About the Book: Tagore and Social Work : A Universal Inspiration
This primer on Tagores village reconstruction experiment; formally began in 1921
in rural Bengal where Tagore founded his University Visva-Bharati (1918), is
designed to provide insight to students, teachers and practitioners across the
world with social issues and community development with the deep belief that all
human problems are shared. Tagore remains relevant in the light of the
participatory and equitable social work practices that cut across all vectors
that divide humanity. This volume integrates the sensibilities of the well-known
poet and his lesser-known engagement in developing professional social work
principles and practices..
