"Sociology at Workplace is a thoughtful and suggestive book written with an intention to provide basic understanding about the subject frontier to the educators, planners, administrators, development functionaries, professionals like doctors, nurses, engineers and business leaders; and people interested in resolving social problems and formulating public policy with rationales for the actions they might take.

The book is mainly focused on contemporary Indian Society but it is important also to take account of the experience of other societies and one will find that the author often discussed particular questions from a comparative point of view. As we live in \'global society\' it is any way very difficult to or not sensible at all to separate one society sharply from another."
