Tata Institute of Social Sciences:
An Introduction
The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) was established in 1936, as the Sir Dorabji Tata Graduate School of Social Work to meet the
emerging need for trained human service professionals. Accorded the status of a Deemed University in 1964, and funded by the University
Grants Commission (UGC) since then, it is an Institute of national stature today.
Since its inception, the TISS has consistently worked for the promotion of sustainable, equitable and participatory development, social welfare,
and social justice. It has earned recognition as an institution of repute from different Ministries of the Government of India (GoI); State Governments; international agencies, such as the United Nations; and the non-government sector, both national and international.
A high degree of freedom and autonomy shape the positive work ethos and creativity in the Institute facilitating strong linkages between education,
research, field action and dissemination. In recognition of its social contribution and academic excellence, it was awarded a 5-Star rating by
NAAC in 2002. In 2009, TISS was reaccredited by NAAC and awarded a Grade ‘A’ with a score of 3.88 out of 4.
The 2011–2012 academic year is the Platinum Jubilee year for TISS.
