ECONOMIC development of a country is usually accompanied by expansion of knowledge. Britain and America, being the previous and present leaders of the developed capitalist countries respectively, also occupied the leading position in the various branches of knowledge. Thus, in the spread of western education in the third world countries, British and American influence is very prominent. Britain, being the past colonial master and America, being the present mentor of most of the third world countires, further facilitated this process. Professional social work education in India, which primarily followed the American model is not an exception in this regard. The present paper attempts to explore the nature of this American influence on social work education in India. The paper consists of two sections. The first section attempts to document American influence on the professional social work education in India. The second section discusses the impact of American influence on social work education in India
