broaden their perspectives and get an exposure on issues like tribal rights, disaster management, rural community development, rights of minorities, natural resource conservation et al, which are otherwise difficult to explore during the concurrent fieldwork placements.

Moreover, block placement becomes a pre-employment experience for the students .It enable students to assume professional responsibilities after MA Programme. The enthusiasm of students to work on such contemporary issues is reflected in the choice of organisation ,both of grassroots and intenational level and spread across the length and breadth of the country.

Rural CampRural Camp is an integral part of practice learning. The aim is to provide students with an exposure to rural life, problems and issues related to rural life and enable them to plan, organize and implement relevant programmes. It also helps students evolve a pattern of participative, reflective and analytical learning. Under the semester system, the rural camp is held in the third semester.

In 2013-14 academic session, students from third semester undertook their rural camp at:

Uttarkashi District of Uttarakhand conducting need assessment at disaster affected villages.

Bharatpur District of Rajasthan engaging with communities.
