“Society speaks through its people, its traditions, and its constant evolution—and sociology teaches us how to listen.”

The Department of Sociology & Social Work has evolved as a dynamic academic unit committed to understanding and addressing the complexities of society through both theoretical insight and practical engagement. Initially established in 2014 as the Department of Social Work and later renamed as Department of Sociology & Social work. It began with the Master of Social Work (MSW) programme aimed at training professional social workers equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values required for effective social intervention. Expanding its academic horizon, the Department introduced the M.A. Sociology programme from the academic session 2025–2026 to foster critical sociological inquiry and deeper engagement with contemporary social realities. The first batch of the M.A. Sociology started with enrollment of 27 students.

I am delighted to introduce the Department of Sociology & Social Work, CBLU (formerly known as the Department of Social Work). Since its establishment in 2014, the department has made significant strides in promoting academic excellence and meaningful community engagement, particularly in addressing social issues in the nearby villages of Bhiwani town. The department initially began with the Master of Social Work (MSW) programme, with an intake capacity of 30 students. The programme is distinguished by its strong Field Work Practicum component, which provides students with experiential learning opportunities and equips them with essential knowledge, skills, and professional values required for effective social work practice. In response to evolving academic and societal needs, the department has expanded its academic offerings with the introduction of the M.A. Sociology programme from the academic session 2025–26. This programme aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of society, culture, and social dynamics, fostering critical thinking and research aptitude among students.

Both programmes emphasize holistic development through academic learning, field exposure, training programmes, webinars, seminars, and conferences. These platforms enable students to build strong professional networks with alumni, practitioners, and organizations, thereby enhancing their career prospects. In today’s rapidly changing social landscape, the relevance and scope of sociology and social work have expanded considerably. Our graduates are well-prepared to take on diverse professional roles such as Community Mobiliser, Project Coordinator, Counsellor, Medical Social Worker, Researcher, Labour Welfare Officer, Monitoring and Evaluation Officer, Social Welfare Officer, Policy Makers , Development Practitioners etc, contributing meaningfully to social development and transformation. The Department remains committed to nurturing socially responsible professionals and scholars who can critically engage with contemporary social issues and work towards building an inclusive and equitable society.
