Empowering individuals and communities through education and outreach.
The Department has established and continued with its two field action programmes, which have been established over the years to demonstrate the relevance of social work intervention in dealing with social issues and problems. They have functioned as demonstration cum extension projects for the Department and have enabled the Department to strengthen its learning-practice engagements. One such field action programme is the Child Guidance Centre, which was instituted in the year 1971 and which later came to be known as the Centre for Child and Adolescent Wellbeing. Over the many years of its functioning, the Centre has only grown from strength to strength. The Department also established a community work-oriented centre called the Gram Mahila Kendra in Burari community in the year 1988. Subsequently this Centre came to be known as the Centre for Community Development and Action. Over the many years of its existence, this Centre has rendered exemplary community development services, based on participatory community action.
