Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS)–MUMBAI

Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS)–MUMBAI

Introduction

The Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, was born out of the vision of a Christian missionary Dr Clifford Manshardt and the philanthropic mission of a business house, the Tatas. The Institute was started in 1936 as the Dorabji Tata Graduate School of Social Work for professional training in social work, in the premises of the Nagpada Neighborhood House in the city of Mumbai (then Bombay).

In 1944, the Dorabji Tata Graduate School of Social Work was renamed as the Tata Institute of Social Sciences. The present campus of the Institute in Deonar (Mumbai) was opened on October 6. The year 1964 was an important landmark in the history of the institute, when it was recognized as a Deemed University by the University Grants Commission. Since then the institute has been expanding continuously in both educational programmes and infrastructure. It has responded to the changing needs of the social and educational system in the country and has gone far beyond the initial concern of social work education. Thus, what started as a small institution offering postgraduate diploma in social work, grew up into a university and diversified its activities.

The institute has earned the recognition as an institution of repute from different ministries of Government of India, various state governments, international agencies like the United Nations and the non-government sector, both national and international.
