It is our pleasure to state that the National Annual Conference of the Indian Society of Professional Social Work will be held on the 23rd, 24th, and 25th of February 2023. The Conference is being hosted by the Department of Studies and Research in Social Work, Tumkur University, Tumakuru. The theme of the Conference is "Social Work in Education". The related subtopics include Social Work and NEP-2020, School Social work, Parent Counseling, Social work with students having learning disabilities, Counseling and guidance in education, etc. We expect around 1000 delegates from national and international student bodies, academics, practitioners, researchers, and NGO staff participating in the Conference.

The Conference aims to provide a social work dimension to the progress made by various governments in realizing the NEP-2020 aspirations including SDG’s in the country. In addition to this, the conference will also focus on quality social work application in relation to education and eventually incorporate a discussion on the global standards of Social Work in Education.

This Conference also hopes to create a platform for social work so as to reflect on the progress made so far in the field. In the meanwhile, the Conference simultaneously focuses on the barriers to the desired educational progress faced by various educational institutions. Ultimately, the Conference proposes to foreground the importance of good social work in education in pursuit of a social order that ensures the well-being of all.
