Our students engage with experiential learning and benefit from our numerous collaborations with educational institutions worldwide, Government, and Non-government organizations.
Our mission is to nurture our students to enable them to become responsible citizens with a global perspective through critical academic and field engagements. This enables them to inculcate 21st-century skills and contribute towards social change and sustainable development. This mission is of utmost importance today as we work with learners in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and unpredictable environment.
The disciplines of Sociology and Social Work provide critical insights into social dynamics, address social injustices, promote social change, inform policy and practice, enhance well-being, and tackle global challenges. These disciplines provide valuable perspectives, knowledge, and skills to navigate and address the complex social challenges of our time to build a more equitable and inclusive society for all.
