About Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) – 

The Sir Dorabji Tata Graduate School of Social Work was the precursor to the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), which was founded in 1936. It was given the new name Tata Institute of Social Sciences in 1944. When the Institute was designated as being Deemed to be a University under Section 3 of the University Grants Commission Act (UGC), 1956, the year 1964 marked a significant turning point in its history.

Since its inception, the TISS has aimed to be an institution of excellence in higher education that continuously responds to shifting social realities through the development and application of knowledge in order to build a just society that is centered on people and that upholds and defends everyone’s rights to dignity, equality, and social justice.
