INTRODUCTION

Field practice is a dynamic course that challenges students to apply social work
knowledge, skills & values within an organizational context. It is a vital dimension of
student’s post graduate social work education allows students to see relationships that
demonstrate or validate theory. Learning in the field is integrative, requiring holistic
thinking that applies information and skills from multiple investigative approaches
(theoretical, analytical, experimental, and modeling) to interpret, explain, predict, or
confirm assertions about natural phenomena. It is through observation and doing the job
and feeling responsible for the job of helping people to cope with their problems, that
social work students acquire skills. Likewise, fieldwork is designed to give the exposure
and experience on the functioning of social welfare agencies and social welfare. This
study is intended to make a contribution towards filling this gap. The study builds on
existing knowledge on fieldwork, including but not limited to the fieldwork curriculum,
the management of fieldwork and the needs and challenges faced by students, agency
supervisors and training institutions.

The Social Work curriculum is so designed to integrate various settings, in order to

apply the various methods of Social Work. As per the requirements of the Community
Development Specialization in the Social Work program, the trainee was placed in
People’s Development Initiatives (PDI), through the Fieldwork, the practice of the
Social Work techniques applied in the community social work had been cross checked.

The Fieldwork helps the trainee to learn regarding the procedures, methods and
practices to be followed in field setting. It helps the trainee to build a bridge the gap
between theory and practices, help the trainee to sharpen their professional skills,
knowledge and attitude etc.

ONGOING PROGRAMMES:
Women Empowerment Programme - Tiruchirapalli

It is a comprehensive community development programme which gives more

emphasis to the development of the children and women living in ten villages and slums.
PDI has been working for the development of Urban Poor for more than a decade
through its programme, namely, Urban Development Programme (UDP). The Urban
Development Programme (UDP) was successful in its implementation in ten slums of
Tiruchirapalli district by handing over the UDP to the Community Governing Council
- A Community Based Organization promoted by PDI in 2006. PDI submitted a
proposal for the project ‘Women Empowerment Programme’ to IMPLICADAS for
replicating the activities in five slums of Tiruchirapalli City and in five villages of
Thuvarankurichi. The villages, namely, Ammapannai, Atthupatti, Thulukampatti,
Kallakampatty, and Thethur had been identified during July 2007. The activities have
been initiated in the slums simultaneously, namely, Jailpettai, Sathya Nagar, V. M.
Pettai, Chinnasamy Nagar, and Edamalaipatty Pudhur. The project was started in
August 2008 and ended in December 2013. The Slum Development Councils and
Village Development Councils were formed, capacitated, and linked with Community
Governing Council. Again, From January 2014, PDI identified another five slums
namely Andakondan, Kuppangulam, Samathuva Nagar, Chockalingapuram,
Mudukkupatty. and identified another five Villages namely, Ammachathiram Pudhur,
Karaipatty, Karumalai, Alampatty, and Adaikkampatty. It started replicating the
activities and the programme is named as Women Empowerment Programme II.

The project team works with three thousand families and has supplementary educational
programme in five slums and in five villages. The project has formed help groups and
takes efforts to empower the women through skill training programmes and income
generation programme. The Non-formal education programme assists the illiterate
adults of the slum/rural population to learn basic skills of reading and Tamil. The project
team motivates the illiterate adult women to learn the basic skills. The women are
encouraged to learn during their free hours. The literacy classes are being facilitated by
the animators during the afternoon when the learners are relatively free at home. The
project identifies and trains Community Health Volunteers and gender volunteers. The
Community Health Volunteers (CHV) serves as change-agents in the community. They
work along with the animators and refer the people to the nearby health centres. The
Community Health Volunteers help the project team to organise Health Awareness
Campaigns and Health Camps. The Gender Volunteers have been given training to
promote gender equality and refer the victims to the Women Support Centre. Every
Year, a Summer Camp for the Marginalised Children is being organised with the
support of local resources. Eighty five to one hundred children learn new skills and it is
a three day residential programme.
The project takes efforts to promote Self Help Group [SHGs] to give women a
prominent social and leading role to ensure positive changes in their community. It
helps the women to have a regular habit of savings and as a result, there will be a decline
in borrowing money from the private money lenders at high rates of interest. The
entrepreneurs are motivated to avail loan for their working capital at any time they
require it. The project assists and guides the groups to have access to banks for availing
the credit.

