註釋The book critically examines the role of Social Work in developmental process in the context of Community Development programmes in India. It gives the history of Rural Development in India and with the help of action situations discusses the value of social work intervention in organizing rural poor. An analysis of five Panchayat elections in three villages of Delhi, graphically describes intense struggle for power at the grassroot level. The book makes some practical suggestions to improve the effectiveness of Panchayat in village development work. The main thrust of the book has been on involvement and peoples participation in their own development rather than merely accomplishment of projects or programmes. Review Professor K.D. Gangrade’s book describes the process of decision-making and the tussles that take place in electing panchayat members. Meher C. Nanavatty, in a Foreword to the book, poses an interesting question: Can the social work profession as it exists today “with little roots in the culture of the country and mostly woven around theories from the West†, face the challenge of change?
