Composition of the ICSSR

1.02 The ICSSR, which is an autonomous organization established by the Government oflndia in 1969, is composed of 26 members : A Chairman, 18 Social Scientists, six repre­sentatives of the Government (all nominated by the Govern­ment) and a Member-Secretary {appointed by the ICSSR with the approval of the Government).

1.03 During the year under review, the term of office of (1) Dr. M.S. Swaminathan, (2) Professor Ramkrishna Mukherjee, (3) Professor D.M. Nanjundappa (4) Professor Satish Chandra (5) Professor C. Chakraborthy and (6) Professor R.S. Sharma came to and. The Government renominated Dr. M.S. Swaminathan, Dr. D.M. Nanjundappa and Professor Ramkrishna Mukherjee and appointed Professor Mrinal Datta Chaudhry, Professor A.R. Kulkarni and Professor S. Maqbul Ahmed against the remaining three vacancies. Dr. Amlesh Tripathi was nominated in place of Justice Krishna Aiyar.

1.04 Professor T.N. Madan took over as the Member­Secretary of the ICSSR on 16 May 1978 in place of Shri J.P. Naik who retired on 31 March 1978.

1.05 The composition of the ICSSR as on 31 March 1979 is given in Appendix I.

Programmes

1.06 The programmes of the ICSSR fall into the following broad categories :

(1) Research Promotion

(2) Documentation (3) Publications (4) Data Archives

2

(5) International Collaboration (6) Research Institutes (7) Regional Centres; and (8) Other Programmes. These are described in the subsequent chapters.

Advisory Role

1.07 During the year under review, the ICSSR advised the Government of India on 21 research proposals of foreign social scientists who desired to conduct studies in India. The Ministry of Education and Social Welfare forwarded 56 proposals of foreign researchers to the ICSSR for evaluation and comment. The ICSSR has no financial liability in connection with such proposals and such scholars.

Exemption from Income Tax

1.08 The ICSSR has been designated by the Government of India as the prescribed authority to advise it on approval of institutions/organizations for exemption from Income Tax under section 35(i) (iii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. On the recommendation of the ICSSR, such exemption was granted during the year under review to institutions/organizations listed in•Appendix 2.

The Second Review Committee

1.09 The Council constituted in August 1977 a Second Review Committee consisting of the following : Professor V.M. Dandekar (Chairman), Dr. Ramkrishna Mukherjee, Dr. Samuel Paul, Dr. G. Ram Reddy and Dr. V.A. Pai Panandiker (Member-Secretary). The terms of reference to the Committee were : (i) to review the work of the ICSSR during the last 10 years ['and especially during the Fifth Five-Year Plan; and (ii) to make proposals for the development of the work and programmes of the ICSSR over the next 10 years and especially during the Sixth Five-Year Plan.

3

1.10 The Committee submitted its report on 5 August 1978.

1.11 Observing that the establishmeiit of the Indian Council of Social Science Research had been one the impor­tant landmarks in the development of social sciences in India, the Committee summed up its evaluation of the functioning of Council in the following words : "Its work in the past nine years has fully justified its establishment. Its functioning during this period has been on the whole satisfactory and in onr opinion it has made a significant contribution to the development of social science research in the country. Above all, it has created a forum for the social scientists in the country to meet, communicate, and address themselves to­their social responsibilities."

1.12 The major thrust of the recommendations made by the Review Committee is as follows : (1) the ICSSR must take­steps to broaden the base of social science research in the country and to this purpose e111ist the active cooperation of not only established university departments and institutes but also of social scientists generally; (2) the ICSSR should support particularly such research in established univer­sity departments and institutes as is likely to deepen the content of social sciences; (3} the ICSSR should develop essentially as a scientific body and should function in that style. This will require a large measure of autonomy, which should be explicitly granted to it. Finally, the 1CSSR should aim at building up a sizable endowment fund without \Vhicb. it will not be able to secure a degree of financial independence necessary for its long-term development.

