Accommodation
The Nirmala Niketan Hostel is run by the Institute of Social Service. It provides accommodation to lady students of the College of Home Science and Social work, who have no residential facilities in Mumbai. The Hostel consequently provides an experience of living together, sharing responsibilities and learning to use one’s freedom maturely.
Scholarships
FAEA scholarships are awarded to undergraduates who excel academically and belong to the lower socio-economic class. The college has been to help around 7-8 FAEA since the past four years.
The FAEA team of the College strives to enhance the opportunities and capacities of students from the marginalized groups. The support provided by FAEA for these efforts is greatly appreciated by the College. One of the former scholars of this programme Ms Swati Kamble has now managed to enter into one of the international universities.
On 20th December 2006, the College in collaboration with FAEA held a 3 day National Workshop on the Power of Information Concerns and Challenges for Youth and Development for students of 6 states in India and from seven social work colleges in Maharashtra.
