The Late Dr. D. R. Gadgi I

The First Chairman of the ICSSR (1969 - 71)

Condolence Resolution adopted by ICSSR at its eighth meeting held on August 20, 1971

"The /CSSR places on record its deep sense of sorrow and

irreparable loss at the sudden passing away, on 3rd May,

1971, of Dr. D.R. Gadgil, its first Chairman who guided its

affairs so ably since its establishment on 12th May, 1969.

Dr. Gadgil was one of our leading economists and social workers. He lived the life of a 'Karmayogi' in the Indian tradi­tion : a life of commitment, simplicity and dedication to the pursuit of truth and excellence. His interests were varied and included not only economics but a/so education, cooper­ation and political and social development. l-Ie had deep con­cern for the uplift of the under-privileged social groups and especially of the Scheduled Castes. His services to social science research were almost unparalleled. His personal contribution in the field has been magnificent, both in quan­tity and in quality. He will be specially remembered as the founder and builder of the Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, Poona, which has now become one of the out­standing research institutions in the country. He took a leading part in developing a programme of financial support for social science research under the Research Programmes Committee of the Planning Commission. He was a member of the Social Science Research Committee appointed by the Planning Commission. He became the first Chairman of the Indian Council of Social Science Research and guided its affairs with extraordinary vision and competence during the first two years of its existence.

The ICSSR joins a// the social scientists in India in pay­ing its humble tribute to the memory of Dr. D.R. Gadgil".

FOREWORD

The late Dr. D. R. Gadgil

The third year o'f the Council's existence to which this report pertains, started with a sad event : the sudden demise of its first Chairman, Prof. D.R. Gadgil, on 3rd May, 1971. The late Prof. Gadgil had guided the affairs of the ICSSR with unique distinction since its establishment on 12th May, 1969. His sudden passing away has deprived the Council of his valuable guidance in the crucial years of its growth. The Condolence Resolution passed by the ICSSR at its eighth meeting, published elsewhere in this report, reflects the sense of loss felt by the Council and pays a well-deserved tribute to this great social scientist.

Special Feature of the Report

This Report covers the third year of the Council's existence or the financial year 1971-72; but the narrative of its main events also refers briefly to the developments in the two earlier years as well. In a sense, therefore, this also becomes a triennial review (1969-72). This, it was felt, would be desirable, partly because the term of office of the first Council comes to an end with this triennium and partly because it also serves as a mid-plan appraisal of the Council's progress.

Policy Statement

When the Indian Council of Social Science Research was established two years ago, it had three main documents to guide the development of its policies and programmes : the Report of the Social Science Research Committee, the Government Resolution constituting the Council, and the speech of Prof. V.K.R.V. Rao, the then Education Minister, while inaugurating the Council. While adopting these as the basis of its policies and programmes to begin with, the Council decided that a debate on the role, responsibilities,

functions, programmes and organisation of the Council should be continued (with special emphasis on as wide an involvement of the academic community as possible) and that the entire problem should be reviewed again at the end of two years.

Several steps were accordingly taken. With a view to availing ourselves oi the experience of social science re­search councils in U.K. and U.S.A., invitations were extended to Dr. Pendleton-Herring, Mr. Andrew Shonfield and Prof. A.B. Cherns to visit India. In the course of their tour in India, they visited a number of centres and met leading social scientists. They have submitted valuable reports which have since been published for general in­formation. The Council also published a draft policy statement (which has. been included in the last annual report) and invited comments and suggestions thereon from all concerned. It also organised a series of seminars, in which more than a thousand social scientists have parti· cipated, to discuss the problem relating to the role, func­tions, programmes and organisation of the ICSSR. A number of the relevant issues were also discussed, form· ally, in the meetings of the Council. On the basis of all these discussions, Shri J.P. Naik, the Member-Secretary of the Council, prepared a detailed and comprehensive report for the consideration of the Council.

The proposals in this Report were discussed by the Council in its meetings held on 20th and 21st August and 1st October 1971, when it finalised its Statement of Policy on "The Role, Responsibilities, Functions, Programmes and Organisation oi the Indian Council of Social Science Research". The text of this statement has. been repro­duced in full in the Report.

Organisation

It has been possible to evolve a comprehensive and appropriate organisation for the programmes of the Council.

(vi)

The Council itself functions mainly as an apex and policy-making body and meets about four times a year.

The decisions on the different programmes initiated by the Council are first taken at the committee stage. Five committees have been set up for this purpose: (1) Adminis­trative Committee; (2) Committee on Documentation Ser­vices and Research lniormation ; (3) Committee on Train­ing; (4) Research Survey Committee; and (5) Research Projects Committee, which deals with research as well as publications. These Committees have the authority to sanction grants-in-aid up to Rs. 5,000 and certain other delegated powers. In other cases, their recommendations are submitted to the Council for ratification.

To forge a link between the Council and the academic community. Standing Committees have been set up for different disciplines. These include Standing Committees on (1) Anthropology; (2) Business Administration and Management ; (3) Commerce ; (4) Economics ; (5) Econo­mic, Human and Political Geography; (6) Political Science (including International Relations); (7) Psychology; (8) Public Administration ; and (9J Sociology and Social Work, including Criminology.

·· To assist the Council in its promotional efforts, Advisory Committees have been set up on researches into the pro­blems of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Muslims. There is also an Advisory Cornmittee on Area Studies and International Relations. Committees have also been set up for large or significant projects taken up by the Council. For instance, there is a Coordination Com­mittee on Studies of Education o-r Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, a Working Group on Law and Social Change, a Working Group on Social Indicators and a Study Team on the Status of Social Science in Agricultural, Engineering and Medical Education. There is also an Advisory Committee on Gandhian Bibliography.

For the national and regional centres of the Council, it is proposed to set up Administrative and Advisory Com-

(vii)

mittees .. An Administrative Committee for the National Social Science Documentation Centre has already been set up under the Chairmanship of the Vice-Chancellor, Jawaharlal Nehru University. The Administrative/Advisory Committees for the regional centres are being set up.

The work of the Council as well as of the Committees is looked after by a Secretariat whose head is the Mem­ber-Secretary. The present sanctioned staff consists of three Directors in the scale of Rs. 1100-1800, a Director (Documentation) in the scale of Rs. 1100-1600, three Deputy Directors in the scale of Rs. 700-1250, four Assistant Directors in the scale of Rs. 400-950, three Documentation Officers in the same scare. and an Administrative Officer, and a Financial Adviser and Chief Accounts Officer in the scale of Rs. 900-1500. It has not, however, been possible to fHI all these posts. The overall effort is to adopt the officer­oriented system, to keep the size of the office small, and the administrative costs as low as possible.

Survey of Research ln Social Sciences

The object of the Survey of Research in Social Sciences undertaken by the Council is to ascertain the work done so far in each field, to determine trends, and to find out the areas which have been comparatively neglected, so that it would be possible to define priorities and policies for supporting programmes of research in the immediate future. Initiated in 1969 70, the Project is now nearing completion. Its results are expected to be published in a series of 20 volumes. The total expenditure on the Pro­ject so far has been Rs. 7.13 lakhs.

Research Grants

The !CSSR gives grants-in-aid for research projects which also include 'Teachers' Awards, or grants, not exceeding Rs. 5,000 given to teachers for their small research proposals. During the last three years, 870 research proposals were received, of which 190 were sanctioned. In addition, 45 research projects were transferred from the

(viii)

Planning Commission, making a total of 235 research projects approved till 31st March, 1972.

From the current year, a new concept of research pro­grammes has been introduced. Under this, the ICSSR will assist universities and research institutions to develop a programme of research built round a selected theme and spread over 3-5 years. A Committee has been constituted to suggest the manner in which this scheme can be pro­moted.

Fellowships

The ICSSR has decided to award National Fellowships to distinguished social scientists. The total number of such fellowships has been restricted to six. So far, two National Fellowships have been awarded to Dr. A. Appadorai and Prof. M. N. Srinivas.

The ICSSR has also instituted 20 Research Fellowships, out of which 11 have been awarded so far to Shri Beba D. Varadachar, Dr. V. A. Paipanandikar, Dr. Satish K. Arora, Dr. S. T. Lokhandawala. Shri lmtiaz Ahmad, Prof. Amla:n Dutta, Prof. B. M. Bhatia, Dr. Biplab Das Gupta, Shri Ashok Sen, Shri Asit Kumar Bhattacharya and Shri A. Bag chi.

