I have seen some people using 'Social Worker' against their names on visiting cards etc.,
My question is - how to obtain 'social Worker' status? By acquiring any qualification or some other ways? I want to know. Please guide me.

There is no legal definition or method to become such 'worker'.
If you do anything for the society at arge then you would be termed as such.
However you may form a society and do public activities which can be termed as aactivities as well.

social worker tag does not come with any qualification or experience or visiting card.service to man is service to god.if you believe in such ideals,serve people around you on every day,every way and on as many occasions in as many ways as possible .any type of help to the needy.
as swamy vivekananda said,"to wipe out every tear from every eye is the highest form of socialism.".help need not mean money. even sympathy,kind words,gestures will also be social service.
what the society gave you, you are giving back to the society .kind heart ,sincere attitude,genuine concern is all we need to serve others without any expectation in return. this will be eventually recognised by all those around you.very soon you will be an able social worker.-care for others......

Social worker is not a designation or a degree.
If any body is spending their time and money, for the well being and uplift of the society and public, he is called a social worker.
His activities itself will show that he is a social worker or not.

Agreed with all the experts.
If you wish to channelize the activities and form a non-profitable organisation there are methods for forming such NGOs. NGOs means non-government organisations working for society. Initially better to join hands with some good NGO which actually serves the society and then think of forming your own organisation. I am here to guide you.

Dear Mr. Bhat,
If someone uses the term 'Social Worker' against his name on visiting cards, he cannot necessarily be a social worker. In most cases, such lable is used just to get some vain recognition in public or administration irrespective of whether he is a social worker or not.
The real social worker need not add the tag of a 'social worker,' as people readily recognize him from his services and deeds dedicated towards social welfare.
Just try to be helpful to common people in the society near you, you automatically gain the status of a social worker.
To add to your expertise and qualification you can take up subjects like Introduction to Social Work, applied sociology, Social Psychology, etc.
Normally a social worker is a type of person, who is always ready to volunteer himself as far as possible for the help of people in trouble anywhere and everywhere.

Thanks Mr. P.S. Dhingra, for your comments/suggestions. While your entire response to my query was sufficient for me to understand the subject 'Social Worker', I am very much impressed with the second and third paragraph.
With regards,

I agree and endorse Mr.Dingra's opinion. The social worker tag, no doubt a qualification acquired through any educations institution or conferred by any one to anyone, it is commonly misused for personal and selfish motives. The money spent now on such advertisements are actually investment for extracting returns in manifold in the future.
