Introduction
The Department of Social Work is established in 1995 and belongs to the Faculty of Arts and Social
Sciences. Department offers post graduate programme in Social work (MSW). The Social Work
programme offers interdisciplinary academic and research possibilities that critically opens up local
and global discourses on health, development and marginalization, gender, and family, identity,
rights and justice. The field practicum component, which is an integral part of the MSW curriculum,
offers opportunities for the students to spend time in close proximity with communities, NGOS and
various social movements. Such close association lays the foundation for critical and alternative
perspectives on one‘s own society. The course thus will provide the students with strong theoretical
underpinnings and expose them to the dynamics and complexities of the social world.

The Social Work discipline and profession aims at planning and implementation of social policies,
services and programmes needed to meet basic human needs and to support the development of
human capacities and abilities. It facilitates change (1) within the individual in relation to his/her
social environment; (2) of the social environment in its effect upon the individual; (3) of both the
individual and social environment in their interaction. The ultimate aim of social work is to promote
or restore a mutually beneficial interaction ‗inter‘, ‗intra‘ individual, and society in order to improve
the quality of life for everyone.

The social work training and profession, despite having an existence of more than seventy five years
in the country has progressed at snail‘s pace. It is still a yet to be developed profession and only very
little effort has been made to make it indigenous or Indian. The profession still holds the theoretical
and practical foundations of the west and has not made appropriate Indian adaptations. The picture is
same in the context of Kerala and people consider it an alien profession. Hence an effort to
acculturate and adapt the modern professional concepts and practices of social work to be conversant
with the diverse socio-cultural and political realities of South Asia is a long pending plea and needs a
pioneering initiation and continuous effort. At Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit we are
committed to nurturing an ever evolving discipline which is sensitive to the indigenous knowledge
production, and at the same time open to the global initiatives in this area.

The Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit was initiated and formed for the preservation and
promotion of social and cultural heritage of India in general and Kerala in specific. The
methodological approach was Interdisciplinary collaboration and indigenization of the traditional
and modern theoretical and academic discourses in knowledge generation and dissemination for the
betterment of the society. The sociological and geopolitical ecology around the University is of a

4
rural village inhabited by the middle and working class people. The Department makes use of all
opportunities in engaging various extension activities in and around the campus. The post graduate
programme offered by the Department (MSW) is recognized by the social work accreditation
councils of UK, USA, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Our students get their recognitions and
accreditations in these countries on the basis of the verification of the course modules they have
done in the University and the field practicum they have done here in the programmes. There are a
number of students who have got their professional career in social work in these countries and some
of them also pursue their higher education programmes on the basis of the PG programmes offered
by our department.

Field Practicum - I is composed of three segments

1. Community Camp
2. Observation visits of social work organizations
3. Community Field work

COMMUNITY CAMP PROCEDURE

OBJECTIVES

A community camp will be arranged in the first semester. Usually there is a tendency to treat
theory and practice or actual social situation and classroom learnings as disconnected separate
entities. Community camp will be the first attempt by the department to help the students to
bridge this gap and hence should be carefully incorporated into the curriculum. Care should be
taken to organize community camp in such a way as to enhance the insights of the students in the
foundational/core courses of social science concepts, Social analysis – India and Kerala society

Scope of the camp

34
  The work undertaken in the camp can range from participating in a reconstruction work,
rehabilitation projects, in campaigns, social action projects to research projects. The camp
can also be conducted in remote rural areas, urban slums, with populations undergoing
traumatic experiences, in spaces for differentially enabled people etc.
 It provides the students with an opportunity to work with diverse populations in terms of
ethnicity, socio economic status so as to enable the students to have greater respect for
diversity and sensitivity towards inequality and injustice.
 The work undertaken in the community should not be inconsiderate of the environmental
balances, gender equality, professional and ethical values of social work.
 The camp would be organized in such a manner as to help the students have maximum
experience in community living an hence should be encouraged to live with the community
members as much as possible without encroaching upon their cultural specificities.
 The camp also provides the students an opportunity to work and live together as a team and
this will be the first in a series of activities undertaken by them in the two your course work.
 Student is considered as adult learner and hence will be having, in consultation with the
faculty supervisor, the full responsibility in planning and executing the objectives of the
camp and ensuring that those objectives are met.
 Students are expected to submit a detailed record of the camp activities.

Modus Operandi of the camp

A committee consisting of elected representative of first semester students and supervisory
teacher together will decide upon the venue of the camp and the work to be undertaken keeping
in sight the objectives of the camp. Financial requirements exceeding the amount sanctioned by
the university should be met by the students, which can also be raised through community
participation. The supervisory teachers and camp coordinators can plan daily routine and day
leaders of the camp. Care should be taken to see to it that every student in the batch had got an
opportunity to share and give leadership in most of the camp activities. Mode of evaluating the
camp can be flexible and be finalized by the concerned department council in accordance with
the nature of the camp.

Accompanying faculty members shall be eligible for TA, DA as per the university rules. They
should also get compensatory leave for the holidays during the programme.

The University may provide a share (preferably 50 percent) of the expenses of the camp as a
grant from the University. The rest of the financial requirement shall be raised by the students

35
 from themselves and community participation in forms of money and kind. The students under
the supervision of the teacher in charge will maintain a proper and meticulous accounting. The
final statement of accounts will be presented in the department for the final settlement of the
camp programme.

Participation in the camp is compulsory. If for some genuine health reason, a student is
unable to participate in the camp, he/she will have to compensate for the absence, for an equivalent
period, with additional fieldwork in the agency in which he/she is placed for concurrent fieldwork.
The compensation should be completed within that semester itself, failing which s/he will have to
discontinue the course and rejoin with the next semester batch. This programme will be a component
of the First Semester Field Work Programme. Camp will be of ten-days duration.

Observation visits

Visits to different organizations/ agencies working in the government sectors are arranged
in the first semester. These visits aim to expose the students to the organizations working in various settings
with various target groups. It helps students to get an idea of the existing modes of social welfare/work
interventions and practice, the elements of professionalism, the issues and problems involved. The settings
broadly includes:-

1. Prisons
2. Special Schools
3. Old age homes
4. Adoption Centers/Agencies
5. Mental Health care Institution
6. Rehabilitation Centers
7. Sexual Health Intervention projects
8. Entrepreneurship Development /Training Centers
9. Agencies/ Panchayath successfully implementing community department programmes
10. Agencies addressing environmental issues
11. Other agencies, the Department finds suitable for the Social Work Students.

Community Field Work

In the first semester the students will be placed in the near by community either independently or in
collaboration with a development agency (Governmental or Non Governmental) after their

36
observation visits and Community camp. The community field work in the 1st semester aims to
expose the students to the rural and urban communities of our state. In this process they also get an
understanding of the community life, their culture, practices, tradition, needs, problems etc. It
provides an opportunity to learn to build rapport with people in community and to improve
communication skills, analytical skills, observation etc.
