Published every January, April, July and October, the TISS entered its 77th year of uninterrupted publishing, a record in journal publishing, in 2016. The first issue of the IJSW was brought out in June 1940. It focussed on two aspects of Child Welfare - Children in Industry and Juvenile Delinquency. The main objectives of the IJSW are to: cater to the need for literature on social work, and be a medium of dissemination of indigenous work being carried out in the country.