1.13 Towards these, several specific recommendations were made by the Committee. These included expansion of channels of communication to reach scholars outside established institu­tions, establishment of state centres, liberalization of grants but rigorous scrutiny of research proposals and applications for­feltowr.;hips, steps to ensure completion of projects undertaken~ and reorganization of the administrative structure of the Council to infuse into it greater efficiency and an .academic content. The Committee broadly approved the various programmes, but recommended discontinuance of certain pro-

4

grammes like publication grants, doctoral fellowships, sponsored research, and direct publication of specialized journals.

L 14 The recommendations of the Second Review Committee were discussed by the Council at its meetings held on 23 and 24 August, 1 December 1978 and 16 March 1979. in recognition of the objectives of the ICSSR to fund, facili· tate and stimulate research among social scientists, the Council approved many of the suggestions of the Committee and its major decisions are as follows : to pay special attention to areas which are of special relevance in terms of current and foreseeable problems and to make efforts to encourage the utilization of research; to expand the network of communica· tion with social scientists; to utilize facilities available in the universities/research institutions for promotion of research, to provide guidance for research; to encourage new researchers; to support research based on recorded data and take nll.p translation of social science literature in major Indian ~anguages; to raise the ceiling for research grants; to create panels of consultants; to tighten the scrutiny of projects; to liberalize the rules governing fellowships; to continue to provide grants to research institutes on matching basis subject to a ceiling of Rs. 7.5 lakhs for recurring and Rs. 25 lakhs for non-recurring exp:!nses, to develop existing research ; institutes and establish new ones in areas that need social science research !base; to reorganize the programme of Area Studies as Inter· national Collaboration and shift focus to Asia; to decentra­lize its fun:tions; and to reorganize the secretariat of the Council.

1.15 Efforts are being made to implement these decisions.

Sixth Five Year Plan

U 6 A tentative allocation of Rs. 1,104 lakhs has been' :approved by the Planning Commission for the Sixth Five Year \Plan (1978· 79 to 1982-83) of the Council. In the Fifth Plan the .outlay was Rs. 748 lakhs.

Research Promotion

2.01 The most important responsibility of the ICSSR is to promote research in social sciences. A number of schemes are being pursued to fulfil this responsibility.

Survey of Research in Social Sciences

2.02 A major project undertaken by the ICSSR soon after its inception, was to conduct a survey of research in social

. sciences (covering broadly the period up to 1969) with a view to identifying trends and research gaps, deter­mining priorities and selecting programmes for special promo­tional effort in the future. The surveys in Accounting Theory (one volume), Demography (one volume), Economics (five

6

volumes out of a total of seven), Geography (one volume), Management (two volumes), Psychology (one volume), Public Administration (two volumes), and Sociology and Social Anthropology (three volumes) were published by the end of 1977-78.

2.03 During the year, the seventh volume in Economics, A Survey of Research in Economics,- Vol. VII : Econometrics was published. One more volume in Economics and the first volume in Political Science were in press, and four volumes in'Political Science were under finalization.

Research Surveys : Second Series

2.04 The ICSSR decided, as part of its programme for the Fifth and Sixth Five Year Plans, to . continue this scheme of research surveys beyond 1969 and to bring out a second series. The work accomplished till the end of 1978-79 is as follows:

Psychology

2.05 The second volume, in continuation of the earlier survey edited by Professor Udai Pareek, is in press.

Geo.graplty

2.06 The second volume (1969-72) in continuation of the earlier survey, edited by Professor Moonis Raza, is also in press. The volume for the period 1973-75 is being edited by ProfessorS. Manzoor A lam and is under finalization.

Socielogy and Social Anthropology

2.07 A second survey of research in Sociology and Spcial Anthropology has been commissioned and the reports are under preparation under the editorship of Professor J.V. Ferreira.