The ICSSR has a programme of Post-doctoral Fellow­ships. So far, four Post· doctoral and Doctoral Fellowships have been awarded to Dr. (Smt.) Devengana Desai, Dr. (Smt.) Maya Gupta, Dr. (Smt.) Prabhatl Mukherjee, and Dr. (Smt.) Promila Kapur. The Doctoral Fellowships are awarded for research on themes in priority areas. The financial pattern of the fellowships is the same as that of the U.G.C., but an interesting variation is that, sul:lject to a ceiling of Rs. 900 p.m., actual salaries and. allowances can be protected during the term of fellowship, in the case of teachers in affiliated colleges and university lecturers. So far, 14 Fellowships have been awarded. A proportion of these Fellowships has been reserved for Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe students.

(ix)

In addition, the ICSSR sanctions contingent grants ~~ doctoral students, subject to a ceiling of Rs. 3,000 if" the) are working in India, and Rs. 5,000 if they have to visit a: country outside India, for field work and other approved purposes. During the year, two such awards were made.

Research on Asia

It is the policy of the JCSSR to give special encourage­ment to Indian social scientists to do research on Asian countries. Under this programme, four Senior Fellowships were sanctioned to Dr. Ramakant (for work in Nepal), Shri Pran Chopra (for work on Liberation of Bangladesh ancllndo-Pak War), Dr. Devendra Kaushik (for work on India and Central Asia in Modern Times), and Prof. Jayant Kumar Roy (for work on Bangladesh-Birth and Early Days). A Doctor<:~! Fellowship was sanctioned to Shri T.P. Rajashreshta for work on Nepal and three contingent grants were sanctioned for doctoral students workin~J on Sikkim, Singapore and Nepal.

Research on Countries Outside Asia

A Senior Research Fellowship was sanctioned to Dr. Zafar Imam for work on 'Ideology and Reality in Soviet Policy in Asia' and two Doctoral Fellowships were sanction­ed for work on Africa and 'Soviet Foreign Aid to India'.

Ovenseas Social Scientists Wot•king [n India

During the period under review, the ICSSR sanctioned Fellowships to two social scientists from Japan, Prof. Masaaki Kimura and Prof. Toshikaju Mori, for work in India.

Training in Research Methodology

This programme has been undertaken to provide inten sive training in research methodology to the younge generation of social scientists in the country. A Committe' with executive powers has been set up to look after thi important programme. A series of training programme

(x)

were organized during the summer vacations. at eleven .. selected centres in which about 300 resear-ch scho Iars and., young lecturers participated. '

Seminars

Two seminars were held in the year under report to discuss Research Survey Reports on Political Science and Area Studies and International Relations. Two national level seminars were organized under the Council's pro­gramme of annual seminars, one on "Problems of Social Equality in India" and the other on "Law and Social Change." Apart from these, two State level seminars were organized, one at Poona and the other at Madras, to sti· mulate the interest of social scientists in the research problems of the respective States. It is also proposed to organize such seminars in other States if adequate local response is forthcoming.

Documentation

The Union Catalogue of Socia! Science Serials Project, which was taken up by the Social Science Documentation Centre of the Council in 1970-71, has made considerable progress and the first publication in the series, entitled 'Union List of Periodicals in Social Sciences Currently Received in Delhi Libraries' was brought out in August, 1971. · Similar information is being collected for other parts of the country. Arrangements have also been made for gathering holdings data of Socia! Science Serials in the.libraries in Delhi and in States and this work is also proceeding apace.

For the administration and development of the SSDC, an Administrative Committee has been constituted under the chairmanship of the Vice-Chancellor o'f Jawaharlal Nehru University. The Centre is proposed to be located even­tually in the campus of that university. The library of the Centre had acquired 3150 books by the close of the year, besides 468 Indian and foreign periodicals.

(Xi)

Data library

This is one of the special programmes proposed to b~.1 developed by the ICSSR with a view to improving data\ collection, providing better access to official data to sociaF scientists, and promoting better utilization and interpret&! tion of existing data. It is proposed to establish a netwOtk1

of data banks and to set up a Standing Committee on Data Utilization to look after these programmes. An officer oi 0 irector's status has been sent to USA to receive training in this field.

Bibliography on Mahatma Gandhi

The Gandhi Centenary Bibliography Project, which was transferred to the ICSSR by the National Committee for Gandhi Centenary Celebrations in March 1970/ made further progress and by the end of the year, a preliminary bibliography consisting of monographs on Gandhiji in English had been prepared.

Research Information

In furtherance of its function as a clearing house of information in respect of student research in social sciences, the Council has brought out a few publications listing the theses approved by Indian universities for doctorate degrees in the field of social sciences since their inception up to the end of 1970. Another publication, divided in 2 parts, contains data about students registered for doctorate degree in the field of social sciences as on 30th September, 1969. The Council has also undertaken to publish abstracts/synopses of approved doctoral theses. It is proposed to bring out a quarterly journal for publica­tion of these synopses, the first issue of which is expected to be out very soon. The Council has also brought out a publication on Current Research in Social Sciences (other than that done by doctoral students) as on 31.3.1971 and a Directory of Social Science Research Institutions in India, 1971.

(xii)

Publication Grants

Grants-in-aid for publication of doctoral theses were sanctioned in 63 cases in the current year and in 43 cases during the preceding two years. Similar grants amounting toRs. 1.521akhs were sanctioned for publication of about 40 reports on research projects undertaken by social scientists with or without financial support from the Council. Other publication grants sanctioned during the year include Rs. 1.43 lakhs for publication of journals, Rs. 8.45 !akhs for Bibliographical and Documentation Worl<s and Rs. 59,000 for bulk purchase of serials.

Development Grants

Development Grants amounting to Rs. 40,000 were sanctioned to eight professional organizations of social scientists (at the rate of Rs. 5,000 each per annum, tenable for 5 years) in pursuance of the Council's policy 1o support and reinforce the institutional infrastructure of social sciences.

Publications

During the year under report the Council brought out thirteen non-priced and three priced publications.

Promotional Activities

In the promotional field, mention may be made of the following activities :

(1) Study of the Status of Socia! Sciences in Agrkufturaf, Engineering and Medical Education in collaboration with the University Grants Commission: The Study Team has collected some preliminary data and is planning to convene three seminars, one each for Agricultural, En-gineering and Medical Education. The Team expects to submit its report by September 1973.

(2) Research into the Problems of Scheduled Castes : On the recommendation of the Advisory Committee set up

(xiii)

ior this purpose, several projects dealing with different aspects of the problem have been entrusted to selected scholars/centres and about ten research projects relating to Scheduled Castes have also been approved.

(3) Research into the Problems of Scheduled Tribes: Here again, an Advisory Committee has been set up. The Committee has chalked out the programmes to be develop. ed by it and plans to organize a conference of Anthropolo­gists to finalise a programme of research and of State Secretaries dealing with tribal welfare for discussion of problems of evaluation of current official policies. Twelve research proposals relating to Scheduled Tribes have also been approved by the Council.

(4) Research into the Problems of Muslims : The Advi­sory Committee appointed by the Council to promote research into the problems of Muslims has developed a number of programmes. St3Ven research proposals relating to Muslims were approved by the Council.

(5) Research in Problems of Panchayati Raj: This prog· ramme has been taken up. in collaboration with the All­India Panchayat Parishad and seven research proposals in this field have been sanctioned. ·

(6) Area Studies and International Relations : A special Committee has been established with a view to promoting area studies and research in International Relations. A seminar was organized towards the close of the year at New Delhi to consider Research Survey Reports on Area Studies and International Relations and in the light of its recommendations·, the Committee has made a number of suggestions for promoting research on Asia. A program­me on the lines of the Committee's suggestions is propos­ed to be developed from 1972-73 onwards.

(7) Study of Finances of Selected Universities: Thirteen universities have been selected for intensive study and it is expected that the results will be available by the end of next year.

(xiv)

(8} Law and Social Change: A Study Group has been set up with a view to promoting research in this important Inter-disciplinary area. An all-India seminar was organized in June 1971, in which a number of social scientists, judges, lawyers and law teachers were invited to participate. Besides creating awareness among lawyers and social scientists about the need for research in this area, it pin­pointed attention towards some very broad areas of research. The Group is also taking steps to prepare an outline of a course in social sciences whereby the law degree students would be given a better perspective of the social problems and social objectives of law.

