HoD Message

Welcome to the Department of Social Work at Kristu Jayanti (Deemed to be) University, Bengaluru.

Social work is a profound commitment to human dignity, justice and lasting change. The Department cultivates compassionate leadership that listens with empathy, acts with integrity, and stands in solidarity with communities seeking wellbeing.

Our programme combines rigorous theory with meaningful practice. Through the Social Work Lab, concurrent placements, rural immersion camps and partnerships across urban, corporate and healthcare settings, engagement with diverse populations is central to our approach. True to the “KJU Way,” we emphasise holistic growth—ethical clarity, resilience, reflective practice and a spirit of service.

Our experienced faculty offer mentorship that encourages critical inquiry, purposeful research, and evidence-based practice. Contemporary methods such as data analytics and alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals strengthen the impact of our interventions. Strong links with NGOs, hospitals and corporate partners ensure relevance and responsiveness to evolving social needs.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to empowering lives, transforming society, and upholding the dignity of every person. At Kristu Jayanti, Social Work is not merely taught—it is lived.
