IPER has felt for a long time the need of holding a training course on social work and management which would meet the needs of the oraganisations specially engaged in developmental work that urgently require the services of such people. It thus started the IPER College of Training and Research. A course on Diploma IN SOCIAL WORK AND MANAGEMENT (DISWAM) was developed in consultation with different similar courses both national and international. It is a post-graduate course of one year’s duration divided into two semesters. There is plan to open an evening session too of this Course in a very near future. The course is affiliated to Kalyani University as a post-graduate course.
