The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) was established in 1936 as the Sir Dorabji Tata Graduate School of Social Work. In 1944, it was renamed as the Tata Institute of Social Sciences. The year 1964 was an essential landmark in the Institute’s history when declared Deemed to be a University under Section 3 of the University Grants Commission Act (UGC), 1956.
Vision
Since its inception, the Vision of the TISS has been to be an institution of excellence in higher education that continually responds to changing social realities through the development and application of knowledge, towards creating a people-centred, ecologically sustainable and just society that promotes and protects dignity, equality, social justice and human rights for all.
Let us go forward in this battle fortified by conviction that those who labour in the service of a great and good cause will never fail.