Some Special Programmes

The following special programmes undertaken by the Council during the year may be mentioned :

(1) Socia/ Indicators : The Collncil proposes to develop a programme of social indicators. Accordingly two discus­sion sessions were arranged with social scientists interest­ed in the problem and in the light of these discussions it is proposed to undertake the preparation of a "Social Report" on India's performance in the 25 years since Independence.

(2) A Comprehensive Annotated Bibliography of Indian Economic History {1500-1947): This Project has been taken up in collaboration with fhe Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, Poona. Its object is to prepare a single comprehensive annotated bibliography on the econo· mic history of undivided India covering all source materials available as well as research work done in various branches in Indian economic history.

(3) Utilization of Research : A programme for the better utilization of research is proposed to be evolved. One important step taken from this point of view is to publish the ICSSR Research Abstracts Quarterly which publishes the findings of all research projects sanctioned by the ICSSR and also by other agencies.

(xv)

Advisory Role

The Council is now the constituted authority for advis­ing Government on the academic aspect of proposals for research received from overseas scholars. The Council also acts as the certifying authority for purposes of exemp­tion from Income-Tax of donations made for research in social sciences.

This, in brief, is the record of the Council's work. Its details are given in the pages that follow. I take this oppor­tunity to thank the academic community of social scien­tists, UGC, universities and research institutions but for whose help and cooperation this would not have been possible. I would also like to thank the staff of the Council for their dedicated and sustained labours.

A POLICY STATEMENT

1.01. The Planning Commission appointed, in 1965, a Committee on Social Science Research under the Chairmanship of Prof. V. K. R. V. Rao who was then Member (Education) of the Commission. The Committee submitted its report in. November, 1967 and made several important recommendations for the development of social science research in India. The Government of India accepted its most important recommenda­tion that an Indian Council of Social Science Research should be set up as an autonomous organisation. The Council was accordingly established under Government of India Resolution No. F 9-50/68-Plg. dated 12th December, 1968 in the Ministry of Education and Youth Services and its composition was announced under the Government of India Resolution dated 15th April, 1969. The first meeting of the Council which was held on 12th May, 1969 was addressed by Prof. V.K.RN. Rao, Minister of Education and Youth Services and by Dr. D. R. Gadgil, Chairman of the Council. The Council was registered under the Societies Registration Act (Act XXI) of 1860 and started functioning as an autonomous organisation from lst August, 1969.

OB.JECTIVES

1.02. The primary objective of the Indian Council of Social Science Research is to promote research in social sciences* and to facilitate its utilization. To this end, it will strive to identify and develop research talent, provide support to research projects and programmes of quality, build up the essential infra-structure including clearing house facilities, and promote the development of professional organisations of social scientists.

• (1) Economics (including Commerce), (2) Education, (3) Manage­!11ent, (including Business Administration), (4) Political Science (includ­mg International Relations), (5) Psychology, (6) Public Administration, and (7) Sociology (including Criminology and Social Work). In addition, the Council will also be concerned with the social science aspects of the disciplines of (1) Anthropology, (2) Demography, (3) Geography (4) History, (5) Law, and (6) Linguistics. '

1

FUNCTIONS

1.03. The functions of the Council have been defined as follows in its Memorandum of Associati6n :

i. To reviev.· the progress of social science research and to give advice to its users in Government or outside;

n. To sponsor social science research programmes as \Veil as research projects, and administer grants to insti­tutions and individuals for research in social sciences; and to give financial support to learned associations, standard journals and institutions, or organisations engaged in the conduct or sponsoring of social science research;

iii. To provide technical assistance for the formulation of social science research programmes and designing of research projects by individuals or institutions, and to organise and support institutional arrangement for training in research methodology;

teachers and other research workers in India or outside~ and, in particular, to award senior fellowships for research in social sciences that will enable workers in universities to complete their research work for publi­cation or undertake wholetime research for a defined period on topics in which they are specially interested and for doing research on which they are specially qualified;

x. To advise the Government of India on all such matters pertaining to social science research as may be referred to it by the Government of India from time to time, including collaborative arrangements in social science research with foreign agencies; and

xi. Generally to take all such measures as may be found necessary from time to time to promote social science research and its utilisation in the country.

THE ROLE OF THE ICSSR

I .04. The Responsive Role : Research in social sciences, being a creative endeavour, requires freedom and initiative on the part of the individual scholar. The Council will, therefore, respond with understanding and sympathy to the i11itiative of social scientists in the promotion of research.

1.05. l'he Promotional Role : The Council also has an important promotional role in social science research, This may be directed to any or all of the following objectives :

i. To identify research talent, especially among the younger group of social scientists, and to provide it with opportunities for optimum growth through ilnancial support in the form of fellowships and grants­in-aid for training, publications, research projects or programmes;

ii. To promote excellence in research by supporting indi­vidual scholars and cei1tres of proven worth;

iii. To br.oad-base research activity by providing support to promising social scientists in out-of· the-way places a.nd new centres of research activity in the compara­tively neglected parts of the country;

iv. Whenever necessary, to take the initiative in formulat­ing collaborative research proposals and entrust them

3

to competent scholars working in different research ·centres;

v. To conduct surveys of research activities in different fields of social sciences from time to time.

vi. To identify research gaps and to make special efforts to promote research in neglected areas; to maintain a flexible approach in regard to priorities in research so that social scientists can play a more purposeful role in the context of national problems as they arise; and

vii. To identify and promote the development of critical areas in social sciences (cutting edges).

It will be pointed out that, while the Council will invest a comparatively larger portion of its funds in priority areas, grants will continue to be available for research in other areas also. It shall be the endeavour of the Council to ensure that no good research proposal is denied financial support on the only ground that it falls within a 'non-priority' area.

1.06. The Coordinating and Supplementing Role : The Council believes that it is desirable to have a multiple-source 1inancing system for research in social sciences. It, therefore, welcomes the existence of other agencies which sponsor or support research in social sciences; and to make this system really meaningful, it recommends the establishment of a con­vention that a research proposal turned down by one financing source will not be rejected by another on that ground alone. For its own part, the Council desires to maintain close relations with all the different agencies, official and non-official, which provide financial support for social science research so that it can collect comprehensive information on all such research being undertaken in the country and function as a central reference unit. This will also enable it to plan its own pro-gramme in a complementary manner. •

1.07. The Advisory Role : The Council is required to advise the Government of India on all such matters pertaining to social science research as may be referred to it from time to time, including collaborative arrangements with foreign agencies. It also functions as a certifYing authority under Section 35 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, in respect of exemp­tions of donations in support of social science research.

1.08. Jn all its programmes, the Council desires to adopt a non-competitive policy. It shall not undertake any research

4

programme under its direct auspices or establish any research institutions or centres of its own. It shall not undertake any activity which a university or a research institution seems better able to perform. Nor shall it continue to operate a programme which it had accepted at one time but which, owing to changed circumstances, can be advantageously transferred to some university or other institution. It will strive to limit its direct activities to a few programmes in which the rationale of such action is justified on rigorous criteria of economy and effi­ciency.

SPECIAL RESPONSIBILITIES

1.09. In view of their significance, the Council will lay special emphasis on certain programmes which would other­wise tend to be neglected, viz., inter-disciplinary research and comparative studies, interregional collaboration with special emphasis on communication between social scientists from di!Tercnt linguistic regions; closer linkage between users and producers of social science research; and international colla­boration, especially in the developing countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America.

PROGRAMMES

J.l 0. In the light of its basic objectives, functions, roles and special responsibilities, the Council has formulated a number of programmes, some of which have been briefly indi­cated below :

RESEARCH SURVEYS

1.11. Two years ago, the Council initiated the ICSSR Research Survey Scheme, 1970, with a view to identifying trends and research gaps, determining priorities and selecting programmes for special promotional etrort in the future. The results of the survey are being published in a series of uniform volumes.

1.12. It is also proposed to continue this effort through the publication of annual reviews in different social science disciplines. A detailed scheme for this programme will be prepared in consultation with the Standing Committees and the annual reviews will be commissioned for 1970, 19.71 and 1972.

1.13. The following three supplementary programmes will also be developed :

i. Proposals for research surveys in depth may either be sanctioned or sponsored in sub~fields for which no

5

s.urveys have been carried out or in sub-fields where the surveys carried out earlier do not come up to the required standards, or on research built round a theme as distinguished from a sub-Held of a discipline.

n. Surveys of research reported in the ditrerent Indian languages will also be undcrtalwn.

iii. Collabora1ive programmes with the UGC will be developed to ensure that the :findings of social science research get reflected in teaching at the under-graduate nnd post-graduate levels.

IDENTIFICATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF TALENT

1.14. For identification and development of research talent, whkh is one of the major responsibilities of the Council, a number of programmes have been designed.

i. Study Grants : With a view to helping research students, it is proposed to make study grants available to enable them to visit any university/centre/library where reference materials for their research are available. The grants would cover travel and maintenance costs at a prescribed rate. It is also hoped that it will be possible to share the expenditure on these grants with the universities concerned.

ii. Doctoral Fellowships : The Council has decided to institute a modest programme of doctoral fellowships. But care will be token to see that the scheme really supplements the programme of the UGC Fellowships. The main criteria for award will be, in order of significance, the theme on which the student is working, his ability and the competence of the guide. Special consideration will be shown to students who have done good work and are likely to complete their theses in a year or two. A percentage of the scholarships will be reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The amount and conditions of these fellowships will be the same as that of the doctoral fellowships programme of the UGC. However, teachers of afllliated colleges who get the award will be entitled to draw their actual emoluments, subject to a ceiling of Rs. 900 p.m.

iii. Post-Doctoral Fellowships : The main criteria for the award will be the significance of the theme and the competence of the student. The amount and conditions of these Fellow­ships will be the mme as in the similar programme under the UGC. The applications for these fellowships would have to be submitted within three years of the date of award of the

6

Ph.D. degree. This condition may, however, be relaxed in the case of housewives.

iv. ICSSR Research Fellowships : These will be. available 'tt the lecturer's, reader's, and professor's levels. As the essen­~ial idea underlying these awards is to buy time, persons out of employment will not be eligible to apply. In awarding these fellowships, preference will be given to young social scientists of promise irrespective of status.

v. National Fellowships : The ICSSR has instituted six national fellowships, at the level of senior professors, to social scientists who have made a significant contribution to their disciplines. The award will be made solely on the basis of merit and irrespective of age or status.

All fellowships of the Council will be open only to persons who are working on a problem whose social science content is high and who, in the opinion of the Council, are qualified to conduct such research.

RESEARCH GRANTS

1.15. The research grants of the Council shall be adminis­tered solely on the criteria of quality, subject to the following broad reservations : ~

i. Special emphasis shall be laid on progra111mes of priority and significance.

ii. A portion of the available funds may be set aside to assist young and talented research workers within five years of the award of their doctoral degree; and

iii. Some funds may also be set aside to assist promising research workers or institutions in out-of-the-way places with a view to broad-basing social science research. In such cases, the Council will also try to provide the necessary professional guidance.

l.l6. Grant-in-aid for research will be available for all such research projects and programmes whose social science content is high, irrespective of whether the discipline to which they technically belong is or is not to be included within the scope of social sciences, either fully ot· partly. It will not, however, be extended, unless there are special reasons to the contrary, to areas which are covered by other Central agencies which give such grant-in-aid.

7

LI7. The following are the types of research support the Council can provide :

i. Teacher's awards : A grant-in-aid not exceeding Rs. 5,000 mav be made to a teacher to enable him to carry out any worth\vhile research project in which he may have been engaged or in which he is interested. Requests coming from teachers of affiliated colleges will be given special considera­tion.

ii. Research Projects : The c(d-hoc research project which is at present the sole category of research grants administered, will continue to be emphasised as an important tool for pro­moting research.

111. Research Programmes : The assistance of the Council will also be available for research programmes on themes of significance and priority. The duration of the programme will ordinarily be three to flve years. The grant-in-aid to a research programme may also include a provision for one or more fellowships.

iv. Secondary Analysis : The Council desires to encourage secondary analysis of data, wherever possible and desirable. They will be treated as being outside the limit prescribed for the total numbl!r of research projects which an institution can have.

l.l8. The Research Grants Scheme of the Council is drawn up to ensure that all proposals received are dealt with promptly, objectively and purely on the basis of merit. To ensure flexi­bility, the scheme will be reviewed periodically in the light of experience.

ASSISTANCE TO INDIAN SOCIAL SCIENTISTS FOR RESEARCH ABROAD

1.19. The Council will provide fellowships and research grants to Indian Social Scientists desiring to do research in developing countries, especially in Asia and Africa. Special consideration will be given to ~ocial scientists desiring to under­take such research as a part of their post-doctoral work. An adequate knowledge of the language of the country in which such research or studies are to be conducted will be a necessary condition of the award. Assistance will also be given to Indian students who work for a doctoral degree in other developing countries.

8

1.20. The Council will strive, through the existing bilateral agreements, to enable Indian so~ial scientists to do research in the industrially advanced countnes.

OVERSEAS SOCIAL SCIENTISTS

.· 1.21. The Council will provide information and guidance to overseas social scientists who want to do research in India, in formulating their proposals, getting affiliation to an indian institution with whom they will be working and in obtaining the necessary clearances from official agencies.

1.22. The Council will also provide fellowships and research grants for social scientists from developing countries who desire to do research in India. A special programme of doctoral fellowships will be instituted for such social scientists.

ASIAN RESEARCH

1.23. The Council will strive to promote research on countries and problems of the Asian region (including Oceana). It will set up an Advisory Committee on Asian Research, main­tain close contacts with institutions and centres in India engaged in such research, and function as a clearing house of all research done in India in this field. It will also maintaii1 close working relations with research centres and institutions abroad which are engaged in Asian research.

PROFESSIONAL CONTACTS BETWEEN INDIAN AND OVERSEAS SOCIAL SCIENTISTS

!.24. The Council will strive to promote closer contacts between Indian and overseas social scientists. To this end, it will make supplementary grants available to Indian social scientists, who have been invited abroad, to visit selected centres or to meet leading social scientists. It will also invite eminent social scientists from abroad to deliver lectures and conduct seminars and to visit important selected centres in India.

1.25. The Council will try to promote collaborative research between Indian and overseas social scientists, especi­ally in those areas where such collaboration will be of signifi­cance or help in improving research skills of Indian social scientists. The collaboration. however, must cover the entire period from the planning of tl1e project to its conclusion.

PUBLICATION GRANTS

1.26. The Council will provide grants for publication of research documents. The grant-in-aid for the publication of a

9

doctoral thesis will be subject to a ceiling of 75% of the cost of production or Rs. 3,000, whichever is less. In the case of other research documents, the ceiling will be 75°/r, of cost of production or Rs. l, 500, whichever is less. The copyright of all such pllblications shall vest in the author. 25 copies of the publication shall be supplied to the Council, free of charge. The publication shall acknowledge the financial support given by the Council and state clearly that the responsibility for the facts stated. opinions expressed or conclusions reached, is entirelv that of the author and not that of the Indian Council of Social Science Research.

TRAINING IN RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

1.27. The Council will, in collaboration with the UGC, strive to improve training in research methodology in the social science disciplines at the undergraduate and post­graduate levels. It may also organise training courses and summer institutes for teachers, doctoral students and others.

NATIONAL SOCIAL SCIENCE DOCUMENTATION CENTRE, NEW DEI~HI

1.28. The Council has established a National Social Science Documentation Centre at New Delhi in collaboration with the Jawaharlal Nehru University. The major activities which have been undertaken by the Centre include (a) building up a collection of reference materials, especially micro-films and micro-fiche; (b) collection of all doctoral theses in social sciences approved by Indian universities from 1970 onwards; (c) data library; and (d) a reprographic unit. The Centre is also in charge of the Council's major project of compiling a Union Catalogue of Social Science Serials. It is proposed that the Centre should also perform a repository function in respect of old volumes of social science serials received from collaborating libraries. The Centre will also operate the scheme of Study Grants referred to earlier to help research students to visit any university/centre/library where reference materials for their research are available. For the >ldministration and develop· ment of the Centre, a Committee has been set up under the Chairmanship of the Vice-Chancellor of the Jawaharlal Nehru University ...

REGIONAL SOCIAL SCIENCE DOCUMENTATION CENTRES

1.29. The Council has also decided, in principle, to set up regional centres for social science documentation which will function on lines similar to those of the National Social Science

10

Documentation Centre, New Delhi. Ultimately, a regional centre will be established in every State and it is hoped that the programme would be completed during the next five years. Each regional centre will be located on the campus of a selected university and it will have a committe~'. of management consis­ting of the various universities and research institutions within the region. It is also proposed to involve the State Govern­ments in the implementation of this project and seek their assistance for the establishment and running of these regional centres.

