This book, an outcome of a national study on professional social work, gives a glimpse of eight decades of social work education and training in India. The educators, practitioners and institutions offering social work through open and distance learning were covered under the study. In this process, the author studied the past, understood the present and forecasted the future of social work education. This book gives an idea about the status of social work education in terms of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges. This book may be beneficial to the educators, practitioners, researchers and students of social work education within and outside the country.
