Dean of Research at KU Prof Shakil A Romshoo was the chief guest at the valedictory function. Applauding the DoSW for organising the training programme for grassroots-level health professionals, Prof Romshoo said the university is taking new initiatives to take the outcome of its academic and project-based research to the society.

“We have constituted a research outreach committee to reach out to the society with the findings of research conducted in this university on different societal and environmental problems. The idea is to develop a strong society-university linkage and to help address the pressing societal problems, including mental health and drug abuse,” he said.

Prof Romshoo said alongside capacity building of health professionals, it is important for people to come together and strengthen the lost societal connect that they once cherished.

“Somehow there has been a loss of social spaces in Kashmir where regular interactions among people, visiting relatives frequently and sharing personal concerns and problems with friends would be a regular affair. I think that needs to be revived in this journey of addressing mental health concerns, alongside removing taboos and social stigma falsely attached to the mental health problems,” he said.

Prof Romshoo later released the ‘Social Work Bulletin’, the first volume of a peer-reviewed and refereed journal of the Department of Social Work.
