Indian Society of Professional Social Work (ISPSW) aims towards meeting the challenges of present-day social work practice and creating a platform for information exchange among fellow professionals. The Society was formally known as the Indian Society of Psychiatric Social Work, which was established in the year 1970 by Dr. R.K. Upadhyaya, Dr. A.N. Verma and his colleagues of the Department of Psychiatric Social Work, Central Institute of Psychiatry, Ranchi. The nomenclature of the Society was changed in ANC of ISPSW (Dec.1988) at Kolkata, because of an increased representation of educators, practitioners and researchers from all streams of social work in the Society.
