Social Work grew out of humanitarian and democratic ideals and its values are based on respect for equality, worth and dignity of all people. Human rights and social justice serve as the motivation and justification for social work action. Social work strives to alleviate poverty and to liberate vulnerable and oppressed people in order to promote social inclusion. Social work profession addresses the barriers, inequities and injustices that exist in our society.
Professional Social Work is focused on problem solving and change. As such social workers are changing agents in the society and in the lives of the individuals, families and communities they serve. It serves individuals, families and communities who seek preventive and rehabilitative interventions to lead improved quality of life.

Though OASIS is a baby institution to offer social work education, it has a broad vision of its own. This institution cherishes a dream to transform it in to a CENTRE OF EXCELENCE in Social Work education in India within shortest possible time.

In North Orissa there was a great need of social Work college as it is far from the state capital and one of the deprived parts of Orissa. Maximum numbers of development projects are going on here but the short fall of good social workers is strongly felt. A college should not be a certificate giving institution, but also come forward with great ethics of qualitative education package to produce potential persons for the development of a nation/ society. Keeping the above objectives in mind, we have decided to set-up this college Balasore. Orissa Academy of Social Science and Integrated Studies (OASIS) has strong faith on its education pattern, introduce the innovativeness/ difference in comparison to others and hope for the best product to the society.
