    Introduction

    wrc

    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.
