Description

Social problems and conflicts are integral part of the society from the time immemorial. In providing relief and solution to these problems, social work and social welfare have also remained a part of human society. Professional social work utilizes certain methods of working with people, in view of empowering the people to solve their problems. Among the methods of social work, social action is a professional social work practice whose relevance is often felt in the field situations. The inherent theme behind social action is readjustment of the social institutions and redistribution of power and resources for social justice and empowerment of the community. As a method of social work, social action mobilizes the general population to bring about structural changes in the social system.
