Field Work
Field Work is an integral part of the total programme of training in Social Work. It consists of practicing social work methods under the guidance of Professional Social Workers in the selected field. Such placements provide an opportunity to the students to apply theory to practice and gain first hand experience.

"The rational of Concurrent Field Work is to provide the student immediate situation to apply class room learning in the field and to develop skills over a period of the academic year, as well as recognize the realities of practice in the real world and finally to provide a feed back for discussion and problem solving in the class room. The integrative element between class and field is provided by the faculty in regularly scheduled periodical field conferences utilizing the students' field record." [II UGC Review Committee Report]