Her Voice is a programme integrated with Women Empowerment Programme to

sensitize the women and their socio political rights. It is programme aiming at
Empowerment of Women in the Socio Political Sphere. During December 2012 to
November 2013, it was implemented in ten slums including Chinnasamy Nagar, Sathya
Nagar, V. M. Pettai, Edamalaipatty Pudhur, Kalpalaiyam, C. Block,
Mahalakshmipuram, Kattur, Padhuvai Nagar, Kajapettai, Keela Krishnan. Koil Street,
Ramamurthy Nagar, Anna nagar /Bells Ground, Koradanthoppu and Panju kidangu
Street. Again, IMPLICADAS and Fondos have agreed to support this initiative from
the period of one year from December 2015 to November 2016, and the present
programme is being implemented in ten villages of Thuvarankurichi. The women are
being sensitized on the importance of their role in Local Bodies. All the men, women
and youths are being sensitized on Gender Issues. The Skill Training Programmes are
organised in Thuvarankurichi and it is planned to support the women with new skills to
start their own business under Income Generation Programme. The Gender Clubs for
Youths have been formed in all the ten villages. A street play has been formed with
local volunteers to sensitize the General Population on Gender Issues and need for
promoting Gender Equality.

Women Support Centre - Tiruchirapalli

PDI has been working for the empowerment of women in the Districts of
Tiruchirapalli and Salem, with the support of IMPLICADAS. It gives greater emphasis
on Gender Issues in its entire development programme and serves the women in distress
through various strategies. PDI has been carrying out the counseling services to the
women through counseling and referral services. However, their services are restricted
to the target area only. Beside, PDI has proposed to establish a Women Support Centre
to assist any women accessing PDI even from Non-Target Boundaries. During June
2009 the Women Support Centre was formed in order to assist the women under crisis.
The Women Support Centre Consists of an advocate, a feminist journalist, and the
project leader of Female Infanticide Prevention Programme.

During January 2010, IMPLICADAS has awarded PDI a cash award of 2750 euro to
appreciate the services of PDI with the marginalized communities. IMPLICADAS and
PDI have jointly decided to use this amount to establish and operate a Women Support
Center in Tiruchirapalli also. IMPLICADAS has transferred the amount to PDI on 9th
Feb. 2010 and PDI started the Women Support Center from 8th March 2010. After a
period of one year, assessing the performance of the Women Support Centre, and
understanding the need for such a centre, IMPLICADAS has agreed to support the
programme along with its regular financial support to Women Empowerment
Programme in Tiruchirapalli.

The major goal of the Women Support Centre is “To assist the women under crisis and
guide, educate, and counsel and empower the women to cope up with the issues and to
face the problem with the help of legal system.” The Women Support Centre regularly
organizes Legal Awareness Programmes for Women in Slums/Villages and assists the
women in crisis, guide, counsel, support and empowers the women to cope up with the
issues, and to face the problem with the help of legal system. The advocates used to
sensitize the women on Domestic Violence Act 2005, rights of women to inherit
property, and on gender issues. Three legal education sessions were organized in the
village itself. Both the project teams of Salem and Tiruchirapalli have established good
rapport with the District Legal Aid Authorities, All Women Police Stations and with
Family Counseling Centres to refer the victims to get legal remedies.

Project Axshaya - Tiruchirapalli

Project Axshaya is a programme to sensitize the vulnerable people on

Tuberculosis in Tiruchirapalli and Salem, with the Support of REACH and CHAI
respectively. The goal of the project is "To decrease morbidity and mortality due to drug
resistant TB (DR-TB) and improve access to quality TB care and control services
through enhanced civil society participation".

From October 2010 onwards, CHAI implements The Project Axshaya in Salem district
through 4 Mother NGOS. PDI is one among the Mother NGOs and implemented the
CHAI Project Axshaya in Salem Corporation, Omallur, and Tharamangalam Block.
REACH is a Voluntary Organization working for the past twelve years in Tuberculosis
