Organises a Workshop on "Research Methodology in Social Sciences"
Introduction |
|
The
Indian Council of Social Science Research, an autonomous
organisation, was established by the Government of India
in 1969 and ever since, its role and functions have constantly
been growing. The Council functions through a system of
programme divisions at its headquarters in New Delhi and
a network of six Regional Centres at Mumbai, Kolkata, Chandigarh,
Hyderabad, New Delhi and Shillong.
The Council has set
up, in collaboration with respective state governments,
six Regional Centres as part of its programme of decentralizing
|
administration and broad-basing social science
research.
The Western Regional Centre was established with the approval of the Government
of Maharashtra in January 1973 in collaboration with the University of Mumbai on
the new campus of the University at Vidyanagari. It consists of three buildings -
a wing of the Jawaharlal Nehru Library (1976), the ICSSR Hostel building (1976) and
the J P Naik Bhavan (1983). The ICSSR Conference Hall is located on the ground floor
of the J P Naik Bhavan.
The major objectives of the Centre are - the promotion
of research in social sciences, the imparting of training in research methodology to
those aspiring to undertake research and the exposure of young social scientists and
researchers to the benefit of the expert knowledge of specialists not only from the
western region but also from the rest of India and abroad.
