1956), popularly known as Babasaheb, was an Indian jurist, economist, politician and social reformer who Chaired the Drafting Committee of the Constituent Assembly and was India's First Minister for Law and Justice. As an idealist thinker, he emphasized upon the nobility and fairness of the methods in social and political reconstruction.Dr. B R Ambedkar has included revolutionary concepts such as sovereign, socialistic, secular, democratic, republic, justice, liberty, equality, fraternity, dignity, unity and integrity in the preamble of the Indian Constitution.Dr. B R Ambedkars commitment and dedication to service and justice has made an exceptional model for the social sciences profession. Dr. B R Ambedkars principals and practices are harmonized remarkably with the principals and techniques of professional social work. His ethical theory primarily focuses on service to others and social justice. A number of scholars are of the opinion that Dr. B R Ambedkars work is something of a reaffirmation of the basic tenet of social work philosophy that man is an object of infinite worth and there exists compatibility between the philosophy of Dr. B R Ambedkar and the values underlying Social Sciences. The principal element of Dr. B R Ambedkars significance lies in framing of the Indian Constitution as the Chair person of the drafting committee of the constitution which aimed at changing the very basis of the whole social and economic order by his inclusion of concerns for racial, gender and class justice, empowerment of people, overcoming of poverty and development of a culture that promotes a healthy human development. This developments and empowerment approaches in social work with its emphasis on social
behavior. This strikes a similarity with Social Sciences.
Dr. B R Ambedkars idea of social work is basically concerned with the reconstruction of society based on Social Justice and Human Rights and with welfare, development and empowerment of all, the last and the lowest, as it end. Its objective would naturally be to find out the basic
causes and conditions out of which arise all social problems.
Hence, B R Ambedkars thoughts as a guide for service to others and the pursuit of social justice are complementary to social work practice and theory. However, Social work scholars and practitioners have given limited attention to the Dr. B R Ambedkars principles as a source of theory building. Hence there is a need to revisit, relearn and reconstruct Dr. B R Ambedkars thought as it offers a rich depository of knowledge for study and exploration by the social work practitioners and theorists. Keeping this framework in mind, Faculty of Social Work has organized a National Seminar on 6-7 December 2016 under the ages of Dr. B R Ambedkars chair sponsored by Government of India. The event is funded by Dr.B.R Ambedkars Chair, Faculty of Social Work, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara.
