The broad focus of the programme corresponds to three inter-related areas: It (i) provides a strong theoretical underpinning on criminology, criminal justice system and human rights; (ii) encourages a critical examination of crime around issues such as gender-based violence, atrocities against dalits, de-notified tribes and socially stigmatised communities; it dwells upon areas related to juvenile justice and crime among youth; and (iii) lays the foundation towards a critical understanding of and scope for engagement with the criminal justice agencies and current issues such as policing, prison management, custodial justice, human rights violations, correctional agencies, alternative justice systems and rehabilitation. During the course of their study, students of Criminology and Justice are exposed to fieldwork settings such as prisons, police stations, courts, legal services authorities, juvenile justice system, women's and children's institutions, beggars' homes, and work with a range of marginalised communities such as under trial prisoners, children of prisoners, trafficked victims, women victims of violence, victims of child abuse, youth offenders, children in conflict with law, homeless populations, etc. with a focus on arranging socio-legal services to strengthen the intersecting structures within which individuals processed /affected by the criminal justice system, the criminal justice officials, and social workers interact.

M. A. SOCIAL WORK IN COMMUNITY ORGANISATION AND DEVELOPMENT PRACTICE BATCH PROFILES

Communities are at critical crossroads across the Global South. In a technology and market-driven process of development, the expanse of the marginalised and deprived sections of communities has increased. Those who have been historically disadvantaged, dispossessed of land, appropriate skills, quality education and/or other resources are not able to benefit from the fruits of this “progress” and“development”. A critical analysis of linkages between of processes of marginalised and collective deprivation with macro processes of development and its trajectories has become very significant for an informed practice with communities. Today, development practitioners require multiple perspectives to analyse and engage with present day complex realities of life and livelihoods. This necessitates capacity enhancement and development of newer strategies to serve the interests of disadvantaged populations. Further, understanding local situations and working with communities to address key concerns is as critical today as being able to see national and international connections of these very concerns in the globalising world.

M.A. Social Work in Community Organisation and Development Practice (CODP) aims to blend a critical socio-political analysis of marginalities of communities with appropriate strategies and approaches in addressing the same. This program is aimed at preparation of a cadre of development practitioners who could effectively respond to the contemporary concerns of marginalised communities and to promote a people centred development process. The curriculum of CODP brings synergy across various components such as course work, field work and social research spread across four semesters. Graduates of M.A. Social Work in CODP find meaning in working in a range of rural and urban settings- with various government as well as non-governmental development organisation and projects, people's organisation and movement, trade unions and corporate social responsibility initiatives. Some would also engage in self- initiated work in areas or on issues that require innovative approaches and strategies as well as contribute to policy practice and advocacy.

M.A SOCIAL WORK IN DISABILITY STUDIES AND ACTION BATCH PROFILES

The M.A. Programme of Social Work in Disability Studies and Action (DSA) is recognized by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI), an autonomous central organization under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. All students of DSA are registered practitioner under RCI. In field of disability, rehabilitation as a comprehensive social framework one is engaged at Individual, groups, families, community, institutions working at organised and unorganised sectors with rural realities and other systems of society. The broader aim of the course is to expand its boundaries from bio-psycho-social contexts to human rights framework for just society and towards creating more enabling inclusive environments. It is about the removal of physical and attitudinal barriers in mind-sets of people & the society at large to facilitate inclusion. Rehabilitation, therefore, includes not only practicing with persons with disability, but also working with families, community as a whole for creating more enabling environments. The eclectic mix of students from various educational background and work experiences adds new perspectives and expands knowledge on various issues pertaining to disability and adds value to multidisciplinary practices in the field.

The focus of this academic discipline is on rights of persons with disabilities, equalization of opportunities and their integration in mainstream society thus addressing the pervasive discrimination towards people with disability in society. It endeavours to explore legal and social policy issues that impact people with disability in more depth and the role of community activism in social change. Along with working with the individuals, the students are trained to engage in understanding different government schemes on disability , national programmes, accessibility, community based rehabilitation, community education, development and planning of livelihood options, networking, planning for change by writing project proposals and understanding public policy as well as legislative reforms and advocacy for social justice and action.

