Assertion (A) : The third review committee set up by UGC in 2001 on social work education published a model curriculum for social work education. However, adoption to this model curriculum by schools/colleges of social work in India is very slow.

The correct answer is

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

Assertion (A) is true. The UGC set up a Review Committee on Social Work Education in 2001, the third such committee after those of 1965 and 1980, and it produced a model curriculum for social work education. Many schools and colleges of social work have been slow to adopt it fully.

Reason (R) is also true. Unlike medicine, law or engineering, social work in India has no statutory council or single regulating body that licenses practitioners, accredits institutions or enforces a common curriculum. UGC model curricula are therefore only recommendatory.

R explains A. With no implementing or regulating organisation to make the model curriculum binding or monitor its adoption, each institution follows its own syllabus, and uptake stays slow.

Hence, the answer is Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
