Message from the Head of the Department

Abhiyan KC

Head of the Department

Social work is a profession and a scientific discipline that promotes social change and plays a dynamic role in development efforts and in the fight against poverty and social exclusion. By combining theory, research and practice, the profession is in a position to conceptualize tailor-made instruments to respond to the needs of vulnerable groups and for the well-being of the people.

With the establishment of 'masters program in Social Work’ T.U – a major milestone has been achieved to provide a platform and an Internet-based resource for social work and social development stakeholders which is the first of its kind in the region.

DSW's website will be a hub for social work research and innovative ideas in the Nepali Community and beyond. I am convinced that DSWTU will turn out to be an ideal partner for policy makers, development planners, higher education institutions, NGOs and international stakeholders for applied social research projects, consultation services and capacity building initiatives. With its excellent network of social work training and research institutions, DSWTU is able to operate at a broad geographical level in South Asia.

I wish DSW success and hope that its efforts will contribute to societies where social justice, the realization of human rights and a good life for all people become reality.
