Each student is required to undertake two compulsory components of the curriculum i.e. Rural Camp and Study Tour at the end of 1st and 3rd semester, respectively.
Both the activities help the students to develop and demonstrate culturally responsive, ethical, evidence-based practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. These activities are partly led and managed by students and in the process, they learn to organize and manage events. They also experience group living as a part of these activities.
