SOUTH ASIA Welcome Message Dear Friends, Welcome to the 7th Indian Social Work Congress (ISWC) 2019. We are pleased to invite you to be a part of 7th Indian Social Work Congress 2019 to be held at Lucknow. If you recollect, NAPSWI began the trajectory of ISWC engagement from Delhi in 2013, and has so far organized six grand Social Work Congresses. This year, we are privileged to host the 7th Congress at Lucknow. The Indian Social Work Congress has continued to envision a keen introspection and reflection on the hallmarks and achievements of the social work profession, as also deliberate upon the issues, concerns and challenges confronting it. This time, the theme of 7th ISWC 2019 is Social Care and Social Wellbeing: Challenges and Opportunities for Social Work Profession. The theme of the 7th ISWC 2019 has been proposed keeping in view its significance in contemporary times. The concepts of social care and social well being are indeed the basics to social work education and practice, and it is imperative that we focus on the multidimensional themes falling within their frame. The forthcoming Congress aspires to bring together people associated with the diverse domains of social work education and practice on one common platform wherein deliberations on social work engagement, as also issues and concerns in the context of social care and well being will take place. In the dynamic context in which we are placed especially more competitive globalised economy, the roles and responsibilities that the social work profession is obligated to fulfill, as also the persona and discourses that it is expected to assume require concerted and ongoing immersion, reflection and articulation. We believe that this is an opportune moment for all of us to respond to the changing social-political realities of our times and assume a more contemporaneous avatar. The 7th ISWC 2019 proposes to provide an excellent site for the convergence of all stakeholders, including social work educators, researchers, activists, development practitioners and practicing professionals to share their views and experiences and also to configure a collective agenda for the glorious future of social work education and practice in the country. As the host of the 7thIndian Social Work Congress, we would also like to iterate that the Congress shall most certainly evolve into a personally enriching and professionally productive engagement for each one of us. It is with this hope and promise that we invite you to become an integral part of the Congress proceedings. We also take this opportunity to express our deep gratitude to NAPSWI for providing us with this opportunity of hosting this remarkable event. We look forward to welcoming you in Lucknow and urge you to collaborate with us in making this endeavor a momentous one. In solidarity Prof. Raj Kumar Singh Organising Secretary About the Congress
The Indian Social Work Congress is an initiative of the National Association of Professional Social Workers in India (NAPSWI). With a successful beginning at the University of Delhi in 2013, the second Congress took place in 2014 at the University of Pune. Thereafter, the third Congress was organized at JVBI, Ladnun; the fourth one was held at Varanasi; the fifth was in Sree Shankaracharya University of Sanskrit, Kalady, Kerala, and the last in the series, the sixth was again hosted by Delhi School of Social Work, University of Delhi. In continuation the same series, the 7th Indian Social Work Congress is being organised at one of the oldest institutions providing social work education in the country, viz. the Department of Social Work, University of Lucknow. Needless to say, the Department of Social Work is renowned for its excellence in the teaching and learning of social work and has received the status of being first UGC's Centre of Advanced Studies in Social Work. As has been acknowledged time and again, the purpose of the ISWC is to bring the fraternity of professional social workers together to discuss and deliberate upon the issues related to the social work education, practice and research in India. It aims to strengthen the profession through the consolidation of the educational thrust and practice focus on the foundational pillars of social work, viz. social and human development, social justice and human rights. By evolving a vibrant forum, the ISWC strives to facilitate wide ranging presentations on diverse topics, as also discussions and deliberations on the important sub themes emanating out of the main theme of the Congress. The Congress emerges as an important meeting point for educators from all parts of the country, as also practitioners and researchers, all of whom synergize their energies to review the larger trends that the profession is recording and to draw out meaningful responses to the issues and challenges that confront it. Specifically, the 7th ISWC 2019 aims to achieve the following objectives: 1. Provide a platform to social work professionals to discuss and deliberate on the issues relevant to social care and social wellbeing; 2. Address the issues posing challenges for social work profession in the area of social care and social wellbeing; 3. Explore and foresee the opportunities that may be availed as a consequential benefit out of the challenges; and 4. To come out with the concrete proposals and action plans on the basis of the experiences of social work educators, researchers, practitioners, policy makers, planners and development experts to ensure social care and social wellbeing assuming it to be a professional responsibility. Thematic Engagement of 7th ISWC 2019 The theme of 7th ISWC 2019 is 'Social Care and Social Wellbeing: Challenges and Opportunities for Social Work Profession'. The theme has emerged from the Indian perspective that