Letters From The Desk

1


Social work is an exceptionally interesting, challenging and rewarding profession to enter. It relies on your energy,

enthusiasm, creativity and personal resilience. It also depends on your capacity to put knowledge to effective use.

That knowledge can take many forms: research evidence drawn from the psychological and social sciences;

knowledge of policy and legislation that provides the context for contemporary practice and; knowledge drawn

from the experience of practitioners and service users.

The social work programme at Jamia Millia Islamia is designed to enable the students to understand, analyse,

practise and evaluate the knowledge, skills and values of social work in its theoretical, organisational and

professional contexts.

I am delighted to introduce to you the outgoing batch of the students of M.A. Social Work. These students were

selected through an all India competition. They have undergone two years (4 semesters) of intense training in core

social work methods and techniques, along with more than 150 hours of field training each semester. The core skills

of the students are developed through the Behavioural and Personality Enrichment Laboratory, Extension Lectures,

Rural Camp etc.

I invite you to visit the campus, interact with our students and recruit them for possible openings in your

organization. I am confident that these students will prove an asset to whichever organization they choose to join.

Jamia Millia Islamia is one of the premier universities of national

importance. It became a Central University by an act of the Indian

Parliament in 1988. This University came into existence at Aligarh in

1920 during the Khilafat and Non-cooperation movement in

Department of Social Work (UGC Centre for Advanced Studies)

The Department of Social Work with its precursor the Jamia School of Social Work came into being over 40 years ago to give yet another

expression to Jamia's historic mission of service to the community. Jamia was known, among other activities, for rendering services to the

neighbourhood through adult education programmes including night schools, literacy centers, and libraries for neo-literate, recreation for

youth, and training of women and girls for their future social and economic roles.

Establishment of Jamia School of Social Work with the introduction of Bachelors Programme in Social Work in 1967 was a pioneering effort to

professionalize Social Work Education and Practice, and to cater to the emerging demand of social work professionals at the field and

supervisory levels. Introduction of a Masters and a Doctorate Programme in Social Work in 1976 and a Masters Programme in Human

Resource Management in 1993 have been some major milestones in the vibrant history of the Department.

The Department has been associated with several National and International organizations including corporate houses, non-governmental

organizations, public sector and autonomous organizations, various ministries of the government, different consultancy organizations and

reputed academic institutions. The department's community outreach programme was instrumental in the setting up of the Zakir Husain

Memorial Welfare Society and the Child Guidance Centre.

In recognition of its contribution in the field of social work, education and research, the University Grants Commission (UGC), accorded the

status of Department of Special Assistance (DSA) in the year 1991 which was followed by two more phases of DSA. It was the first department

in Jamia, and the youngest Social Work department in the country, to earn this status. The department was also sanctioned assistance from

UGC under the ASSISH programme (2005-2010). The DSA and ASSISH put together have strengthened the department in terms of academic

quality and infrastructure building.

All class rooms have the facility of a LCD projector, enabling teachers to use the latest innovations in ICT to impart class room teaching. The

Department also has a fullyfurnished and well-equipped Seminar Room where various skill development laboratories, extension lectures,

seminars and special lectures etc are organized to supplement the class room teaching. In addition to the University library, the Department

also has a library of its own with a collection of approximately 1500 books on various subjects and topics such as Social Work, Human

Resource Management, Social Policy, NGO Management, Research methodology etc. The Social Work Department is also equipped with a

computer lab catering to the research needs of the students and the faculty.

Keeping in view the significant achievements as well as potential for excellence, the department was recently upgraded as the UGC Centre for

Advanced Study in April 2010. The UGC CAS programme has, by providing the required infrastructure, enabled the department to focus on

developing new areas like:

etc. therefore constitute an integral part of the process of teaching and learning. The Department keeps reviewing, revising and restructuring

the curriculum of the various courses to keep up with the latest developments in the paradigms of social work. The close coordination with the

welfare and developmental agencies and the alumni on a regular basis keeps it abreast with the dynamic scenario of the social sector.

The M.A. Social Work curriculum entails extensive classroom teaching in conjunction with concurrent fieldwork training throughout the two

year duration. This classroom teaching and fieldwork training is facilitated and enriched through various modules such as the following:

Modes of Learning

ORIENTATION PROGRAMME

A weeklong orientation programme is designed and conducted for every

batch with the purpose to get an acquaintance with the nature and content

of the course. Working professionals from various fields are invited to

share their experiences. A three-day communication lab strengthens the

seven-day orientation programme, where the students get an opportunity

to display and enhance their communication skills.

ASSIGNMENTS AND PRESENTATIONS

As part of internal assessment, every student has to prepare an assignment

for every paper. Every assignment presents a comprehensive study of the

particular topic where the special focus is on the concerned student's

perspective and his/her personal opinion about the topic relating to the

field experiences as much as possible. The students are also required to

give an audio-visual presentation of their assignments before the whole

class and the respective teacher.

RURAL CAMP

The department organizes an educational camp for M.A. (Social Work) first

year students in a rural area, every year as a part of the course curriculum.

The camp is the best place to sharpen the skills of rapport formation,

situation analysis and awareness generation on a range of issues in the

rural community. Every student develops an understanding of group

dynamics and power structures in a rural community. They also sharpen

their skills of group living and learn to initiate the development of

attitudes conducive for effective teamwork. This batch went to

Pattikaliyana, a village in Samalkha district of Haryana. The camp was

focussed on comprehensive theoretical inputs and practical utilisation

of PRA techniques and other skills.

INDIVIDUAL CONFERENCE

Individual conference is a guided interaction between the students and

the assigned faculty supervisor to analyze issue and problems arising out

of fieldwork experiences. It focuses on work assignment and work

schedule, analysis of client systems and problem situation. It enhances

the recording skills of the students and facilitates the evaluation of

learning level achieved.

supervision are required. These processes require active

participation of students, faculty and agencies of Field Work.

Practice Areas

Field Work training holds pivotal place in Social Work and other

helping professions. Field Practicum demands a carefully planned

effort to enable students to draw consciously on their knowledge,

values, skills and life experiences to understand a human situation

are provided opportunities to translate abstract knowledge

acquired from classroom learning into practical applications. Field

Practicum also aims at providing hands on experience to deal with a

variety of complex problems.

The Social Work profession caters to a variety of practice areas such

as education, health, livelihoods, child abuse, domestic violence,

care of the elderly, HIV/AIDS, reproductive and sexual health,

disability etc. at the levels of individual, groups and communities

and also the broader level of policy analysis and modification. The

students therefore are placed with governmental and non-
