CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
We humans are social beings, no doubt about that! Our life and progress are
depended on each other. But on one level our needs, feelings and desires cause us to act
for our own benefit and without regard for the needs and benefit for others. But this
attitude will not take us forward.
For a sustained development we must join hands and co-operative with our fellow
beings and nature. Social service is one such opportunity through which we can help our
co-beings and work for the society.
Literal meaning of social service social service is a profession and academic
discipline that seeks to improve the quality of life and well-being of an individual, group
or community by intervening through research policy, crisis intervention, community
organizing, direct practice and teaching on behalf of those afflicted with poverty or any
real or perceived social injustices and violations of their civil liberties and human rights".
Social work is a professional and academic disciplining that seeks to improve the
quality of life and subjective well-being of individuals, groups, and communities through
research, policy, community organizing, direct practice, crisis intervention and teaching
for the benefit of those affected by social disadvantages such as poverty, mental and
physical illness or disability, and social injustice including violations of their civil
liberties and human rights.
A person who practices social work is called a social worker. In the UK, the title
social worker is protected by low and only those who have undergone approved training
at university either through a Bachelor or Master's degree in social work and are
registered with the appropriate regulatory boy (the health and care professions council in
England, the Scottish social services council, the care council for Wales, or the northern
Ireland social clear council may practice social work and be called a social worker, social

skins of a qualified social worker. Currently, there are no formal qualifications or training
to practice as a social care assistant, care worker, social care assistant or career, but
mostly ancillary staffs are accountable to a qualified member of staff, such as a social
worker.
Research and the practice of social work focuses on area such as human
development sociologic, psychosocial, psychotherapy, counseling, social policy public
administration social programme evaluation and community development. Social workers
are organized into local, national, continental and international professional bodies. It is
an interdisciplinary field that incorporates theoretical basis from economics, education,
sociology, law medicine, philosophy, politics, anthropology, and psychology. Now
through MG University and our institution Kottayam Institute of Science and
Technology, we were given an opportunity to spare a little time from our busy schedule
and do something good for others. As per rule of total duration of 15 days compulsory
social service was mandatory to register for semester 8.

MODE OF WORK
3.1 Stage 1 (22-06-2017)
It was the first day of our social service program. We all arrived there at about 10
am. The staff and director of the trust and some priests from nearby churches were
welcomed us. We entered into that big family, like some new members. The priests were
come there to conduct the prayer programmes and motivation classes.
Since that was the first day we need to know about the each person in that family
including staffs. We started the interactive section with the members. The staffs helped
us to interact with them. Those persons in that trust were from different parts of the
country such as: some are from Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Mumbai and
also from Kerala itself. There were 90 people in that trust.
That trust provides the help for homeless and mentally retarded or sick people,
who were wandering alone on the public areas such as road sides, bus stands, railway
station etc. While we were interacting with each person a new experience is learned from
them. Not all persons are mentally sick, some are persons with good knowledge and
others were retrieved from the mental problems but they did not have a home to go, hats
why they were still there. But they are not at all sad. They continue their life with prayers,
meditation and the staffs provides a very good caring for them. The members really
satisfied with that, which was revealed from their interactions. Right time medicine,
prayer, caring etc. Bring Back them to the normal life.
With the assistance of the staff we continued the interaction with them. Some
were interested to talk to us but some were not interested as well. Because they were very
reserved personalities. But we tried to talk them and know them. It was a great experience
to interact with them and to learn different life experiences from the most experienced
persons. We were seen a new world through the aged but still glowing and young eyes.

CHAPTER 4
CONCLUSION
Those 15 days were like 15 gold coins for each of us. We would treasure those moments
for the later life. The experience we gained there each day was indeed more than that
could be taught in classes or seminars. Our perspective about the life of ourselves and
others was completely changed. As we say goodbye we were experiencing something on
our mind, a satisfaction of doing something good for our brothers and sisters for our
society and indeed for ourselves. We learned a lot from them, and we consider it a sour
pleasure working for them. Their blessing and those little smiles that burden on their lips
were the greatest rewards we could take back.
