Tata Institute Of Social Sciences

About TISS:

The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) was established in 1936, as the Sir

Dorabji Tata Graduate School of Social Work. The first school of social work in

India, TISS was a pioneering effort with the objective of Social Welfare through

academic excellence, a characteristic of the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (SDTT). Its

establishment was the result of the decision of the Trustees of the SDTT to

accept Dr. Clifford Manshardt’s vision of a post-graduate school of social work of

national stature 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 recognized as a Deemed University by the University

Grants Commission (UGC) of India.
