Course Information :

Coursework & Assessment :

We believe that learning by doing is an extremely crucial aspect of the teaching–learning praxis of adult learners. Therefore, the methods of training are participatory in nature and learner-centric. Our teaching methods involve classroom teaching, lecture method, fieldwork exposure, group discussions, social work laboratory sessions, and roleplays. Assessment will be made on the basis of written examinations, periodic assignments and project work.

Rai University students are valued in the voluntary and inter-governmental organisations and the government organisations. Graduates in this discipline have good employment opportunities with the government and voluntary sector, at the district and sub-district levels, and local self-governing bodies. Furthermore, the programme is expected to shape students' competence to develop and implement rural development programmes independently.
