Abstract

Most accounts of the Indian history of social work education starts with the founding of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences by Clifford Manshardt in 1936, with only a few authors making a passing reference to the educational contribution of the Servants of India Society (SIS). In the present article, the author attempts to highlight the dream of the great visionary Gopal Krishna Gokhale and his labours to train an army of socio- political workers for India through the SIS. The author goes on to discuss why the SIS did not receive the recognition it deserved in Indian social work history and concludes by presenting the SIS as a legacy lost to social work training in India