society is the extension of individuals and all the components related to individual and society function not in isolation or independent manner but inter-connected and mutual supportive system leading to continuous interaction between individual and society. Social care and social wellbeing are very near to the profession of social work which is primarily concerned with supporting and helping people in a variety of situations and settings, works in solidarity with socially excluded people and groups in meeting the challenges that their social exclusion creates. Social workers work in wide range of settings and with different groups of people that include individuals, families, groups and communities; perform wide variety of roles including counseling, group work, lobbying, advocacy as well as political activism having network with other professionals such as doctors, public health workers, school teachers, advocates, social service providers and social activists, fulfilling the aim to support people to live more successfully within their local communities by helping them to find solutions to their problems. Social care plans and provides professional individual or group care to clients with personal and social needs. Client groups are varied which include children, adolescents, young people, intellectually or physically disabled, homeless, alcohol/drug dependents, families in community, older people, women etc. Social care strives to support, protect, guide and advocate on behalf of clients; bases on interpersonal relationships requiring empathy, strong communication skills, self- awareness and an ability to critical reflection; is guided through core principles of human rights, social justice and empowerment of clients to achieve their full potential. Team work and interdisciplinary work are vital in social care. Social wellbeing has been described from the perspective of the self (of individuals), this is most often referred to as subjective wellbeing which is a long standing social scientific concept that captures how people evaluate their lives and it has been shown to be related to both affective state (the emotional state in a particular moment) and affective disposition (the pre- disposition to a particular affective state over a period of time). Social wellbeing consists of five social dimensions which include social acceptance (accepting others as they are), social actualization (positive comfort level with society), social contribution (a feeling that one has a contribution to make to society), social coherence (understanding the social world as predictable comprehensible) and social integration (feeling as a part of the community). In order to meet the avowed objectives of social care and social wellbeing of individual, groups, families and communities, social work profession has have to possess effective knowledge and practice skills. In such a context, it is a natural aspiration from the Indian Social Work Congress to play a meaningful role in understanding, analyzing and interpreting the dimensions, areas, challenges and opportunities with regard to social care and social wellbeing. These concepts need to be examined in the context of the global action on poverty and inequalities, SDGs, Social protection, Climate change, empowering process for different groups and so on. Thus, the 7th Indian Social Work Congress is committed to provide a dynamic platform to discuss and deliberate on how the profession of social work can engage itself in achieving the aforementioned objectives resulting into exploration of new vistas in transforming social work profession with notion of think globally and act locally. Sub-Themes The sub-themes are being proposed as frameworks for detailed deliberations under overall congress theme in order to present conceptual, empirical and interventional papers or posters for clarifying related concepts, potential responses, and strategic interventions having policy implications. 1.

NAPSWI is one of the largest associations of social work professionals in India. NAPSWI was born in 2005, following the concerns of professional social workers to cater to the need of having an organisation at the national level. Since its inception, it has been making attempts to bring professional social workers on one platform so that a collective identity of the profession could emerge. NAPSWI intends to fulfill the twin purposes of promoting the social work profession within the country together with safeguarding and protecting the interests of social work professionals. NAPSWI has been instrumental in bringing a network of professional organisations which received affiliation from International Federation of Social workers (IFSW) for first time in past eight decades. As another first, it has been instrumental to host 25th Asia pacific Social work Conference in India. NAPSWI has also become National member of International Council of Social Welfare (ICSW). Its Secretariat is located at CSRD, Institute of Social Work and Research, Ahmednagar and the President's office is located at the Department of Social Work, University of Delhi. The University of Lucknow The idea of starting a University at Lucknow was first mooted by Raja Sir Mohammad Ali Mohammad Khan, Khan Bahadur, K.C.I.E. of Mahmudabad through an article to the columns of English daily newspaper "The Pioneer'' urging the foundation of a University at Lucknow. Later Sir Harcourt Butler outlined the proposed scheme for the new university and Lucknow University was established in 1919 as a Unitary, Teaching, and Residential University. On July 17, 1921, the University undertook teaching -- both formal and informal in the Faculties of Arts, Science, Commerce, and Law at the Canning College and in the Faculty of Medicine in the King George's Medical