UNION CATALOGUE OF SOCIAL SCIENCE SERIALS

1.30. One of the major projects undertaken by the Council is to compile a union catalogue of social science serials. Work on this was started in 1970"71 and the compilation ofthe catalogue is now going on. It is hoped that the programme will be completed in three years.

SOURCE MATERlALS FOU SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH

1.31. There are valuable source materials for social science research, especially in Indian languages, at the state, district and block levels. It is proposed to develop a programme for collecting the more significant of these materials, making full use of existing agencies and organisations in the field, the· Council playing a catalytic role. Where necessary, a small programme to this end may also be developed through the Regional Social Science Documentation Centres or, until these centres come into existence, in agreement with selected institu­tions in each linguistic region.

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL AND DOCUMENTATION SERVICES: DATA LIBRARIES

1.32. The Council has decided to develop a comprehen­sive network of bibliographical and documentation services in all the social sciences which will supplement those provided by the National and Regional Social Science Documentation Centres. These services will be developed, wherever possible, in collaboration with professional organisations of social scientists. The arrangements for the publication of the data collected will, as· far as possible, be developed through the usual commercial channels.

1.33. For these services, the Council will appoint an editor in each discipline (or part of a discipline) for a specified period, who will be responsible for bringing out the publication relat­ing to the bibliographical and documentation services within

11

his field. He will work with a network of selected centres where the bib.liographical and documentation work shall be conducted on the broad pattern prescribed by the Council.

1.34. The Council may also assist institutions or centres in setting up their own bibliographical and documentation services in selected fields for which they have special facilities, and in which they have established a tradition and expertise.

1.35. The Council will also help to organise data libraries under the guidance of an Advisory Committee on Data Utili­sation. The object of this scheme is to ensure that more and more data is made available to social scientists and that the available data is more intensively, utilized. The Council will also establish a data library of its own in the National Social Science Documentation Centre and will provide grants-in-aid to other data libraries set 11p by universities and research institutions. It shall be the endeavour of the Council to ensure that all data libraries in the country function in a unified, well-planned and co.ordinated manner.

1.36. The financial support of the Council will normally be extended only to such bibliographical and documentation services nnd data libraries as are related to disciplines which fall completely within its scope of activities. The Council may, ·however, give support to such services in other disciplines that fall partially within its scope.

CLEARING HOUSE SERVICES (INCL:tJDING PUBLICATIONS)

1.37 .. With regard to student research, the Council· will provide the following clearing house services in collaboration with the Inter-University Board of India and Ceylon :

12

i. Publication of lists of all doctoral theses in social sciences approved by Indian Universities from the inception of the universities to 31st December, 1967;

ii. Publication of lists of all doctora 1 theses in social sciences approved by Indian universities in subsequent years on a yearly basis;

iii. Publication of the synopses of all doctoral theses in social sciences approved by Indian universities till 31st December, 1969;

iv. Publication of the synopses of all doctoral theses in social sciences approved by Indian universities in sub­sequent years on a yearly basis; and

v. Publication of the list of students registered for the doctoral degree in social sciences in Indian universities and also the Jist of students registered for the M. A. degree in social sciences in Indian universities (where dissertation is submitted in fulfilment of the entire requirements of the degree) every three years, beginn­ing with 1969.

1.38. The Council will also collect and publish informa­tion abm1t non-student research in social sciences on a biennial basis.

1.39. The Council maY compile a National Register of Social Scientists in such form as may be prescribed and publish it periodically. It will cover the disciplines of Anthropology, Demography, Economics (including Commerce), Education, Geography, History, Law, Linguistics, Management, Political Science (including International Relations), Public Adminis­tration, Psychology and Sociology (including Criminology and Social Work). In Education, however, the programme will not cover school teachers. 1n Law, it will cover only teachers of University departments of Law and Law colleges and researc­hers in Law.

1.40. The Council will also publish a Directory of Research Institutions, which are outside the university system, on a biennial basis.

CONTACTS WITH OVERSEAS ORGANISATIONS

1.41. The Council will strive to maintain close contacts (including exchange of visits and publications) with socia I science research councils in other cout,tries.

PUBLICATION SERVICES

1.42. The· Council will publish a quarterly 'Newsletter' and circulate it to all universities, social science departments in universities, affiliated colleges having post-graduate courses in social sciences, research institutions, Ministries of tne Govern­ment of India, State Governments, etc. The publication will also be supplied to any individual or organisation on request.

1.43. The Council will also bring out, from time to time, such non-priced and priced publications as may be required for its clearing house responsibilities. The Council will enter into agreements with well-established publishers for the pro­duction, sale and distribution of its priced publications.

13

PROFESSIONAL ORGANISATIONS OF SOCIAL SCIENTISTS

1.44. The Council will work in close collaboration with professional organisations of social scientists in the promotion of social science research. It has formulated proposals for giving small development grants for a specified period to these organisations and will also help them to publish journals. It will collaborate with them in the provision of documentation and bibliographical services and in the compilation of the National Register of Social Scientists. The Council may also publish a Directory of Professional Organisations of Social Scientists on a biennial basis.

SIGNIFICANCE OF PROGRAMMES OTHER THAN GRANTS-IN-AID

1.45. The bulk of the resources available to the Council will necessarily be utilised in providing grants-in-aid, especially for research in Social Sciences. But providing financial support for research projects and programmes of quality is only one of the comprehensive complex of activities envisaged for the Council. The Council will be equally concerned in promoting research surveys and identification of priorities, discovery and development of research talent (including provision of fellow­ships and training in research methodology), and building up the essential infrastructure for social science research (including bibliographical and documentation services). These will not cost much but will need a good deal of effort in planning and organisatio11. An adequate portion of the overall resources available to the Council (say 15-20%) may be earmarked for these programmes to ensure that they are properly nurtured.

ORGANISATION: ADMINISTRATIVE AND FINANCIAL

1.46. The Council is one of a number of autonomous bodies set up by the Ministry of Education and· functioning as registered society. But it has a specific character of its own as determined by the scope of its activities. So it is essential that its administrative and financial structure is planned to suit its role, special responsibilities, functions and programmes.

AUTONOMY

. 1.47. The maintenance of autonomy is of profound signi­i~cance to the success of t!1~ Council. This involves not only freedom from undue pol!t1cal or bureaucratic pressures, but also detachment from insistencies that may arise within the

14

academic community itself. In the last analysis, the autonomy of the Council will depend mainly upon the quality and rharacter of its membership and staff and upon the relation­ships it develops with the academic community at large.

COMMITTEE STRUCTURE

1.48. The Council has five statutory committees which have executive and delegated authority, viz., Administrative Committee, Research Projects Committee, Committee on Documentation Services and Research In formation, Committee on Training and the Foreign Aid Committee. In addition, it has decided to set up standing committees for different disci~ plines. Each such standing committee will have not less than 10 and not more than 16 members who may represent impor­tant specialisations within the discipline and social scientists of diJferent status and age-groups. As far as possible, a regional representation would also be sought to be given. Besides, the Council may appoint advisory committees, working groups, etc., to deal with special programmes.

PROFESSIONAL STAFF OF THE COUNCIL

1 .49. The Council will maintain a professional staff of about a dozen persons who, between them, would represent the major disciplines included within social and behavioural sciences. This staff will function as a team.under the chairman­ship of the Member-Secretary and will look after all professional work of the Council. The recruitment and training of this staff is of great importance and so is the need to provide them with challenging opportunities to keep abreast of the latest develop­ments in their fields and to promote research in social sciences on the broad policies enunciated by the Council from time to time.

GRANTS-IN~AID

1.50. An important principle laid down by the Council is that it will not accept any permaneilt recurring liabilities. Its grants-in-aid are, therefore, being sanctioned for specified periods which do not ordinarily go beyond five years. This will make it possible for the Council to utilise its funds conti­nuously for new ideas and ventures and to function, as it were. at the frontiers of social science research.

RELATIONS WITH OTHER AGENCIES

1.51. The Council is administratively under the Ministry of Education and Social Welfare. But its scope and progra-

15

mmes make it imperative for it to deal with a number of other Ministries and Central agencies. ,

1.52. The Council will also have to develop relations with State Governments who have begun to take greater interest in social science research, especially in relation to the regional social science documentation centres.

1.53, Above all, the Council will have to develop close working relations with the University Grants Commission in order that teaching and research in social sciences are developed under a coordinated policy which will strengthen both.

