WE ARE HIRING | FACULTY MEMBERS – SOCIAL WELFARE & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT For those who believe a university must work beyond the classroom.

At Brainware University , we believe that the responsibility of a university extends far beyond the boundaries of its campus.

Education must engage with society. Knowledge must respond to real social challenges. And students must learn not only from classrooms, but also from the communities they will eventually serve.

With this philosophy, Brainware University is establishing a recent Department of Social Welfare & Community Engagement

- an institutional platform that will bring together our social-outreach initiatives, community programmes, NSS activities , social-development projects and university-community engagement under one umbrella.

In the future, the Department is also envisioned to develop appropriate degree, diploma, certificate and skill-development programmes in Social Welfare and allied areas, subject to applicable regulatory requirements.

We are now inviting committed academic professionals to become part of the founding team of this Department .
