Printed material is our backbone. Our study material is prepared by teams of experts keeping in
view the interest of the learner group. Each Course has a Course Development Committee
headed by the Vice-Chancellor and other distinguished academics and professionals involved in the
course preparation. The course material is written in such a manner that the students can study it by
themselves with a little assistance from our Counsellors at the Study Centres. Further, text books and
reference books are available in the libraries attached to the Study Centres and Regional Centres.
Therefore, students will have no need for any cheap or condensed guides for following courses of
IGNOU. In fact these may harm them. Hence, the University strongly advised the students not to
take recourse to such type of guides.
Please keep this Programme Guide safely till you

complete the Programme. You will need to consult it
throughout the duration of the Programme.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
‘‘The University sends study materials and assignments, wherever prescribed, to the students by

shall not be held responsible for that.’’
‘‘In case a student wants to have assignments, he/she can obtain a copy of the same from the Study
Centre or Regional Centre or may download it from the IGNOU website - www.ignou.ac.in’’

Note: Even if the university does not send any communication for re-registration in IInd year &
IIIrd year, you are advised to make use of the Course Registration form printed in this
programme guide.
5.1 How to Choose Courses?

We have explained above the number of credits to be obtained in various categories of courses, viz. Foundation
and Elective courses. We discuss below the choices available in all these groups.
Foundation Courses
All the foundation courses of 24 credits are compulsory. You might have indicated your choice for the foundation
courses. In first year you have to opt foundation courses of 16 credits only.
1. BSHF-101 8 Credit
2. FEG-1 or FHD-2 4 Credits
3. FEG-2 or BHDF-101 or/any one of the Modern Indian Language (MIL) 4 Credits
4. The balance 8 credits foundation course FST-1 would be available in IInd Year.
If you want to make any change in the choice of MIL number 3 stated above, you can do it within one
month of the receipt of study material according to the procedure explained under section 9 of this
programme guide.
5.2 How to Decide Your Time Schedule?

The University offers a lot of flexibility and openness in the courses and duration for the completion of
programmes. You should take full advantage of this flexibility. As indicated earlier you can complete this
programme in 3 year if you clear 32 credits of courses every year. If you are not able to complete it within
this period you can take a maximum of 6 years to complete it. It would be better if you plan it in a
systematic way. For first three years you will receive study material and assignments according to your
options but it is upto you to decide which courses you will complete in a particular year. Completion of a
course would involve studying the course, completing the assignments and appearing in term end examination.
If you are busy elsewhere and not able to fully devote yourself to the programme, you should fix your
targets every year. If you feel that instead of 32 credits you would do only 24 or 16 credits plan it from the
beginning of the year, study only these courses, do the assignments for them and appear for term end
examination in these courses. Carry over the rest to next year. Again next year, decide your goals for
that year. Whenever you decided to do the previous year’s course ask for fresh assignments in
the month of November/December from Jt. Registrar, Material Production and Distribution
Division at the Headquarters in the prescribed forms printed in this programme guide, and
submit them according to the schedule and appear in the term end examination. By a proper
planning every year, you can complete this programme according to your convenience. As mentioned
earlier, completion of field work practicum of previous year is mandatory for appearing in second and third
year Term-End Examination respectively.

6. FEE STRUCTURE AND SCHEDULE OF PAYMENT
The University will keep changing the see from time to time and one will have to find out the details from
the study centre/regional centre. Programme fee is to be paid in lump sum at the time of registration along
with the filled in application form. You have to pay programme fee three times i.e., Ist year, 2nd year and
3rd year as per the schedule without waiting for any communication from the university. For the first year
you have already paid the fee at the time of admission. For second and third year, concerned Regional
Directors will sent you Course Registration Form along with proper guidelines in the month of July. If you

them when needed.
The programme fee should be paid only by means of demand draft drawn in favour of IGNOU and