PERIODICAL REVIEWS

l.54. lt is essential that the Council should. evaluate its own programmes and policies from time to time. The Commi­ttee on Social Science Research set up by the Planning Commission in 1965 had made several recommendations regarding the role, responsibilities, functions, programmes and organization of the ICSSR. While accepting them as a starting point the ICSSR decided that the whole problem should be reviewed, in the light of experience gained, at the end of two years.

1.55. This review was undertaken by the different Commi­ttees of the Council and by its Secretariat in 1970. Besides, 17 seminars were organised in different university centres to discuss the problem in all its aspects with leading members of· the academic community. About 1000 social scientists parti­cipated in these seminars and made valuable contributions.

1.56. On the basis of all these discussions, the Member-Sec­retary prepared a special report (since published as ICSSR Occa­sional Monographs No.7) which was discussed by the ICSSR in two special sessions and this policy statement was adopted. The policy framework with reference to which the Council is functioning today conforms to the conclusions arrived at and decisions taken on the basis of the first review (1970) and adum­brated in the statement referred to above. It may be desir­able to hold the next review at the end of the Fourth Five­Year Plan period in 1974; and thereafter, such reviews may be repeated every five years, and oftener if necessary.

16

II.

GRANTS-IN-AID

RESEARCH GRANTS

2.01. The most important activity of the ICSSR is to give financial support. to research proposals. The bulk of its funds are utilized for this purpose.

2.02. ICSSR Grants Scheme, 1972 : In the light of the ex­perience gained, the ICSSR Research Grants Scheme, 1971 was further revised. It has .now been published under the title ICSSR Grants Scheme, 1972. It is a comprehensive publication which deals with all grants administered by the Indian. Council of Social Science Research.

2.03. Till the end of the year under review, the ICSSR had received 870 applications for research grants. Of these, it sanctioned 190. 45 proposals had been transferred to the ICSSR from the Planning Commission. Thus a total of 235 research projects had been sanctioned till 31 March 1972. Of these, 13 had been sanctioned in 1969-70, 74 in 1970-71 and 103 in J 971-72. A Jist of all the 235 projects sanctioned is given in Appendix II.

2.04. Of the research projects sanctioned, as many as 57 were on election studies. The large majority of these were on the General Elections to Parliament (1971) and elections to the State legislatures (1972). Problems of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Muslims and· University Finances were the other important themes on which multiple projects were sponsored. ·

'" 2.05. The progress of the 235 research projects sanctioned

is reviewed below :

a. Projects Transferred from the Planning Commission : Of the 45 projects, final reports have been accepted by the Council

17

in 26 cases. In 12 cases, preliminary drafts have been received and are under examination or revision. In 7 cases, the reports are yet to be received.

b. Research projects sanctioned during 1969-70 : Of the l3 projects sanctioned, final reports have been rece1ved by the Council in 3 cases. In 4 cases, preliminary drafts have been received and are under examination or revision. In the remain­ing cases, the reports are yet to be received.

c. Research projects sanctionecl during 1970-71 : Of the 74 projects sanctioned, ilnal reports have been received by the Council in ll cases. In 5 cases, preliminary drafts have been received and are under examination or revision. l n the remain­ing 58 cases the reports are yet to be received.

d. Research projects sanctioned during 1971-72 : These are recent proposals and their progress cannot be reviewed in this report.

The present position of all the 235 research projects has also been indicated in Appendix Il.

2.06. In order to give publicity to research ilndings, the ICSSR has decided to publish a brief monograph on each report as soon as it is ready. So far, research monographs on 26 research projects have been published. Monographs on 17 research projects have been received and are being edited; and 7 mo-nographs on research projects are under preparation. It was decided that no monograph need be published in the case of 5 research projects.

2.07. Conference of Project Directors: The Research Programmes Committee of the Planning Commission used to hold annual conferences of its Project Directors at convenient regional centres. 1 t was decided that the ICSSR also should follow a similar practice. Five such conferences have so far been held.

2.24. Grants for Publication of Research Reports : Tht ICSSR gives grants-in-aid for the publication of researcl reports, irrespective of whether the research was sponsored b\ it or not. In the case of sponsored research, the R.P.C. (Research Projects Committee) of the Plan11ing Commission used to give grants for publication of research reports on a 100% basis with provision for sharing the sale proceeds. The ICSSR changed this system to a grant-in-aid of 75% of cost of production. The provision for the sharing of sale proceeds was abandoned but 25 copies of the publication were required to be supplied to the ICSSR free of charge. The sa111e policy was also extended to research sponsored by other sources. Originally, there was no ceiling on the grant-in-aid that could be sanctioned. Later on a ceiling of Rs. 5,000 was introduced.

2.25. Till 31st March, 1972, grants were sanctioned for the plJblication of reports of the following research projects sponsored by the ICSSR :

DEVELOPMENT GRANTS FOR PROFESSIONAL ORGANISATIONS OF SOCIAL SCIENTISTS

2.28. In pursuance of its policy of initiating measures aimed at supporting and reinforcing the institutional infrastruc­ture of social sciences, the Indian Council of Social Science Research has evolved a scheme of financial assistance by way of development grants to professional organisations of social scientists, functioning at the national level, to enable them to develop their programmes of activities and services to the pro­fession. Under this scheme, the ICSSR offers to these pro­fessional organizations, at present restricted to a total number of ten, a non-recurring grant-in-aid of Rs. 5,000 per annum for the purchase of equipment etc., and a recurring grant-in-aid, ordinarily, of Rs. :S,OOO per annum (subject to a ceiling of Rs. 10,000 per annum) for a period of five years, on condition that the beneficiary professional organization raises not less than Rs. 3,000 per annum from its own resources by way of membership and subscription fees.

47

2.29. The ICSSR has so far sanctioned development grants both rc?urring an~ n~m-recurrin.g, t~ e~ch of the following professiOnal orgamzatwns of social screntlsts :

2.30. Besides, the Indian Council of Social Science Research has also sanctioned a recurring grant-in-aid of Rs. 10,000 per annum, commencing from 1972-73 for a period of not more than five years, to the Indian Economic Assocla­tiOJl, subject to the condition that the Association raises not less than Rs. 5,000per annum by way of membership and subscription fees.

48

SURVEY OF RESEARCH IN SOCIAL SCIENCES

3.01. A major project undertaken by the ICSSR soon after its inception was a survey of research activities in the different social sciences. The object of this survey was to discern trends in research and to identify neglected areas · to enable the Council to define priorities and policies for the immediate· future.

3.02. For the purposes of this study all the social science research activities surveyed were grouped under the following seven major heads :

i. Economics, Commerce and Demography

ii. Political Science and Government

Ht. Public Administration

iv. Management

v. Sociology and Social Anthropology

vi. Psychology

vii. Economic, Human and Political Geography.

3.03. Advisory Committees comprising experts in the relevant disciplines were constituted for carrying out the study in all these seven major :fields. On the advice of these Committees a number of sub-fields were defined and social scientists known for their intimate knowledge of them were requested to carry out a survey of the research done so far in their respective areas of specialisation.

3.04. Under the pattern of expenditure sanctioned for the scheme, it was decided that the following allocations would ordinarily be available for each sub-field :

1. A Research Assistant on a consolidated salary of Rs. 500 for a period of three months ;

49

ii. Contingent expenditure grant subject to a ceiling of Rs. 500;

iii. Travel expenses to the extent necessary (for the Conve­ner and for the Research Assistant) in accordance with the rules of the Council ; and

iv. An honorarium of Rs. 1000.

Since all sub-fields were not exactly alike, it was also decided that variations from this normal pattern would have to be made. In some fields, the expenditure was less than the standard prescribed for, while h1 others, it was greater. The Member-Secretary was, therefore, authorised to sanction the appropriate expenditure in consultation with the Convener.

3.05. The work of the Survey was initiated in November, 1969 and by the end of the year under report the position stood as follows :

i. Economics, Commerce and De.mography : A large number of reports have been received in their final form and are being edited. Others are being actively. finalised. It is expected that the reports will begin to be sent to press by September 1972 and that all of them will be published by March 1973.

ii. Political Science and Government : The position is similar to that under Economics, Commerce and Demography. It is expected that the reports will begin to be sent to press by November 1972 and that all of them will be published by May 1973.

iii. Public Administration : are ready and have been edited. be sent to press in June 1972 published by December 1972.

