Viswass College of Social Work

VISWASS College of Social Work is the outcome of a quest to provide contemporary and socially relevant education to the youth who aspire to become the change agents of the society. Needless to mention, though India is growing economically faster than many developing countries, the real India lives in villages and lag far behind in the development race, thereby, causing ubiquitous inequity wide spread disparities in the socioeconomic opportunities .Despite having Government and Non-government efforts for promotion of equity and social justice since more than sixty years, the actual picture on the ground has not reflected to the level of minimum expectation. The reasons are many. Amongst others, the cross cutting issue is acute shortage of professionally trained and equipped human resources who can facilitate the process of promoting equity and harnessing peoples potential in an effective manner. Like many institutions in the country, VISWASS has emerged to contribute meaningfully in preparing development professionals who can work even in the so called most difficult areas and terrain of the country. Since its inception in 2004, the institute has been giving special emphasis to promote issues like people centric development into the mainstream of democratic governance through its social science curriculum. It is the leading Social Work Institute in the state of Odisha and aspiring to become one in India and South Asia.