Timely payment of programme fees is your responsibility. You are expected to remit fee as early as
possible without waiting for the last date. Late payments will not be entertained. In case you fail to remit
the fee as per above schedule you will have to wait for next cycle of admission after a year. Non-payment
of fee results in discontinuation of the despatch of study material. Such students will not be permitted to
write the examinations and their admission may be cancelled. In case any student willfully appears in an
examination without proper registration for a course, disciplinary action shall be taken against him as per
rules of the University. Fee once paid is not refundable.
7. MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION
The Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work is offered by the university through the medium of both Hindi and
English. You have to give your option for the medium of instruction. Printed course material and
assignments are sent to you in the medium of your option. Similarly, you have to submit the assignments
and attempt the term-end examinations in the language you have opted for. Audio-Video programmes and
counselling are also provided through the medium you prefer.
8. INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEM
The methodology of instruction in this University is different from that in the conventional universities. The
Open University System is more learner-oriented, and the student is an active participant in the teaching-
learning process. Most of the instruction is imparted through distance rather than face-to-face communication.
The University follows a multi-media approach for instruction. It comprises:
 self-instructional print material
 audio and video-cassettes
 audio-video programmes transmitted through Doordarshan and Radio
 Teleconferencing
 face-to-face counselling at Study Centres by academic counsellors
11
 gyan darshan channel
 assignments
 practicals
8.1 Print Material

Print material is the primary form of instructional material, although there will be a few audio-video-programmes
and counselling sessions. Therefore, you have to concentrate mainly on the printed materials that we send you
periodically. The printed material would be sufficient to write assignment responses and prepare for the term
end examinations.
How to use Print Material
The print material prepared by the University is self instructional in nature. Each course has been divided into
a number of Blocks, generally 6 to 8 Blocks for an 8 credit course and 4 or 5 Blocks for a 4 credit course.
Each Block consists of a number of Units (lessons). Normally, all the Units covered in one Block have a
thematic unity. The first page of each Block indicates the contents of each Block i.e., the number and titles of
the Units covered in that Block. This is followed by a brief introduction to the Block. This Block introduction
explains the total coverage of the Block as a whole as well as the coverage of each Unit in that Block.
Each Unit is structured to facilitate self study for you. The section on Objectives briefly states what we
expect you to attain when you have completed the Unit. In Introduction, there is an attempt to forge a link
with the topics of the previous Units and the topic to be covered in the present Unit. This is followed by the
main body of the Unit, which is divided into various sections and subsections. In the main body there are a few
self-check exercises under the caption Check Your Progress. Enough space is given for you to write your
answers to the questions set in the self-check exercises. Answers to these exercises are given in the section
Answers to Check Your Progress Exercises at the end of the Unit.
The section Let Us Sum Up summarises what has been said in the whole Unit. This summary enables you
to recall the main points covered in the Unit. To facilitate comprehension, important words/terms covered in
the Unit are explained in the section Key Words. Some books for additional reading are suggested in the
section Further Readings and References. For your reference purpose some of these books may be
available in the study centre. The section Terminal Questions/Exercises is intended to give you an idea about
the nature of question that may be asked in term end examinations. These question and Check Your Progress
Exercises are for your practice only, and you should not submit answers to these questions to the
University for assessment.
Read the Units carefully and note down the important points. You can use the space in the margin of the
printed pages for making notes and writing your comments. While reading the Units mark the words that you
do not fully understand. Look for the meaning of such words under the section Key Words or in a dictionary.
Read the Unit again and again until you have understood the point. You may also try to find it in earlier Units
as it may be explained there. However, if you still do not understand something, consult your counsellor during
the face-to-face sessions at the Study Centre for clarification.
Try to answer ‘Check Your Progress’ questions. These exercises will help you to reinforce the information/
knowledge you gain through your first reading of the text. Proper comprehension of the units and the points/
notes made by you while reading through the Units would help you in answering the Check Your Progress
Exercises given in the Units. Once you have written the answer in the blank space provided for each question,
you can compare your answers with the answers given in the section ‘Answers to Check Your Progress
Exercises’.
12
8.2 Audio-Video Material
In addition to the print material, audio and video tapes have been prepared for each course. The audio-
video material is supplementary to the printed material. Hence, we advise you to make use of it, as that
will help you to understand the subject better. The students can take all information regarding Doordarshan
programme through sending emails : gyandarshan@ignou.ac.in, gyanvani@ignou.ac.in. All the programme
details can be taken out from IGNOU website i.e. www.ignou.ac.in. The information will also be available
at your regional and study centres. The schedule of transmission is communicated to you through
the IGNOU Newsletter.
Audio programmes are broadcast in some select states also through Radio stations. Information about
these would be available at your Regional Centre.
The telecast schedule for transmission of programmes through Gyan Darshan is communicated through
a monthly booklet. Audio-video material will not be supplied individually but will be made available to you
at the Study Centres. You can watch these programmes during counselling sessions. Students desirous of
buying the audio-video tapes can procure them from: Director, Electronic Media Production Centre,
IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi-110 068.
8.3 Interactive Radio Counselling
The University has started interactive counselling through AIR network all over India. You can participate in
it by tuning in to your area Radio station. Experts from various discipline areas are available for this counselling.
Students can put across their questions to these experts by using the telephone. The telephone numbers are
announced by respective Radio Stations. This counselling is available on every Sunday between 4 and 5 in the
evening.
8.4 Gyan Darshan

