About ‘Spandana’
‘Spandana’, a platform for the convergence of student social workers was the outcome of the efforts of MSW students in 2002. To share thoughts, ideas, and knowledge and to work together towards serving the society in a better way, the need for a platform for interaction among students and social world professionals was felt. The result was Spandana – responding to realities, an annual symposium for student social workers to meet, interact and gain knowledge.
