INTRODUCTION

The Department of Social Work at Don Bosco College, Itanagar, was established in the year 2018. It is the first institution in the state to offer the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program under Rajiv Gandhi University (RGU). The department emphasizes participatory, inclusive, and sustainable development through both academic instruction and field-based practices. Its vision is to nurture BSW students into confident, competent, and passionate change-makers. The department’s mission is centered on experiential learning, integrating theoretical knowledge with personalized mentoring, supervised fieldwork, and holistic student development.

Key Areas of Focus:

  1. Teaching: The department adopts a holistic approach, integrating academic learning with the development of behavioral and life skills. Through lectures, seminars, workshops, and experiential activities, students gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills essential for social work practice.
  2. Practice: Practical learning is emphasized through activities like fieldwork, rural immersion camps, and workshops. These initiatives enable students to apply theoretical knowledge, interact with diverse communities, and develop problem-solving and decision-making skills.
  3. Research Project: Research is a vital component of the department’s curriculum. Students undertake dissertations and empirical studies, gaining critical thinking and data analysis skills. This fosters their academic growth and contributes to advancements in social work knowledge.
  4. Field Action Projects: Students engage in collaborative projects with communities, designing and implementing interventions and evaluating their outcomes. These projects develop leadership, project management, and advocacy skills while promoting community well-being and entrepreneurial growth.

Through its integrated focus on teaching, practice, research, and field action, the department prepares students to become skilled, compassionate, and socially conscious professionals.