The majority of the reports It is expected that these will and that all of them will be

iv. Management : All the reports were ·sent to press in January 1972 and it is expected that they will all be published by November 1972.

v. Sociology and Social Anthropology: The large majority of the reports were ready and sent to press in January, 1972. It is expected that they will all be published by September 1972.

vi. Psychology : All the reports were ready and sent to press in November 1971. Jt is expected that they will all be published by September 1972. ·

50

vii. Economic, Human and Political Geography : All the reports were ready and sent to press in December 1971. It is expected that they will all be published in June 1972.

3.06. It is expected that all these research survey reports, when published, will be a major publication project covering 20 volumes, each of about 400 pages.

3.07. The expenditure incurred so far on this project is as follows:

Year

1969-70

1970-71

1971-72

Total expenditure incurred

Rs. 1,96,263

Rs. 2,97,603

Rs. 2,19,285

Total: Rs. 7,13,151

The main expenditure to be yet incurred is that on publi­cations. But we expect to recover this through sales.

3.08. The work of publication of the research survey reports is being organised through selected publishers on agreed tenns. The following is the position in this regard at the end of the year under report :

i. Popular Prakashan, Bombay : Reports in Psychology, Geography, and Sociology, and Social Anthropology (five volumes).

ii. Vikas Publications, Delhi : Reports in Management (two volumes).

iii . Allied Publishers, Delhi : Reports in Public Adminis­tration (two volumes).

The decision regarding the publishers for the reports in Political Science and Government and in Economics, Commerce and Demography has yet to be taken.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON AREA STUDIES AND INTERNATIONAI.J RELATIONS

4.18. The 1CSSR has established an Advisory Committee for this purpose. It functions in close collaboration with the Area Studies Committee of the University Grants Commission. Its composition is given in Appendix I.

4.19. The Committee organised a seminar on 18-19 March 1972, at New Delhi to consider Research Survey Reports on Area Studies and International Relations. In the light of the recommendations made by this seminar, the Committee made the following proposals for promoting research on Asia which have been considered by the ICSSR and accepted.

I. PROMOTION OF RESEARCH ON AREA STUDIES AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

i. General Principles : The objectives of resea,rch in area studies and international relations should be vto promote academic development, economic cooperation, diplomatic relations, employment of trained personnel and international understanding.

a. The highest priority should be accorded to research on South and South East Asia. Other priorities are China, Japan and West Asia.~' ·

b. Research themes should be problem-oriented and should aim at a critical and analytical study of areas, cross­cultural study of problems, depth studies on a functional basis, perspective studies of areas and policy oriented studies. Research in International Relations should concentrate on the theoretical, methodological and innovative aspects1

c. Area research is a multi-disciplinary study using inter­disciplinary tools, while international relations studies are disciplinary; sometimes calling for trans-disciplinary methodo­logy.

d. The institutional organisation. of research should follow any one of several models : a self-contained faculty or a core staft' calling upon other disciplines for staff or an inter-discip­linary cell providing intellectual ferment or a division of an area study between different universities, are some of the altern­atives for consideration,

ii. Facilities : There should be an expansion of facilities for area studies and international relations. The existing

62

centres should be ·strengthened incorporating, wherever possible, new areas. There shot~!~ also be a planned develop­ment of new centres where condtttons are favourable.

iii. Coordination : UGC/ICSSR should develop coordi­nated programmes in the following fields to assist the centres of area studies and departments of international relations :

a. Summer Institutes and Workshops

b. Seminars c. Documentation services including clipping and reference

service d. Facilities for language training e. Fellowships and study grants

iv. Collaboration : UGC/ICSSR should promote collabo­ration in teaching and research in area studies and international relations between social scientists in India and those in other countries on (a) a person to person basis, and (b) on institution to institution basis. Visits by social scientists and collaborative research in social sciences could be provided for in cultural agreements the government of India signs with other countries in South and South East Asia.

v. Inter-action between Government and the Academic Community : The ICSSR should strive to promote greater interaction between Government and the academic community. This will also include the following : .

a. The ICSSR should assist individual social scientists to have access to official data ;

b. The ICSSR should take suitable steps to ensure that official documentation is made available to universities and research institntions in the field of social sciences ;

c. There should be exchange of personnel between universi~ ties and research institutions on the one hand and the Govern­ment on the other.

vi. College Courses in Area Studies : (a) The possibility of broadening the electives for the B.A. degree to include area studies and international relations or preparatory courses for them should be examined.

b. A two-year course in Area Studies and International relations should be provided at the M.A. degree level or after the M.A. degree during one year, Similarly, courses on area ?tudies and international relations may be provided, as electives, m fields like economics, sociology, political science etc.

63

JI. GRANTS FOR RESEARCH DONE IN OTHER COUNTRIES BY INDIAN SCHOLARS AND FOR RESEARCH

DONE IN INDIA BY SOCIAL SCIENTISTS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES

i. The ICSSR should give grants to Indian social scientists for doing research in other countries after taking into consi­deration all the relevant factors such as the desirability and utility of the proposal, the competence of the researcher, broad national interests and the objectives of this programme. It would not be necessary to clear these proposals with tl1e Government in advance. After the award is made, however, the social scientists concerned should seek their own clearances with the Government. Even when they go abroad, they should function independently, and should not seek any help from our embassies beyond what is ordinarily available to Indian students or citizens.

ii. In the case of social scientists from other countries who wish to do research in India, the ICSSR itself should obtain prior clearance of the Government after the proposal has been examined on the criteria mentioned above and found accept­able. It is only afler obtaining this clearance frorn the Govern­ment that the award should be formally made to the social scientists concerned. Similarly, the advisory services of the ICSSR are available to the Government in regard to foreign scholars who wish to undertake social science research in India.

iii. The other rules should be similar to those of the ICSSR Research G1:ants Scheme, 1972.

liT. PROGRAMME FOR .IMMEDIATE ACTION

i. Preparation of a plan for expansion of facilities for research in area studies and international relations spread over the next seven years (i.e. the end of the Fifth Five-Year Plan). This will also include the programme of coordination to be developed by UGCJICSSR as indicated at I (iii) above.

ii. Special grants shoutd be made available to Centres of Area Studies and International Relations for development of their libraries.

I . iii. The UGC should be requested to increase the duration

of fellowships in area studies to a minimum of three years which can be extended, i11 deserving cases, up to five years. This is necessary because the student is required to qualify in a

language and also to spend about six months in the country of his specialisation for field work. It was noted that fellowships for field work and research fellowships have already been instituted by the ICSSR.

iv. An Indian Journal of Asian Studies should be started by the ICSSR. An editorial committee should be constitutd to plan and surpervise the wqrk of this journal. Its staff and financial n!quiremeJ?-tS should be carefully worked out and the first issue of the Journal should be brought out by January l~l .

STUDY OF FINANCES OF SELECTED UNIVERSITIES

4.20. The University Grants Commission and ICSSR have set up a Study Group, under the Chairmanship of Prof. D.T. Lakdawala, to examine the finances of universities and colleges and to make suitable recommendations for optimum utilisation of funds and facilities made available to them. One of the programmes proposed to be undertaken by this Group is to study in depth the finances and financial administration of the Agra, Allahabad, Bombay, Calcutta, Gujarat, Karnatak, Madurai, Kerala, Osmania, Patna, Utkal, Rajasthan and Banaras Hindu Universities. These studies have already been initiated and it is expected that their reports will be available by the end of the next year.

LAW AND SOCIAL CHANGE

4.21. With a view to promoting research in this important interdisciplinary area, the Council set. up a Study Group. Its composition is given in Appendix-I

4.22. The Study Group had three aims : to create an awareness of the importance of socio-legal studies; to initiate communication between the lawyers and social scientists; and to identify the researchable topics in- the area. In furtherance of these aims the Group orgainsed an All-India Seminar in June, 1971, in which sociologists, economists, social psycho­logists, historians, political scientists, judges, lawyers and law teachers participated. The mutual relationship between law and social change could be further illuminated if this kind of inter disciplinary collaboration could be established on a conti­nuing basis.

4.23.. The idea emerged fairly early in the discussions held in the Group that, besides thematic studies on particular socio­legal problems, the basic problem of social acceptance of the present legal system would have to be studied. The funda-

6)

mental problem in this eontext was the oft-asserted hypotheses of incompatability between traditional values on the one hand and the values underlying the imported legal system on the other. The study of isolated topics would be lopsided unless the basic issues regarding social awareness, degrees and depths of social acceptance of the legal system, barriers between social attitudes and legal enforcement were to be clarified. This, it was felt, was too vast a canvas to be covered in one study. Collaborative research by a team of experts from different disciplines had to be conducted at several centres. The research design for this project is under consi­deration by the Group.

