Hey Sujeet,

Social work is an activity to help individuals, groups or communities enhance or restore their capacity for social functioning and creating societal conditions favourable to this goal. It deals with issues of social change clubbed with social justice and human rights. As an academic subject, it’s a two-year professional programme (at the PG level), which equips students to work on issues related to inequality and injustice. Welfare is a noble way of helping people fulfil their pending needs. Welfare workers develop the capacities and potential of the needy and deprived so that they can help themselves. Social work, however, is very different from the way people perceive it. It is not charity work. Therefore, when working with those who need help, you facilitate processes for them so they are able to identify and link the opportunities and options available to them to better their lives. To work in an NGO you have to pursue masters in social work OR if you're not wanting to pursue a degree in Social Work you will have to start from the scratch.