Public Administration

2.08 Professor Kuldip Mathur was appointed editor of the second survey.

7

Management

2.09 Professor B.L Maheshwari was appointed editor .of the second survey.

Physical Geography

2.10 A Survey of Research in Physical Geography covering the period 1968-77 has been taken up under the joint auspices .of the ICSSR and the CSIR. A number of papers covering the various sub-fields under this major field have been commiss­ioned. The report is expected to be finalized fand ready for printing by the end of December 1979 under the editorship of Professor C. D. Deshpande.

Other Research Surveys

2.11 The ICSSR has commissioned a set of studies on ~'Inequality with Special Reference to Indian Conditions". The coordinator of this survey is Professor Andre Beteille of the University of Delhi.

2.12 The survey commissioned on "Educational and Social Change in India with Special Reference to the Post-l11depen­.dence Period" was completed by Professor M.S.A. Rao of the University of Delhi. Arrangements have been made for its publication.

2.13 An "Annotated and Classified Bibliography oflndian Demography" was completed by Professor P.B. Desai of the Institute of Economic Growth. It is in1:press and is likely to be published by December 1979.

2.14 A survey of research on "Criminology" has been commissioned under the supervision of Dr. D.P. Jatar, Depart­ment of Criminology and Forensic Sciences, Saugar University, Sagar.

Research Projects

2.15 Sanctioning of Research Projects is the principle method used by the ICSSR for promotion of research.

2.16 At the beginning of the ryear, 156 research proposals were pending for decision. During the year 283 research

8

proposals were received. Of these 429, 131 were sanctioned (see Appendix 3); 96 were rejected or recorded for some other reasons and 202 were still under consideration at the end of the year under review.

2.17 Completed reports of 75 research projects were received during the year (see Appendix 5). The progress of the research projects sanctioned ti111977-78 is shown below :

Sponsored Research Programmes

10 44

2.22 The original proposal included in the Fifth Five Year Plan was to develop 15 programmes of sponsored research. The experience of the first three years of the Fifth Plan, however, showed ·that this was too ambitious a target and that the ICSSR did not have the financial or organizational resour­ces for the purpose. Moreover, it was also doubtful whether it would be possible to mount large-scale and intensive pro­grammes on an inter-disciplinary basis in all the 15 selected areas. It was, therefore, decided to concentrate efforts on a few programmes only, not more than five or six at a time. From this point of a view a decision was taken to discontinue some sponsored research programmes which had already been initiated or to merge them with others and also to go slow]in starting new programmes.

2.23 The progress of the programmes of sponsored research initiated during the earlier years and continued during the year under review has been briefly described in the paragraphs that follow.

Poverty and Unemployment

2.24 No further projects were sanctioned under this sponsored programme during 1978-79. The Ad,visory

11

Committee recommended the setting up of a Documentation­cum-Clearing House Centre at the Western Regional Centre of the ICSSR, Bombay. Professor M. L. Dantwala has agreed to coordinate the activities of this Centre.

Integrated Area Development

2.25 No further studies were sanctioned under this sponsored area. The report by Dr. Baldev Singh on "Integra­ted Local Level Planning for the Development of a Viable Agro-Industrial Settlements" was received and accepted by the Council. The other reports are expected to be completed by next year.

Public Distribution System

2.26 No new studies were sanctioned during this year.

Rural Development Programme

2.27 The Rural Development Programme was further developed on a priority basis during the year under review.

2.28 Two reports have been completed and received. 2.29 The Sub-Committee on Rural Industrialization con­

sidered the preparation of three survey papers on the theme of rural industrialization. Of these, one study was sanctioned during the year.

