Centre for Study of Social Change and Development (CSSCD)

Centre for Study of Social Change and Development (CSSCD) - Development Studies and Social Change (DSSC) offers to graduate students the opportunity to complete a structured program of study in an interdisciplinary and globally oriented field. By focusing on the social basis of change in the global south, the minor program engages a wide range of academic disciplines, including the social sciences, humanities, and biological sciences. CSSC believes that no strategy for economic growth can hope to succeed unless it takes into account the social and cultural aspects of the development process. In practical terms, CSSC aims at encouraging the broad, integrated development of men, women and children to bring about social change by and through them, and allow them to better face the problems of today's and tomorrow's India. This development process unfolds on various levels, such as health, (informal) education, training, culture and humanism.