IGNOU in collaboration with Doordarshan now has an exclusive Educational TV Channel of India called
Gyan Darshan. It is available through cable TV network. The channel telecasts educational programmes for
24 hours every day. Apart from programmes of IGNOU it will have educational programmes produced by
various national education institutions. You should try to get access to it through your cable operator. The
schedule of programmes with time and date is sent to all study centers one month in advance. Please obtain
it from there.
8.5 Teleconferencing
To reach our students spread in different parts of the country we take the help of teleconferencing. These
sessions are conducted from Delhi. The students can attend these at the regional centres and specified study
centres of IGNOU. It is a one way video and two way audio facility. You will be sent a schedule with topics
in advance through your study centres. The faculty at Delhi and other experts as resource persons participate
in these sessions. You can put your problems and questions to these experts through the telephone available at
receiving centres. These will help in resolving your queries related to courses and other general information
pertaining to programmes of study.
8.6 Counselling
In distance education, face-to-face contact between the learners and their tutors/counsellors is an important
activity. The purpose of such a contact is to answer some of your questions and clarify your doubts which
may not be possible through any other means of communication. It is also intended to provide you an opportunity
to meet fellow students. There are experienced academic counsellors at the Study Centres to provide counselling
and guidance to you in the courses that you have chosen for study. The counselling sessions for each of the
courses will be held at suitable intervals throughout the academic session. The counselling sessions are
not compulsory. However, they may be very useful in certain respects such as: to share your views on the
13
subject with teachers and fellow participants, comprehend some of the complex ideas or difficult issues, and
get clarifications for many doubts which you would not otherwise try to raise, and consult academic counsellors
for selecting courses of study.
Face-to-face counselling will be provided to you at the study centre assigned to you. You should note that the
counselling sessions will be very different from the usual classroom teaching or lectures. Counsellors will not
be delivering lectures or speeches. They will try to help you to overcome difficulties (academic as well as
personal) which you face while studying for this programme. In these sessions you must look into the subject-
based difficulties and any other issues arising out of such difficulties. Besides, some of the audio and video
cassettes that are available at that time will be played in the counselling sessions.
Before you go to attend the counselling sessions, please go through your course material and note down the
points to be discussed. Unless you have gone through the Units, there may not be much to discuss. Try to
concentrate on the relevant and the most important issues. Also try to understand each other’s points of view.
You may also establish personal contact with your fellow participants to get mutual help for academic purposes.
Try to get the maximum possible help from your counsellors.
Generally there will be 10 counselling sessions for an 8 credit course and 5 sessions for a 4 credit course. For
Field Work guidance, details are given in the Field Work Journal.
8.7 Social Work Practicum (Field Work)