2.30 The Advisory Committee on Rural Development had recommended a series of state studies on the "Dynamics of Rural Transformation'', based on the pattern of the study conducted by Professor C. T. Kurien on Tamil Nadu. Eight states have been identified and the studies are likely to start in June 1979. The scholars and the states chosen for the study are given below :

(1) Ajit Kumar Singh-Uttar Pradesh (1951-76) (2) M.A. Oommen-Kerala 1951-76 (3) Kanta Ahuja (Smt.)-Rajasthan 1.953-78 (4) K.S. Upadhyay-Andhra Pradesh 1956-76 (5) R.S. Rao-Orissa (6) N. Bandyopadhyay-West Bengal 1951-75 (7) L.S. Venkataramanan-Karnataka 1956-76

(8) G.I<.. Chadha-Punjab

12

2.31 One of the recommendations of the Advisory Committee was to promote micro-studies costing up to Rs. 5,000 to be carried out by younger researchers not widely known. This programme was taken up and 18 such studies were sanctioned during the year under review. This programme has not only helped in involving younger researchers, but has helped in linking ICSSR activities with field level workers. Of these, one was completed and the report was received during the year.

2.32 The following four seminars were organized/supported under this programme at various places.

(1) Seminar on "Action Research", at Lonavala, in October 1978.

(2) "The All India Convention of People's Science Move· ments'', organized by the Kerala Shastra Sahitya Pari shad,· at Trivandrum.

(3) A workshop on "Studies in the Dynamics of Rural Transformation'', organized at Madras, in December 1978.

( 4) "Meeting of Field Level Activities", to discuss their current problems, organized at Raipur, in March 1979.

Programme of Women's Studies

2.33 The Programme of Women's Studies was continued during the year.

2.34 Under this programme 16 projects were sanctioned. The second annual award of four doctoral fellowships were made. These are included in Appendix 3 and 4 respectively.

2.35 Fourteen projects were completed during this year, and interim reports are received on three on-going projects. These are listed in Appendix 5.

2.36 Four publications were brought out under this pro· gramme during the year. These are included in the chapter on pub! ications.

2.37 The Council participated in the symposium on "Women and Development" in the Xth International Congress

of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences held at New Delhi from 10 to 16 December 1978. The IUAES Commi~sion on Women requested the unit on Women's Studies to organize

13

a symposium on "Women and Development". Two sessions were held and eleven papers were presented.

2.38 Preparatory work was done for the Conference of the Non-aligned Developing Countries on ''Role of Women in Development" to be held in May 1979. On the request of the Government of India, the ICSSR's unit on Women's Studies assisted the Department of Social Welfare in the preparation bf papers and documentation work for the Conference. The Council sponsored 14 studies which included case studies on the impact of rural and other development measures on women, as well as macro· level analysis of work participation, education and migration data. In addition, overview papers were commissioned. Of these, complete reports were received for nine projects and interim reports were received for three.

2.39 Eight overview papers were completed during the year under review. They are :

(l) Lotika Sarkar, National Development Policies: Impact of Legal Reform Measures on Women.

(2) Vina Mazumdar, The Evolution of National Strategies in order that Women may Attain Opportunities and Responsibilities.

Governmental Systems and Development

2.41 The sponsored programme on "Governmental Systems and Development" was initiated on the basis of the recommendations of lhe first ICSSR Review Committee headed by Dr. M.S. Adiseshiah (1973-74) and was taken up on a priority basis during 1976-77. Dr. V.A. Pai Panandiker, Direc­tor, Centre for Policy Research, New Delhi, was requested to prepare a working paper, which was accepted by the Research Committee at its fifty-second meeting. An Advisory Committee for the program111e was constituted under the convener· ship of Dr. Pai Panandiker to develop and formulate a pro· gramme of reseai'ch in the area. The Council extended financial assistance to meet secretarial, research and travel expenses for developing the programme. The Committee took up an indepth study and as a result of this, seven projects have been approved so far, of which three were sanctioned during the year under review.

2.42 Dr. Panandiker is developing and formulating more research projects in the area. The Council had sanctioned an amount of Rs. 30,000 for research and secretarial assistance for the period March 1977 through November 1978. An

15

amount of Rs. 11,000 has also been sanctioned to meet the expenses on the programme from December 1978 onwards.

