that would engage in a continuous study of Indian social issues and problems
and impart education in social work to meet the emerging need for trained human
power. This subsequently influenced the direction of social work education and
social research in India.
In 1944, the Sir Dorabji Tata Graduate School of Social Work was renamed as the
Tata Institute of Social Sciences. The year 1964 was an important landmark in
the history of the Institute, when it was recognised as a Deemed University by
the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India.
Since then, the TISS has been expanding continuously in terms of educational
programmes and infrastructure. While responding to the changing needs of the
social and educational system in the country, the Institute has gone far beyond
the initial concern of social work education. Thus, what started as a small
institution offering a post-graduate diploma in Social Work, grew into a Deemed
University and, as a result, diversified its activities.
Since its inception in 1936, the Tata Institute of Social Sciences has never
limited itself to the mandate of a conventional university; rather, it has
worked for the promotion of sustainable, equitable and participatory
development, social welfare and social justice.
