The broad spectrum of social work in today’s globalised world offers career prospects for young, enthusiastic individuals in diverse fields in government, non-government and corporate sectors. Community development and related areas of work in developing societies like India offer several traditional and new fields of work including adult literacy, sanitation and hygiene, food and nutrition, community empowerment, media management and awareness generation. Opportunities to work in development communication have increased manifold in the last decade with the explosion of information technologies. Social workers specializing in personnel management, labour welfare, industrial relation and human resource development have now become an integral part of industries and commercial organizations. Thus, the students of social work do have employment opportunities in all these sectors. Integrated sustainable development of the people and their life-situations calls for a planned, professional, techno-scientific approach and attitude imbibed by those opting to work in the allied fields. Needless to say, an institution committed to producing trained, skilled human resources with the right approach and attitude easily becomes a torchbearer showing the path of excellence in career choices and meaningful work. We believe in creating productive workforce for the over-all development of the society. Integrating professionalism with human commitment is our cherished goal. PARTNERSHIP & LINKAGES
OUR APPROACH CRD strives to impart education with a mission so as to enable the students to play a critical role in the development of the society and people’s empowerment. To achieve this cherished goal, we have constantly been adopting novel and innovative methods for creating the right orientation and motivation in our students for the task. Proper alignment and co-ordination between the classroom teachings and field application is given topmost emphasis. Regular field visits and exposure to the life-situations at the grassroots are undertaken to enable the students to develop the aptitude, temperament and understanding and to prepare them to work as social change agents after the completion of their courses. Interactions and interfaces between the students and eminent social workers are organised regularly for mutual knowledge and experience sharing. Deliberations on pressing socio-economic and cultural issues in seminars and workshops have become a regular feature at the centre. The students get ample opportunities to participate in seminars, workshops and field activities. They are given assignments on development issues. Their involvement in the activities taken up by the Action and Research Wing of the Center invariably gives them practical insight into socio-economic issues and problems.