1) The Evaluation for each course covers two aspects :
a) Continuous evaluation through assignments (Tutor Marked Assignment (TMAs)
b) Term-end examinations.
In the final results all the assignments of a course carry 30% weightage while 70% weightage is given
for term-end examination.
2) All the assignments and term-end examinations will be scored as a numerical marking scheme. Any
component, which has not been attempted would be treated as having a score of 0 (zero) marks
3) To claim BSW degree, the requirement for pass would be at least 35% marks (Grade D) in both
continuous evaluation (assignments) as well as term-end examination of each course. The scores of
continuous evaluation and term-end examination are not complementary to each . The above condition
is mandatory for all courses of BSW.
4) Depending on the percentage of marks secured by a candidate, the divisions will be awarded as follows :
Ist Division - 60% and above
IInd Division - 50% and 59.9%
Pass - 35% to 49.9%
Unsuccessful - Below 35%
The notional correlates of the letter grades and percentage of marks are as under:
15
Letter Grade Qualitative Value Point Grade
A Excellent 5
B Very Good 4
C Good 3
D Satisfactory 2
E Unsatisfactory 1
5. Students who do not qualify in the term-end examination are also allowed to take up the term-end
examination of courses in the next year. It means you can take the term-end examination of the first
year courses in the second year of study. But you can appear in examination for not more than 48
credits in one examination. Similarly the first and second year courses can be carried over to the third
year.
9.1 Assignments --- Instructions

