The Department’s post-graduate programme stems from the discipline of Human Development and Childhood Studies, with courses being organized in keeping with the new semester-based system introduced in University of Delhi. Our students have explored and researched different dimensions of the human life-span, even as we have added newer areas of study, responding to emerging needs of contemporary times. They learn to understand and facilitate different aspects of children’s survival, protection and development in culturally diverse contexts.
