HoD Message

“Empowering Lives, Transforming Society: A Commitment to Excellence in Social Work” Welcome to the Department of Social Work at Kristu Jayanti (Deemed to be) University, Bengaluru. We are a community dedicated to academic rigour, compassionate service, and the pursuit of social justice. In today’s complex global landscape, social work is more than a profession—it is a calling to be a catalyst for systemic change. Our curriculum seamlessly integrates theoretical foundations with extensive field-based learning. Through our Social Work Lab, concurrent placements, and rural camps, students engage directly with diverse populations in urban, corporate, and healthcare settings. Following the "KJU Way" of education, we emphasise holistic development. By participating in research, international seminars, and outreach, our students build the empathy and resilience required for impactful practice. Our expert faculty serve as mentors, guiding each student. We stay at the forefront of the field by integrating modern methodologies like Data Analytics and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into our pedagogy. Our robust network of NGOs, hospitals, and corporate partners ensures our graduates are both "industry-ready" and "society-ready." We invite the prospective students to join us in this mission. Together, let us strive for excellence and uphold the dignity of every individual. At Kristu Jayanti, we don’t just teach Social Work; we live it.