Assignments constitute the continuous evaluation. The submission of assignments is compulsory. The marks
that you get in your assignments will be counted in your final result. Assignments of a course carry 30%
weightage while 70% weightage is given to the term-end examinations. Therefore, you are advised to take
your assignments seriously. A simple omission on your part may cause loss to you and inconvenience at all
levels in the University.
You have to complete the assignment within the due dates specified in the assignments booklet or within one
month of the date of receipt of assignments whichever is later. You will not be allowed to appear for the term-
end examination for any course if you do not submit the specified number of assignments in time for that
course. If you appear in term-end examination, without submitting the assignments the result of term-end
examination would be liable to be cancelled.
You will not be allowed to appear for the term-end examination for any course if you do not submit
the specified number of assignments in time for that course.
The main purpose of assignment is to test your comprehension of the learning materials you receive from us
and also to help you get through the courses. The evaluators/counsellors after correcting the assignments
send them back to you with their comments and marks. The comments guide you in your study and help in
improving it. The content provided in the printed course materials should be sufficient for answering the
assignments. Please do not worry about the non-availability of extra reading materials for working on the
assignments. However, if you have easy access to other books, you may make use of them. The assignments
are designed in such a way as to help you concentrate mainly on the printed course materials and exploit your
personal experience.
There is only one Tutor Marked Assignment (TMA) which will be evaluated by the counsellor. For 8 credit
course, there is only one tutor workd assignment.
Whenever you receive a set of material and assignments, check them immediately and ask for
missing pages, if any, from Material Production and Distribution Division, (IGNOU, Maidan Garhi,
New Delhi – 110068).
16
The assignment responses should be complete in all respects. Before submission you should ensure that you
have answered all the questions in all assignments. Incomplete answer sheets bring you poor grades.
The University/Co-ordinator of the Study Centre has the right to reject the assignments submitted after the
due date. You are, therefore, advised to submit the assignments before the due date.
For your own record, retain a copy of all the assignment responses which you submit to the Coordinator. If
you do not get back your duly evaluated tutor marked assignments along with a copy of assessment sheet
containing comments of evaluator on your assignment within a month after submission, please try to get it
personally from your study centre. This may help you to improve upon future assignments. Also maintain an
account of the corrected assignment responses received by you after evaluation. This will help you to represent
your case to the University in case any problem arises.
In case of tutor-marked assignments, you have to submit your response sheets to the Coordinator of the
Study Centre assigned to you. After evaluation these tutor marked assignments will be sent back to you
with comments and marks (grade).
Do not forget to get back your duly evaluated tutor marked assignments alongwith a copy of the assessment
sheet containing comments of the evaluator on your performance. This may help you to improve future
assignments.
If you do not get pass grade in any assignment, you have to submit it again. To get fresh assignments you
should write to Registrar, MPDD, IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi-110068. However, once you get the
pass grade in an assignment, you cannot re-submit it for improvement of grade. Assignments are not subject
to re-evaluation except for factual errors, if any, committed by the evaluator. The discrepancy noticed by you
in the evaluated assignments should be brought to the notice of the Coordinator of the Study Centre, so that
the correct score is forwarded by him to the Student Evaluation Division at Headquarters. Score communicated
by the study centre through any mode other than the award list will not be acceptable to the university for
taking your score of assignments on your record.
In case you find that the score indicated in the assignment sheet of your Tutor marked assignment has not
been correctly reflected or is not entered in your grade card, you are advised to contact the coordinator of
your study centre with a request to forward correct award list to the SE Division at the Headquarters.
Do not enclose or express doubts for clarification if any about study material or assignment alongwith
the assignment. Send your doubts in a separate cover to the Director of the concerned School at
IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi - 110068. Give your complete enrolment number, name, address, title
of the course, and the number of the Unit or the assignment, etc. on top of your letter
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR TUTOR MARKED ASSIGNMENTS (TMAs)
1) Write your Enrolment Number, Name, Full Address, Signature and Date on the top right hand corner of
the first page of your response sheet.
2) Write the Programme Title, Course Code, Course Title, Assignment Code and Name of your Study
Centre on the left hand corner of the first page of your response sheet.
Course Code and Assignment Code may be reproduced from the assignment.
17
The top of the first page of your response sheet should look like this:
ENROLMENT NO.:
PROGRAMME TITLE: .............................. NAME: .................................................
COURSE CODE: .............................. ADDRESS: .................................................
.............................. .................................................
COURSE TITLE: .............................. .................................................
ASSIGNMENT CODE: .............................. SIGNATURE: .................................................
STUDY CENTRE: .............................. DATE: .................................................
All Tutor Marked Assignments are to be submitted at the study centre assigned to you.
3) Read the assignments carefully and follow the specific instructions, if any given on the assignment itself
about the subject matter or its presentation.
4) Go through the Units on which assignments are based. Make some points regarding the question and
then rearrange those points in a logical order and draw up a rough outline of your answer. While
answering an essay type question give adequate attention to introduction and conclusion. The introduction
must offer your brief interpretation of the question and how you propose to develop it. The conclusion
must summarise your response to the question. Make sure that the answer is logical and coherent, and
has clear connections between sentences and paragraphs. The answer should be relevant to the question
given in the assignment. Make sure that you have attempted all the main points of the question. Once
you are satisfied with your answer, write down the final version neatly and underline the points you wish
to emphasise. While solving numericals, use proper format and give working notes wherever necessary.
5) Use only foolscap size paper for your response and tie all the pages carefully. Avoid using very thin
paper. Allow a 4 cm margin on the left and at least 4 lines in between each answer. This may facilitate
the evaluator to write useful comments in the margin at appropriate places.
6) Write the responses in your own hand. Typed assignments are also acceptable. Do not copy your
answers from the Units/Blocks sent to you by the University. If you copy, you will get zero marks for
the respective question.
7) Do not copy from the response sheets of other students. If copying is noticed, the assignments of such
students will be rejected.
8) Write each assignment separately. All the assignments should not be written in continuity.
9) Write the question number with each answer.
10) The completed assignment should be sent to the Coordinator of the Study Centre allotted to you. Under
any circumstances do not send the tutor marked response sheets to the Student Evaluation Division at
Head Quarters for evaluation.
11) After submitting the assignment at the Study Centre get the acknowledgement from the Coordinator on
the prescribed assignment remittance-cum-acknowledgement card.
12) In case you have requested for a change of Study Centre, you should submit your Tutor Marked
Assignments only to the original Study Centre until the change of Study Centre is notified by the
University.
18
13) If you find that there is any factual error in evaluation of your assignments e.g. any portion of assignment
response has not been evaluated or total of score recorded on assignment response is incorrect you
should approach the coordinator of your study centre for correction and transmission of correct score
to headquarters.
14) While submitting assignments and field work journals to the study centre, you must ensure that each
time an acknowledgement receipt is taken from the study centre. If the academic counsellor refuses
to provide acknowledgement receipt, the matter must be reported to the study centre co-ordinator.
If the co-ordinator also refuses to provide the acknowledgement receipt the matter must be reported
to the programme co-ordinator by e-mail or telephone call followed by a written complaint to Director,
SOSW, IGNOU, Maidan Garhi, New Delhi-110068
9.2 Term-end Examinations