Major Projects

Agrarian Structure, Tensions, Movements and Peasant Organi­zations in India

2.43 This is a collaborative effort by four major funding agencies, viz., The Planning Commission, the National Labour Institute and the ICSSR. The project will consist of seven state reports for Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal, and one central report to be prepared by the National Labour Institute where the project is housed. The interim reports for all the states have been prepared and discussed. The final report is expected to be ready by the end of October 1979.

Indian Economy since Independence

2.44 Under this project a substantial review of the Indian economy since independence is planned in four volumes : Review, Statistics, Policy and Legislation. It is estimated to cost Rs. 7,00,000 and is proposed to be completed in three years. It is located at the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, Pune, under the directorship of Professor V.M. Dandekar. It is progressing satisfactorily.

Historical Statistics of India

2.45 The work relating to the project is divided into two phases. In the ftrst, all the available historical statistics of India up to I 947 will be brought together, arranged, edited with notes and published in a single volume. The first phase will cost Rs. 3,57,000 and is expected to be completed in two years. It is being coordinated by the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, Pune.

Analysis and Utilization of Census and Related Data 1872-1971

2.46 This project was sanctioned by the. ICSSR in 1974 but tbe actual five year study began only from March 1975.

Studies in Urbanization

2.49. The programme taken up during 1976-77 was

17

continued during the year. Five research projects and four fellowships have been awarded under this programme. No new studies were sanctioned during the year.

2. 50. The Advisory Committee has prepared a major project for the study of housing for the poor :in a few selected cities. This was proposed to be taken up as a major project in 1978-79. Meanwhile it is proposed to discontinue this programme as a separate activity.

Problems of Indian Youth

2.51. The Programme was taken up as a priority area for developing a major project during 1977-78 in pursuance of the recommendations contained in the 79th Report of the Esti­mates Committee (5th Lok Sabha). It was proposed to un­dertake an indepth study of youth in the age group of 15-25 covering social, economic, educational, cultural and recrea­tional aspects. An Advisory Committee to plan and direct research on youth problems was constituted. During 1977 the Committee met twice under th~ convenership of Professor Amar Kumar Singh, Ranchi University, and recommended the following steps : ( 1) preparatiotl of theme~oriented review papers which would focus on the existing literature on rele­vant themes and point out gaps and suggest possible areas of research; (2) holdmg of regional seminars on problems of Indian youth in six places in India ; (3) preparation of a research proposal for a national collaborative research pro· ject in India; (4) award of doctoral, post-doctoral and short-term fellowships for study of problems of youth; and (5) publication of suitable research reports on Indian youth.

2.52. Seventeen review papers on various aspects of the problems of Indian youth were commissioned. During the year, five review papers were received.

2.53. Six regional seminars on "Problems of Indian Youtb" were organized at the following places during 1977-78 : (i) Bombay, (ii) Chandigarh, (iii) Hyderabad, (iv) Lucknow, (v) Patna, and (vi) Shillong. In 1978 one special seminar on

tribal and rural youth was organized at Udaipur.

Alternatives in Development

2.54. The main effort under the programme during the year has been to create a new awareness of its importance among the academic community. Efforts in this direction included : (1) organizing national and intensive debate on the problem; (2) identifying social scientists and others who are interested in the problem and extension of research support to them; (3) making special etfort to identify young persons interested in the programme and help them to develop their interests further; and (4} exploring the possibilities of creating a few groups of deeply interested and competent persons to undertake continuing studies on different aspects of the problem. The ICSSR also approacl1ed many eminent social scientists to write monographs ~n selected themes.

2. 55 . The other studies under the programme are pro­gressing satisfactorily. The following is a brief account of the progress of the major studies that are being carried out under the programme.

