Social Work and Developmental Issues

The author has analysed the selected issues according to local, national and gobal parameters. She examines the theoretical components of Social Work and Social Development along with practical problems and bottlenecks in implementing them in situations prevailing in India.

Among the eleven chapters in this volume, four are devoted to the philosophy of social work and rest of them deal with social development, sustainable development, poverty and other related issues. All the issues in this book are independent but an undercurrent of interdependence is also evident. Hopefully this wide ranging volume will attract the attention of students, educators, researchers, activists and policy makers.