As stated earlier, term-end examination is the major component of the evaluation system and it carries 70%
weightage in the final result.
The University conducts term-end examination twice a year i.e., in June and December. You can take the
examination only after completion of the course. In the first year you can take the examination of the foundation
courses in June and for the elective courses in December, failing which you can take the same in June or
December of subsequent years within the total span of the programme. Similarly in the case of second year
courses, you can take the examinations of the foundation courses in June and electives in December. In the
3rd year you can appear in Electives and Application oriented courses only in December. These conditions are
for the year of enrolment. Whenever you are repeating examination you can appear either in June & December.
In case you fail to get a pass score in the Term-end Examination, you will be eligible to reappear at the next
Term-end Examination for that course as and when it is held, within the total span of the programme.

To be eligible to appear at the Term-end Examination in any course, you are required to fulfil the following
four conditions.

News Letter from time to time. Thus, normally, the date sheet for June examinations is sent in the month of
January/February and for December examination in the month of July/August. You are advised to see
whether there is any clash in the examination dates of the courses you wish to take i.e. examination of any
two courses you wish to take are scheduled on the same day at the same time. If there is any clash, you are
advised to choose one of them in that examination and the other course in the next examination (i.e., June or
December as the case may be).

12. DETAILS OF FOUNDATION COURSES
I. Foundation Course in Humanities and Social Sciences (BSHF-101) 8 credits
Humanities and Social Sciences are disciplines which offer us the methodology to understand social reality. They also
contribute towards analyzing the process of evolution and accordingly help us in shaping the future course of human
development. It is by taking note of this role of these disciplines that the Foundation Course in Humanities and Social
Sciences (FHS-1) has been introduced as a compulsory course for the Bachelor’s Degree.
The course is aimed at offering a basic notion of most of the social, economic, political, cultural and other related
humanistic problems. We go back to the study of the primitive human beings and gradually take into account the
evolutionary processes by studying the march to great ancient Civilisations, social formations and systems i.e., from
slavery to the present day democratic world. In certain fields the perspective is based on a world view of the various
problems like apartheid, nuclear disarmament, ecology, pollution, etc. Yet, within this framework the main concern
remains the search for our own past, an analysis of our present, and mankind’s plan for the future. Thus, our unique
struggle against colonialism, cultural renaissance, etc., are the themes related to social transformation and national
integration. An attempt has also been made to familiarize you with the process of economic planning in India. This takes
into account the strategies adapted and the problems related to economic development and growth.

II. Foundation Course in Science and Technology (FST-1) 8 credits
In the first few units of this course, we trace the history of science from very ancient times to the modern period. We then
describe the interaction between science and society – the way science has grown in particular socio-economic conditions
and, in turn, how it has influenced changes in the society. We explain the special nature of scientific knowledge, as also
the scientific method. The units that follow deal with the world we live in, how it came into being, how life came into
existence, the resources we have and our environmental concerns. We then go on to examine how science and technology
can help us to solve some of the problems that we face in India like those of food, agriculture, health, etc. The study of
the human mind and social behaviour will then be taken up along with the crucial role that information and communication
play in the present day world. We will also explore the potentialities of modern scientific and technological developments.
We will sum up by describing the role of science and technology in national development, especially in the Indian
context.
In other words, this course attempts to make you aware of what science is and what it can do; how it has always been an
integral part of human life and endeavour and its immense potential in solving out problems.
