This book provides multiple frameworks and paradigms for social
work education which integrates indigenous theories and cultural
practices. It focuses on the need to diversify and reorient social
work curriculum to include indigenous traditions of service,
charity and volunteerism to help social work evolve as a profession
in India. The volume analyzes the history of social work education
in India and how the discipline has adapted and changed in the last
80 years. It emphasizes the need for the Indianization of social
work curriculum so that it can be applied to the socio-cultural
contours of a diverse Indian society. The book delineates
strategies and methods derived from meditation, yoga, bhakti and
ancient Buddhist and Hindu philosophy to prepare social work
practitioners with the knowledge, and skills, that will support and
enhance their ability to work in partnership with diverse
communities and indigenous people. This book is essential reading
for teachers, educators, field practitioners and students of social
work, sociology, religious studies, ancient philosophy, law and
social entrepreneurship. It will also interest policy makers and
those associated with civil society organizations.
