The School of Social Sciences builds upon a rich tradition established by several of the country’s leading social scientists. Over time, this tradition has evolved within the school’s three programs into a deep and broad-based focus on addressing the challenge of exclusion in India. Each of the three programs has taken distinct paths to explore the processes of exclusion and how they manifest in everyday life. By examining the multiple dimensions and interconnections of these processes, the school has developed a more comprehensive and diverse understanding of the Indian economy and society.
