Anand Institute of Social Work (AISW), set up in 2004, under the aegis of Shri Ramkrishna Seva Mandal is affiliated to Sardar Patel University, Vallabh Vidyanagar.

The objective of the institute is to train students in social work profession which has been found more relevant in the current times. Development has claimed its victims. Our lives have been prone to various natural and man-made disasters. To survive, sustain, grow and develop, it has become imperative to have professional education. The University Grants Commission, while reframing the educational programme of social work profession, states that curriculum activity for social work profession cannot be viewed in isolation as the goals of the profession are derived from social realities. The theories and concepts, support understanding of the social phenomenon and work therein. These include the level of development in the country, the condition and the activities of social systems-that is, all that happens to individuals, families, groups, communities and the services available to them to meet their basic needs. The professional values underline and serve to direct activities towards these goals.
