NAPSWI Week 2026:
The Department of Social Work, Tezpur University, organised a day-long programme to commemorate NAPSWI Week 2026.
Based on the theme this year, "Strengthening minds, strengthening families", the programme featured interactive sessions on the role of families from a public health perspective.
The sessions included a talk by our research scholar, Balaka Chattaraj on treatment adherence and health disparities; followed by a talk on the role of families in substance use by Abhishek Chakraborty and the last interactive session featured a talk on nutrition, and the role of people, place, policy, politics, and the planet in shaping health by Sayan Deori. It also included an expressive art therapy session by Kashmita Das, a movie screening with reflective sharing, and the inauguration of the second edition of Social Echoes, the department magazine.
Through these engaging activities, the department celebrated the values of social work practice, reflection, participation, and collective action.
