Discuss the major landmarks in the history of case work development in India.

Social case work and social group work are both integral aspects of social work practice, designed to support individuals and groups in overcoming challenges, improving well-being, and addressing social issues. The development of case work in India is marked by several key milestones, which reflect the evolution of social work practice in the country and its adaptation to the unique cultural, social, and economic context of India.

The emergence of social case work as a formal practice in India can be traced to the early 20th century, during British colonial rule, when the first social work training institutions were established. However, the real transformation of case work practice began in the post-independence period as the country sought to address the numerous social problems resulting from its complex social structure, poverty, and colonial legacy.

### Early Influences and Pre-Independent Period

Before India gained independence, the concept of case work had been influenced by the Western social work models, particularly the British and American systems. During the British colonial period, social reformers such as Raja Ram Mohan Roy and Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar had already begun to lay the groundwork for social change through advocacy for education, women's rights, and the abolition of social evils such as child marriage and sati. However, the professionalization of social work and case work did not take off in India until the early 20th century.

The first significant development in the history of case work in India was the establishment of the first formal social work training school at the University of Bombay in 1941. This institution was pivotal in introducing social work education and the concepts of case work to the Indian context. It was influenced by Western ideas of social work practice, but also had to adapt to the local realities of caste, poverty, and colonial oppression. This marked the beginning of the institutionalization of social work in India.