The program aims to develop cadre of professionals to approach their work while working in tandem with people, authorities, government officials, panchayat and grass root level and various other stakeholders with the human strengths and related perspectives using social discourse and anti-oppressive and empowerment based partnership practices. This program envisages the students with skills of performing the multiple roles in various sites such as development and social worker, activist, educator, advocate, and community based rehabilitation worker and researcher.

M.A SOCIAL WORK IN DALIT AND TRIBAL STUDIES AND ACTION BATCH PROFILES

Dalit and Tribal Studies and Action is a programme of the School of Social Work in the Institute. It is an intense, theoretically engaging academic programme premised within the principles of justice and pedagogy of Dalit and Tribal Social Work theory and practice.

The programme is the first of its kind in the world, providing students with wide theoretical and field exposures situated within the lived and shared experiences of Dalits in South Asia and Adivasis from India and other regions of the world. The strength of the programme lies in its pragmatic curricular logic built on the convergence between theory and practice. The students are academically motivated in understanding and working within Indian structural realities from the lived experiences of Dalits and Tribal/Adivasis.

Apart from the overall interdisciplinary orientation of the Institute and Social Work Education, our students are equipped to understand and work in specific conditions of Caste and Tribal/Adivasis. In addition to training on basic core skills of social work practice in working with Individuals, Groups, Communities and Organizations, the students possess advance skills for structural analysis, policy and practice, social and economic empowerment of people in situations of displacement and social discrimination.

The recent record of the fieldwork and research engagements indicates that students have taken up various challenging and important works relating to welfare, development, protection and empowerment in specific conditions of displacements; issues of land and forest rights in scheduled and tribal areas; livelihood, poverty, malnutrition and migration; Government's social development policies and practice, education for Schedule Caste and Scheduled Tribe children; women issues and empowerment; democratic and citizenship rights, democratization process and local self governance in the rural areas and villages.

M.A. SOCIAL WORK IN MENTAL HEALTH BATCH PROFILES

With rapid social change and urbanization, there are several vulnerable groups whose mental health concerns need urgent attention. In order to be able to comprehend the mental health concerns of these groups, it is vital to move beyond our thinking in the mental health sector and conceptualise training programmes as well as service models that integrate the biological, psychological, and interpersonal with the social and the cultural. Thus, a training/teaching programme that combines ideas of social justice and empowerment along with the knowledge and skills to understand individual and interpersonal distress and problems is a need of the hour. This postgraduate programme with a foundation in social work and an incremental training in perspectives and skills in mental health aims to fill this gap. This programme equips students to work in various capacities at government and non-governmental settings.

1. Pedagogy of the course involves the following: 2. Group presentations based on existing literature and policy 3. Policy analysis and discussion 4. Hospital visits as part of Seminar in Clinical Social Work 5. Workshops for Therapeutic Counselling Skills

Fieldwork both in rural and urban setting which allows students exposure in a variety of mental health care settings from community mental health to clinical set ups.

Research which incorporates both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to generate a body of knowledge that is as close to the picture of vulnerable populations and their experiences in terms of poverty, mental illness, disability and human rights violations.

M.A. SOCIAL WORK IN PUBLIC HEALTH BATCH PROFILES

Twenty first century health issues are complex and multidimensional, requiring innovative responses across professionals at all levels of society. The M.A. Social Work in Public Health offered by the Centre for Health and Mental Health, School of Social Work aims to address the multifaceted dimensions of health in an ever changing context and develop skills among social work professionals to analyse health issues from a micro, meso, and macro contexts as well as work towards protecting health as a human right. This programme seeks to address the limited institutional capacity in India for strengthening training, research, and policy development in the area of health. The course draws from both social work and public health theories, research, and practice. Public health social workers draw on the rich traditions and complementary methods of the two fields of social work and public health to enhance effectiveness and promote health. Thus, given their professional skill set, they are best placed to design, implement, and manage those aspects of community health which requires involvement with the community and groups and engagement with the health system particularly in its interface with people/users. Social workers with a specialized knowledge of Public health are also well placed to design, implement and manage larger and more complex interventions in government institutions, non-government organisations, hospitals and research-based organizations. They gain competence to work on any health related issues and to work with both the voluntary sector and the state run programs. Field Engagements: The field engagements under the program of Social Work in Public Health has trained professionals not only in aspects of health issues but also has enabled them to understand public health from a development perspective. This perspective helps the students to appreciate the linkages between poverty, marginalization, rurality, violence, conflict, gender, and public health as well as well-being. The fieldwork component in the program has focused on both urban and rural public health. Students trained in M.A. S.W. in Public Health can be integrated in the state run National and District Public Health Programs as well as NGO run Public Health services for models of intervention, advocacy, and research programs.

