The ideology of Sarvodaya is embedded in the Gandhian conception of an ideal social order as described by Ganguli who devoted his post-retirement phase, his time and energy to study Gandhian social philosophy. Based on this scholarly study he has written Gandhian Vision of an Ideal Social Order. I draw hereafter substantially from his work mostly in his own language.

This paper aims to provide a clear picture of ground reality of the quality of life of tribes in the forest hideouts. In this democratic era all nations act like welfare country. Here, the welfare means nothing but the welfare of people. It will be meaningful if every one of the nation is included in the process of welfare. But many groups of people are still marginalised. In India, quality of life of tribes is felt apprehensive. The study is based on both primary and secondary sources of data. This study tries to focus on hurdles in implementing government projects for tribes, and differences between government reports and reality. Key words: quality of life, tribes, government projects, programmes for tribes. Abstract
Good health is an invaluable asset for better economic productivity, both at the individual and at the national level, but above all it is valued by those who own it as a pre requisite for better quality of life and better standard of living. The biological differences and the life process of women necessitate special attention for ensuring better health for women. Beginning of Menstrual Cycle, Pregnancy, lactating period and menopause are the milestones in the life of ordinary women as there will be lot of physio- psychological changes. Each period requires special care in terms of dietary practices, physical exercises, rest and social interactions. Towards achieving this goal the United Nations, Government of India and the Government of Karnataka have made several efforts. The present paper has been prepared using the NFHS- IV data to understand the status of health of women in Karnataka. The presence of anemia both among pregnant (39.6% in urban and 48.7% in urban areas) and non pregnant women (43.0% in urban and 46.2% in urban areas), obesity, low body mass index and the domestic violence (20%) indicates the need for an integrated approach for the health of women. This calls for a shift from reproductive health approach to life cycle approach for promoting the health of women. Keywords: reproductive approach, health problems of women, life cycle approach. Menstrual Hygiene: Knowledge and Attitude among Adolescent Girls Residing in Observation Home.4/11/2017 Sanjeevkumar Y. Yaliballi Abstract
The word adolescence comes from a Latin word ‘adolescere’meaning to grow in maturity. In the life of every adolescent girl menarche is a significant event. It marks the transition of girlhood to a woman hood. This transitional period is marked with onset of Menarche which is the one of most important physiological changes occurring among girls during the adolescent year. It heralds the onset of physiological maturity in girls. Menstruation is generally considered as unclean in Indian communities. Girls and women are subjected to restrictions in their daily life simply because they are menstruating. Beside the health problems due to poor hygiene during menstruation, there seems to be substantial lack of knowledge about menstruation and its management among girls living in observation home. Dr. S.A. Kazi The emergence of Social Work education is a result of multidisciplinary response to the diversified social issues in society. This diversified response to the societal issues resulted social work profession. The global definition of social work is a practice-based profession and an academic discipline that promotes social change and development, social cohesion, and the empowerment and liberation of people. Principles of social justice, human rights, collective responsibility and respect for diversities are central theme to social work. Underpinned by theories of social work, social sciences, humanities and indigenous knowledge, social work engages people and structures to address life challenges and enhance wellbeing (Global Definition of the Social Work Profession, approved by IFSW in 2014).

Support groups are the organizations of people who share a common disorder and problems who meet together to discuss their experiences, share ideas, and provide emotional support for one another. Usually a support group is led by a member who has had some training in facilitating group discussions. Unlike formal group therapy, self-help support groups are usually not led by a professional therapist but nevertheless can be a helpful coping tool to complement formal treatment. For some types of problems, such as bereavement after the death of a loved one, or coping with chronic medical conditions like cancer, chronic kidney disease, HIV, hospitals or community agencies often provide support groups led by a social worker or other counselor. Abstract
In India, as per as International Labour Organisation report (1999), there are more than 10,000 mines (of which 10%–60% may be illegal),employing about 1 million people including women and children. The extent of illegal mining is often linked to difficulties in obtaining permits. In these mines,there are serious problems as regards health and safety, the environment,hygiene and working conditions.Like most economic activities, mining has positive and negative aspects. It is closely linked to economic development, particularly in the rural sector in many developing countries and helps to stem rural-urban migration,maintaining the link between people and the land. The social and economic complexity of mining and the fact there is nomodel on which to develop a sound theory or programme needs a research study. Hence, the study was conducted at Bharat Gold Mines Limited (BGML) at KGF. The present study tried to understand the health and safety conditions of the mining employees, In this paper researcher is going to present three case studies and discussing the intervention of social workers. Key words: Health and safety, family background, gold mining, intervention of social workers. Field Work Practicum in Social Work Education The Challenges, Pitfalls and Practical Solutions4/2/2017 Manjunath Introduction
Social work as a practiced-based profession (IFSW/IASSW, 2014) requires a combination of theoretical and practical learning. Both types of learning are important for students to become professional social workers, and they take place inside and outside the university classroom through the field education experience. Dr. V.S.T. Krsihna Abstract
Introduction: It is roughly got estimated that in India the population (3crores) of persons with Mental Retardation (Intellectual and Developmental Disability, IDD) does equals to that of Australia’s population. Of which most of them are situated unattended to by any professional services living in rural areas. Mental Retardation/IDD is characterized by an age inappropriate Intellectual development that is significantly of sub average level. This condition is recently renamed as Intellectual and Developmental Disability with approximate prevalence of 2.5 to 3% in India. This amounts to near about 3 crorers and 75% of this affected population is estimated to be living in rural and semi-urban areas, consequently exposed to higher levels of Stigma, acute lack of rehabilitation facilities and poor awareness regarding this condition and related rehabilitation process. Introduction
Field programmes are finally capturing the limelight in social work education as the “signature pedagogy,” a form of education that integrates theory and practice. Field education is an experiential form of teaching and learning that takes place in a service setting. Learning is achieved through the provision and/or development of services to clients, groups, communities, organizations, or the society. Field instruction is a process that involves the field instructor and the student in analyzing and integrating practice skills with the knowledge and value base of the profession. The goal is to develop the student’s competence in the practice of social work. The attempt to forge a strong link between theory and practice remains a cornerstone of social work professional education. Through the practicum, graduate students are provided with significant integrative experiences in preparation for their professional careers. The supervised practice experience or practicum is referred to in many different ways including “field instruction,” “supervision,” “placement” or “internship. The practicum, field instruction and field work are different terms used to denote the same reality i.e., the practicum in social work education (Philomina, 1978). Abstract
Right from the inception of Social Work Education/Training, Social Work Practicum has been considered as its integral and important component. It has also been believed to be its signature pedagogy. However, most of its theoretical and practical content has been borrowed heavily from its West and very little has been done in terms of making it relevant to the diverse practice contexts in India (Midgley, 1981). Further, overreliance on the traditional modes of learning in the educational system in India in general and Social Work Education in particular has downgraded Social Work Practicum into a ritualistic practice. In such a context, the present paper argues that the complex nature of contemporary reality that the profession of Social Work wishes to understand and engage with, requires Social Work Education/Training to redefine and redirect its practicum content and pedagogy towards constructivist mode of learning so that the social work learner masters the art of creating and integrating knowledge into an action-reflection or theory-practice continuum. Key Words: Constructivism, Pedagogy, Ritualism, Social Work Education, Social Work Practicum. “Mathru devo bhava, pithru devo bhava” – treat the parents as gods, thus prescribe the Upanishad.