Alternatives in Agriculture

2.56. The study on "Alternatives in Agricultural Deve­lopment" undertaken by the ICSSR working group under the Chairmanship of Professor S. Chakravarty has been completed and the report has been prepared. Professor S. N. Misra was the Member-Secretary of the Working Group.

v Data Archives

Data Inventory

5.01 During the year under review, the Data Archives Committee took certain important decisions to further strengthen the programme. The major thrust of the programme so far had been to acquire and organize data sets for re-use by interes­ted research scholars. It has now been decided that the cause of the programme will be better served if the Data Archives collects and disseminates information about the nature, cove­rage, and the quality of existing data available with research institutions, university departments and governmental agencies in the country. Steps have been initiated to prepare an inven­tory of data available with the research institutions.

· Acquisition of Data Sets

5.02 The Council is now trying to encourage and support both financially and otherwise social science research institutions in the organization of data collected by them in machine­readable form. It does not, therefore, lay heavy emphasis on the acquisition of data sets from research institutions and governmental agencies. However, the ICSSR Data Archives continues to acquire and organize data generated by the pro­jects financed by the ICSSR, particularly if the project directors do not have adequate institutional facilities for preserving and organizing these data sets in proper form.

5.03 Under this scheme the following data sets have been acquired during the year:

(1) M.Z. Khan, The Problem of Drug Addiction among the College{ University Students in Jabalpur Town.

(2) G.K. Mishra, .Distribution and Differential Location of Public Utilities in Urban Delhi.

(3) M.K. Premi, Outmigrating Towns : A Study into the Nature, Causes and Consequences of Outmigration.

(4) A.K. Sinha, Mental Health in University Students. (5) G.K. Dalaya (Smt.), Slum and Social Change : A Case

Stud)! of a Metropolitan Slum.

31

(6) C. Rajagopalan, Social Mobility among the Scheduled Castes.

(7) T.S. Saraswathi (Smt.), Age, Sex, and Social Differ­ences in the Development of Moral Judgment in Indian Children Aged 10-15 Years.

5.04 The following previously acquired data sets were returned to the respective Project Directors on their demand.

(!) C. K. Johri, Labour Mobility and Wage Structure: A Regional Study.

(2) S.P. Sinha, Economic Analysis of the Rural Structure of North Bihar: A Special Reference to Gandak Valley Region.

Guidance and Consultancy Services in Data Archives

5.05 This scheme has been initiated by the Data Archives especially to assist researchers in tackling their problems of data processing and analyses. The scheme covers the following areas:

( l) Devising of code books/card designs; (2) Selection of appropriate research techniques for

analysis of the collected data; (3) Programming assistance/machine processing of data. 5.06 Presently 1he facilities are available at the following

institutions : (1) Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, 29,

Rajpur Road, Delhi. (2) Sardar Patel Institute of Economic and Social

Research, Post Box-4062, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad. (3) Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, Pune. (4) Centre for Development Studies, Aakulam Road,

Ulloor, Trivandrum. (5) Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Deonar, Sion·

Trombay Road, Bombay. (6) Centre for Social Research, Nanpura, Surat (7) ICSSR Data Archives, 35, Ferozshah Road, New

National Register of Social Scientists in India

5.08 As indicated in the previous report, the first phase of the project on the compilation of the National Register of Social Scientists in India has been completed and the report is ready. It was decided to get the report evaluated before publication. A decision has also been taken to collect information on the remaining social scientists on a regular basis and maintain the entire information for reference purposes. With the close cooperatiem of the National Infor­mation Centre, Department of Electronics, most of the infor­mation on social scientists have been organized in machine­readable form.

5.09 · During the period under review about I ,500 social scientists were contacted. Out of these, about 450 have returned information in the prescribed proforma.

VI

International Collaboration

6.0J In ;mrsuance of .its policy of promoting research on other countries and closer contacts between Indian and overseas social scientists, the ICSSR has decided to combine all activities pertaining to this under one composite programme of International Collaboration. Therefore, Area . Studies as a separate programme does not appear in this report.

