The Department of Social Work at Government Degree College, Baramulla offers Social work as a subject at under-graduate level which was introduced in the year 2016 in order to fulfil the growing demand of students to develop into social work professionals. The department is working hard to realize the dream to make social work as one of the leading subjects in the arena of helping professions.

We aim to develop thinking individuals that understand and strive to improve the lives of people in the society. This discipline helps to develop skills among students which include communication, problem solving, empathy, team work and time management.