M.A. SOCIAL WORK IN WOMEN CENTERED PRACTICE BATCH PROFILES

The MA Social Work in Women Centered Practice programme is geared towards understanding women and their varied realities and issues - particularly their condition, position and status and their relationship with men, resources and power in society. The focus on looking at women's discourse has been a relatively new and now well established tradition within social sciences. Within social work, the purpose is to look at and develop practice models and trajectories in the global and indigenous contexts with women as the core. To develop women's agency and citizenship the curriculum focuses on broad areas of feminist practice, engendering justice and engendering development discourse within domains such as work and education. It has introduced the students to the varied aspects of theory and reality and the dialectic between the two. The programme thus aims to prepare and equip the new learners/graduates to directly work with people and, women in particular, in their communities, movements and campaigns; in organisations initiated by the civil society and the state; with issues and concerns of oppressive social structures, development and state at local, national and international level, and forums; within systems and institutions of governance and the state performing roles of social workers, activists, coordinators, managers, researchers and educators.

Pedagogy of the course involves the following: 1. Learning through discussions 2. Extensive reading and critical reflections 3. Presentation and Communication 4. Skill-building activities: These largely involve activities such as sessions on gender analysis frameworks, leadership skills, feminist counseling and so on. 5. Guest lectures 6. Workshops: Workshops on certain skills and topics are held such as sexuality, SPSS, Atlas.T and so on by resource persons 7. Research: Curiosity, enquiry and the desire for change are the most basic qualities of a social worker. These are realized and enhanced through feminist epistemological enquiries. Research engagement is phased, with training and learning in each phase. Feminist research methods, along with various other methodologies are learnt and applied. Data analysis software like SPSS and Atlas TI are also taught as a part of the curriculum 8. Rural Practicum: Rural practicum helps students to engage with an ethnographic perspective to gain multifaceted view of women's lives and realities. 9. Field Engagement: It comprises of institutional visits, concurrent field placement for 3 semesters, rural practicum and Block placement. It gives the students an opportunity to engage with a variety of areas of social work like violence against women, women and work, rural and tribal issues of women, women in institutional settings, women and law, and Corporate Social Responsibility. Concurrent Fieldwork compliments class room learning.

Placement Brochure 2015 - 2017 126 Women as a category of analysis have increasingly been studied to evolve an understanding of their condition, position and status and their relationship with men, resources and power in society. With the evolution of gender studies and a critical understanding of women's position, a large body of knowledge is now increasingly available to understand the issues, as well as for developing effective interventions at different levels. Women continue to remain marginalised and have to be studied and addressed as a separate vulnerable group. Within social work epistemology and praxis, there is, thus, an imperative to include the realities of women—in particular women-centred social work. This would mean an understanding of feminist theorisations, praxis models, praxis trajectories in the global and indigenous contexts and developing appropriate skills for intervention at multiple levels. The M.A. Social Work in Woman-Centred Practice endeavours to engage learners to critically understand and examine women's position in society from diverse feminist theoretical frameworks, so as to develop judicious skills of intervention and to develop women's agency and citizenship. The programme aims to prepare and equip its graduates to directly work with people — women in particular — in their communities, movements and campaigns; in organisations initiated by civil society and the state; with issues and concerns of oppressive social structures, development and state at the local, national and international level; within systems and institutions of governance and the state. The programme envisages its graduates performing the multiple roles of social worker, activist, design and implement programmes, coordinator, researcher and educator.
