Social Action Reports of IGNOU MSW BSW Journal

Social action is a special tool of social work. Every social workers use it for solving the problems of individual, groups or community. I have also used it many times for solving the case of my community. I have used RTI and paidal march techniques for the social action.

In the IGNOU MSW or BSW course, students also need to apply the social action tool for getting the professional social work skills. Here is the list of activities and tasks we need to do in social action.