College and Hospital. Education in the University of Lucknow is being imparted in the faculties of Arts, Commerce, Education, Law, Science, Fine Art, Management, Ayurveda and Unani. There are nine specialized institutes/centres viz. Institute of Management Sciences, Tourism Studies, Development Studies, Urban Studies, Women Studies, UGC-SC/ST, OBC and Minority Coaching Centre, Population Research Centre, Mass Communication Centre and Bio-informatics Centre. To impart in-service training to the University and College teachers, the UGC-Human Resource Development Centre is established in the University with the support of the University Grants Commission, New Delhi. The strength of students in the campus is around 24000. The University has a total of 168 affiliated colleges. Around 150,000 students are enrolled in affiliated colleges. The Central Library of the University, the Tagore Library, has 0.60 million books, 50,000 journals and 10,000 copies of approved Ph.D. and D.Litt. Dissertations. Extra-curricular needs of the students are taken care of by the various Centres and associations such as NCC, NSS, Athletic Association, Sanskritiki, etc. Centre for Information, Publication and Public Relations (IPPR) looks after the publications and is the interface between the University and the media. The University is going through a digital revolution in its functioning. From admissions to fee deposit, to interaction with University administration, most of the works have been made online. In its initiative to promote quality research, University in academic session 2017-18 initiated a scheme of rewarding research scholars and faculty members involved in research activities. About the Department of Social Work The teaching and research in social work at University of Lucknow started in the first phase of development of professional social work education in India. The J.K. Institute of Sociology and Human Relations was established in 1948 under the inspiring leadership and directorship of the doyen of social sciences in India, Late Professor Radhakamal Mukerjee. Under the Institute was designed a Diploma in Social Service in 1949, a two year Master's Programme in 1952, and the degree of Master of Social Technique (MST) in 1954, a year later, the nomenclature of MST was changed to Master of Social Work (MSW). In 1956, a composite Department of Sociology and Social Work came up which was again bifurcated in 1972 to create an independent Department of Social Work. The Department of Social Work offers Courses from Bachelor to D.Litt. level in Social Work. It has also the distinction of being the first Department in the country to start Ph.D. and D.Litt. degree programmes and having produced the first Ph.D. and the first D.Litt in social work. In addition to Prof. Radhakamal Mukerjee, the Department had the credit of having on its teaching staff some of the early pioneers of social work education in India. These teachers of towering height excelled in academic attainments and made a distinct contribution to the development of professional social work education in the country. The Department has produced a large number of professionals, many of whom are occupying senior positions in the Government's social welfare sector, in public and private sector of industry, in social work academics and in other allied professions in India and abroad. In view of the commendable track record in teaching, research, publications and innovative field based programmes and activities; the University Grants Commission recommended the status of first phase of Centre for Advanced Studies in Social Work under Special Assistance Programme for a period of five years (2009-2014) and further sanctioned the CAS II for a period of five years (2015-2020). Besides, UG to D.Litt. programmes in Social Work offered by the Department, it has also started a few job oriented professional programmes at PG level as well as post graduate diplomas. A separate unit of Yoga and Naturopathy is also running in the Department since 1992-93 (later on upgraded to the Institute of Human Consciousness and Yogic Sciences in 2006). Under the extension activities, the Department has been running National Service Scheme, Centre for Adult Continuing Education and Extension. A number of research Centres such as Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Addhyan Sansthan, Manywar Kanshiram Shodh Peeth have been successfully run by the Department in the past and at present Pt.

Lucknow has various monuments and historical feel attached to it. The city is extremely popular for Chicken and Zardozi embroidery work.

Many food preparations like those of Tunde-Ke-Kabab, Idris- Ki-Biryani, Rahim-Ke-Kulche Nihari, Bismillah-Ki-Biryani, Radhey-Ki-Malai Gilory and Lassi, Raja Ki Thandai aur Sharma ki Chat have held their heads high due to purity and standards maintained. The ambience of Awadh has commonly been associated with the leisurely habits, etiquette, architecture, food and refinement, the residues of Nawabi culture. The shades of the monuments of the city differ with each sun and moon. One discovers and rediscovers Lucknow every day. No one has known Lucknow to the full and will never. That is why: “Jise aap kehte
hai Lucknow usey hum kehtey hai dooja jahan” (The place that you call Lucknow, we call it the other world). The places of tourist interest are Roomi Darwaza, Bada Imambada and Bhool Bhulaiya, Chota Imambada, Residency, Baradari, Chatar Manzil, Clock Tower, Dilkusha, State Museum, Zoo, Shahnajaf Imambada, Asafi Masjid, Dr. B R Ambedkar Park, Manyawar Kanshiram Smarak, Janeshwar Mishra Park, Kukrail Forest Reserve, Gomti River Front, etc. The month of October has pleasant weather in Lucknow city with average temperature ranging from 190C to 360C with slightly cold weather.
