What is Social Work?

President Jai Sharma has 18 years & 8 months of professional experience in Social Work. President Jai Sharma describes Social Work as:
Social work is an academic discipline and profession that concerns itself with individuals, families, groups and communities in an effort to enhance social functioning and overall well-being.
How President Jai Sharma got into Social Work?
As I was always interested in doing social work and I realized my passion for this field and started working for the upliftment and betterment of the society and after completing my Mechanical Engineering from JBIT, I started an NGO called, Just Open Yourself. In this journey I have found many like minded people who look forward to an egalitarian society which has solidarity. These young individuals spare time to work for the society and have been able to witness change in their lives too. I have also been working for United Nations as an Indian Representative for almost more than 1.5 years.