6.02 The major: thrust of the present programme of International Collaboration is to build up research collabo­ration between India and the Third World countries, more specifically, with the neighbouring countries of Asia. The programme is envisaged to develop in three broad direc­tions :

(I) that social science research on the Third World should be primarily subject or problem-oriented and not· based on the area approach;

... (2) that. collaboration between the ICSSR and other ~;:ountries whether thrc.>ugh their national councils or

33

international agencies, must be operative more on a regional basis than on the bilateral level;

(3) that the ICSSR's participation in Cultural Exchange Programme signed by the Government of India with other countries must be entirely determined by the ICSSR on its own consideration in terms of its prio­rity and other objectives.

6.03 While most of the major on-going activities as reported previously are still being used to implement the present programme of International Collaboration the Coun­cil has decided to drop the scheme of Extended Stay Abroad, and the Indian Journal of Asian Studies as recom­mended by the Second Review Committee.

6.04 The Committee on International Collaboration advises the Council on the implementation of the programmes. The list of the members of the Committee is given in Appendix 8.

Indian Association of Research and Training Institute in Social Sciences

9.15 The proposal for forming an Indian Association of Research and Training Institutes in Social Sciences was considered at a meeting of social scientists held at the India International Centre, New Delhi, on 30 March 1978. A Steering Committee under the Chairmanship of Shri Tarlok Singh was also constituted to give the proposed association a final shape. The ICSSR in collaboration with the Chairman of this Steering Committee convened a meeting of distinguished

60

social scientists from all over the country to consider the proposal that an Indian Association of Research and Training Institutes be formed to provide a forum to meet and share the common experience and other information relating to research and training needs, priorities in social sciences, and social aspects of science and technology with special emphasis on economic and social development and platming. The two meetings were held on 16 and 17 October 1978.

Financing of Social Science Research in India 1974-75 to

1977·78

9.19 The ICSSR has sponsored this study with a view to enabling the Council to fulfH its role of coordination of research activities in social sciences and also to perform clearing house functions in relation to social science research.

9.20 The objectives of the study are to identify the various agencies/organizations/institutions, which provide financial assistance for and/ or undertake research in social sciences and to analyse the procedures and patterns adopted by various agencies for providing financial support for the pur· pose. On the basis of th-e information thus colle~ted, the ICSSR proposes, among other things, to compile directories of institutions/organizations concerned with social science research.

9.21 A Research Advisory Committee consisting of ten social scientists, planners and those concerned with research in social sciences has been constituted to provide overall guidance for carrying out the study. The progress of the study is briefly reviewed below.

9.22 Departments of the central and state governments, funding agencies, research institutions/organizations and international organizations concerned with carrying out and( or funding research in social sciences have been identified.

9.23 All. the scheduled banks, industrial and commer· cial houses (having a paid-up capital of over Rs. 50 lakhs)

63

have b(l,en requested to provide information on the extent of their contribution to social science research. .

9.24 A workshop was organized in August 1978 to finalize the various proformae for administering to various institutions and research organizations, etc. This workshop was attended by experts and academics drawn from various institutions/ specialized bodies. Based on the recommendations made in the workshop, the proformae were devised for eliciting data from the research institutions/organizations, international organizations, central and state government departments and specialized funding bodies.

9.25 The proformae have been administered to different research organizations. The data received from these insti­tutions/organizations are being examined. To seek further clarifications, personal discussions are being held with the responding institutions wherever necessary.

