The survey of the field of social work in India reveals that the prevailing level of social services and welfare services is extremely low. Both the Indian social work education and its professional organization are influenced by the American social philosophy which is inappropriate to the prevailing conditions in Indian society. The total absence of indigenous study material based on Indian culture and society further diminishes the applicability of the professional social work taught in the schools of social work. With the rapid growth of urbanization and industrialization now, the need to develop social administration approach to social work has emerged. The professional social worker's responsibility in this overall context is suggested.

KEYWORDS: SOCIAL WELFARE; SOCIAL WORK; INDIA.
