Masters in Social Work

Mizoram University in the current Scenario has changed immensely since the recent move of the main administration to its permanent campus at Tanhril . The University is now well consolidated in its main campus however, the Sports Cell, the Medical Clinic and Central Library as well as a few remaining academic Departments, continue to function in Aizawl and will be moved to the permanent campus shortly.

The course of Social Work was initiated under NEHU( Mizoram Campus)in July 1990. Dr. Bharti Sharma was the Reader and Founder- Head of the Department. It was however, only on the formation of the full-fledged Mizoram University that the Master's Programme in Social Work was started. The MSW course commenced on 1st August 2002.