9.26. It is intended that, besides compiling directories of institutions/organizations concerned with social science research, the study will give interpretative insight into the various research agencies with particular reference to their financial management, research trends, administrative set-up and grant-in-aid procedures. For facilitating quick reference it is proposed to transfer basic information about research institutions/organizations into reference cards to be maintained in the ICSSR.

and dissemination of research results in the area of rural deve­lopment, decentralization and democracy. Three basic objec· tives underlie the proposed programme.lThese are : the concept and implementation of the principle of decentralization in India; the formulation of the concept of rural development as a means of organizing ecological, habitational and socio· economic patterns (such a perspective does not exclude urban and even metropolitan development but seeks to integrate them into an overall framework of social dispersal and economic and political devolution); and a proper understanding of the role of voluntary agencies in such a development and the forging of mechanisms for enabling the voluntary agencies engaged in development activities to exchange their experience, commu· nicate with each other, learn from each other's experience as weJI as from the experiences of official agencies, and co­ordinate all such activities for better performance of overall .objectives.

The Centre in collaboration with the Council for Social Development has negotiated with the Danish Centre for Development Research, which will provide the funds, for a project on "Block Level Planning for Employment Generation and Feasibility Studies" in two blocks each in two districts of Karnataka and West Bengal. The reseatch proposal awaits the approval of the Government of India.

Seminars/Workshops

A monthly seminar dealing primarily with the problems related to the Tamil Nadu economy and society has been a regular feature of tile Institute from its early stages and the sessions of these seminars have continued regularly throughout the year.

Another regular feature of the Institute has been an Inter· disciplinary Workshop on Research Methodology bringing together social scientists from the southern universities: The Eighth Social Science Interdisciplinary Workshop on Research Methodology was held in Kottayam from 20 to 23 May 1978 with "VHlage Studies" as its theme.

Every year in December the Institute has also been bringing together Heads of Departments of social sciences from the southern universities to discuss problems pertaining to teaching and research in social sciences in the southern universities. The Eighth Meeting of the Heads of Departments of social sciences was held at the Institute between 9 and 11 December 197 8. A new feature introduced at this session was a survey of teaching and research in Sociology in the different centres and depart· ments in the south. It has been decided that such a survey should be taken up as a regular feature of the annual meeting.

Two special seminar series have been started during 1978.

143

The first is the Research Scholars' Seminar to bring together Ph. D. and M. Phil. candidates (at the moment confined to Economics) in the city along with research guides. The idea is to provide an opportunity for them to discuss and learn from one another details of research designing, methodologies, repor~ ting, etc. The Department of Economics, University of Madras, and seven post-graduate colleges in the city have been co~ operating in organizing the seminars which have now become a regular monthly feature.

The second of the special seminars is an attempt to involve a wide cross-section of society in discussions relating to deve~ lopment issues. The sessions of this seminar are held for half a day once in two months. The topics that were taken up for discussion during 1978-79 were "Chinese Economy", "Rural Transformation in Tamil Nadu", "The North-South Dialogue" and ¢'Appropriate Technology with special reference to the Manufacture of Leather Products''.

The Institute also hosted two all-India workshops during the year. The first held on 11 and 12 December 1978 was organized under the joint auspices of the Institute and the Committee on Rural Development of the ICSSR to initiate a series of research programmes on "State Level Studies of Rural Transformation". Scholars from eight states who will be conducting studies relating to their own states and a few other invitees participated in the workshop. The Institute has also assumed responsibilities for co-ordinating these research projects.

The second all-India workshop was held from 21 to 23 March 1979 as the first session of the Institute's long-term study project of the Indian economy. The purpose of the study project is to bring together periodically scholars who are actively engaged in the study of the Indian economy and are searching for alternative frames for making an objective study of the economy as a whole. The first session concentrated on "Indian Industry" and the papers presented covered a wide range of issues pertaining to the broad character of the deve­lopment process in Indian industries.

Two visiting scholars conducted seminars in the Institute during the year : (i) "The Structure of Classical Economics''~

144

by Professor P. Gregrnni of the University of Italy, on 2 January 1979. (ii) "Myth of Urban Bias", by Professor T.J. Byres, Department of Economics, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, and Editor, Peasant Societies, 3 February 1979.