4.24. The Group also felt that an elementary course in sociology should be included in the syllabus for the first law degree. This would give future lawyers a better understanding of the social objectives and implications of law. A draft out­line of the course is under preparation.

4.25. The Group also undertook a study of Law and the Scheduled Castes. Legislation and judicial decisions from three States have already been compiled. The material from the remaining States is being collected. Comprehensive study of legal material relating to the Scheduled Castes will be published in the form of a monograph.

v. SPECIAL PROGRAMMES

STANDING COMMITTEES

5.01. The ICSSR has decided to establish Standing Com­mittees for the different disciplines included within the field of Social Sciences. So far, Standing Committees have been set up for (i) Anthropology, (ii) Business Administration and Mana­gement, (iii) Commerce, (iv) Economics, (v) Geography, (vi) Psychology, (vii) Public Administration, (viii) Sociology, and (ix) Political Science. The terms of reference of these Com­mittees as well as their composition have been given in Appendix I.

5.02. These Standing Committees are, in a way, successors to the Research Survey Advisory Committees appointed in 1969. As they were established only towards the end of the period under review, it would be possible to make mention of their activities only in the next year's report.

5.03. The Standing Committees, which consist of experts in the respective disciplines, will be the principal agencies of the ICSSR to advise it on the manner in which research within each discipline can be promoted. They will also be the link between the ICSSR and the wider community of social scien­tists outside. They are, thus, expected to play a vital role in the shaping of the promotional policies and programmes of the TCSSR.

SOCIAL INDICATORS

5.04. The probleins of development which have come to light during the past few decades have led social scientists to think in terms of social indicators as tools to gauge progress. This technique is being adopted all over the world and in view of its significance the Council has also decided to follow the practice. ' ·

5.05. To examine the problematics in such an exercise re­lative to India, two discussion sessions were arranged with social scientists interested in the problem. The general view

67

was that it would be worthwhile to prepare a Social Report on India's performance in the 25 years since her independence. Such a Report may cover the following aspects :

I. Recruitment : The Demographic Dimension

II. Socialization : Induction into Society

III. Education and Communication

IV. Economic Life

v. Social Stratification

VL Government and Policy

VII. Religion, Arts, and Literature The Aesthetic Component

VIII. Public Order and Safety

IX. Environment and Public Health

X. Research and Development

As a first step in this direction, eleven scholars were. reque~t­ed to prepare methodological notes on the area of thetr specia­lization. The notes received from the scholars are based on the discussions each one of them had held with his professional colleagues. ,These notes (a) reflect on the broad issue ~f prog­ress and the concept of indicators ; (b) critically rev1ew ~he existing indices in the field ; (c) suggest the indicators to be Ill· corporated in the Social Report ; and (d) discuss the metho­dological issues involved in the construction of indices. They are to be discussed in the forthcoming meeting of the group to arrive at a consensus regarding the key c01'icept and the methodology.

5.06. Scholars drawn from different disciplines will then be commissioned to write chapters, or parts of chapters, for the proposed Social Report using a common conceptual framework and common methodology. The Social Report is expected to be ready by the end of 1975.

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF INDIAN ECONOMIC HISTORY ( 1500-1947)

5.07. The Indian Council of Social Science Research has taken up this project in collaboration with the Gokhale Insti­tute of Politics and Economics,Poona.

5.08. T~1e purpose of this project is to prepare a single comprehensive, annotated bibliography on the economic history

68

of India covering, in a systematic way, all source materials available as well as research work done in various branches of Indian e~onomic history. An etiort will be made to include all tinted and typescript material but not the manuscripts. To

tegin with, material on~y in Engl~sh will b~ .included: The geographical coverag.e w1ll be the former undlVlded Ind1a and the period covered w1ll be 1500 to 1947.

5.09. All entries will be briefly but critically described. In every case, where statist.ical data ~re available, they will be des­cribed in sufficient detail. LocatiOn of the matenal consulted and its physical conditiOn will also be mentioned. This is im­portant because the catalogues of many libraries show books and periodicals which often .are not av~ilable iD: those libraries. It is estimated that the b1bhography Will contam about 30,000 items. The entire project is expected to be completed in three years at a cost of about Rs. 6 la.khs.

DATA LIBRARY

5.10. The ICSSR has decided to develop a programme for improving data collection, providing better access to social scientists to official data, promoting better utilization and interpretation of existing data and establishing a network of data banks. It is also proposed to set up a Standing Com­mittee on Data Utilization to look after these programmes.

5.11. To service these highly technical programmes, the ICSSR created the post of a Director and appointed Dr. Ramashray Roy in that capacity. He was sent to the USA for training. The programme would be initiated in earnest after his return. ·

TRAINING IN RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

5.12. With the growth of empiricism and increasing use of quantification in social research the need for intensive training in research methodology is felt among all social scientists. The Council, therefore, decided to concern itself with a programme of training for the younger social scientists.

5.13. A Committee on Training (vide Appendix I) was set up to look after this programme. Jt commissioned 'two studies on (a) training in research methodology in social sciences in India; (b) social research skills in India. Based on these and the recommendations of the Committee, a programme of action was chalked out. ·

69

5.14. The Committee has set up Working Groups for each of the social science disciplines to examine the training needs in research methodology. The Working Groups circulated questionnaires to all social science teaching departments and, based on the responses received from them, reports for each individual discipline will be prepared and submitted to the Committee. These reports will become the basis for future programmes of training in research methodology.

5.15. In the meantime the Committee decided to organise a series of training programmes at some selected centres for new research scholars and young lecturers. These training pro· grammes were designed to be inter-disciplinary in character m1d were expected to follow a uniform syllabus. However, in addition to these general programmes, some special subject­based programmes were also organized.

5.16. The following training programmes were arranged in the year 1971 :

1.' The Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Deonar, Bombay-88 (Course Director : P. Ramachandran)

2. The Madras Institute of Develop­ment Studies, Madras-20 (Course Director : C. T. Kurien)

3. Department of Sociology, Meerut University, Meerut (Course Direc­tor : B. R. Chauhan)

4. The Loyolla College of Social Sciences, Trivandrum (Course Director : J. Puthenkalam)

September 15 to Nov. 10, 1971

August 30 to Oct. 22, 1971

May31 to July 24, 1971

A total of about 300 students from as many as 19 States representing 54 teaching and research institutions and 15 social science disciplines participated in" these eleven training pro­grammes.

5.l7. Encouraged by the response of the participants and the success of the training programmes, the Committee decided to arrange similar training programmes with some modifica­tions during the year 1972 also.

5.18. The ICSSR does not give grants-in-aid for Semi­nars. But it operates a small programme of its own.

5.19. Research Survey Seminars : Before finalizing the Research .Survey Reports in different fields, the ICSSR arran­ged Seminars at which social scientists speciaiising in the field or sub-field concerned discussed these reports in detail. Seven such seminars were held in 1970-71. The following two were held in 1971-72:

Sr. Theme of the Seminar No.

1. Seminar on Research Survey Reports on Major Field No. II (Political Science)

2. Seminar to discuss Reports on Area Studies and Inter-national Relations

Dates on which No. of held Participants

11th to 14th 71 August, 1971

18th & 19th 25 March, 1972

5.20. State Level Seminars : With a view to identifying research problems in the different States and stimulating the

71

interest of social scientists therein, the ICSSR has decided to organise a series of State level seminars. The first of these seminars was organised at Poona for Mabarashtra in collabo­ration with the Samaj Probodan Samstha on 15-16 March, 1971. The second was organised at Madras for Tamil Nadu in collaboration with the Madras Institute of Development Studies on 23-25 September, 1971.

5.21. Annual Seminars : The ICSSR has also decided to organise two national seminars every year on selected themes. A national seminar on "Problems of Social Equality in India" was organised at Hyderabad from 9th to 12th March, 1971. Another on "Law and Social Change" was organised at Bangalore from 5th to lOth June, 1971. The main object of the second seminar was to bring lawyers and social scientists together to promote interest in this inter-disciplinary field and identify significant areas in which a research programme can be developed.

5.22. Overseas Participants : ICSSR has a modest pro­gramme under which it can assist seminars organised by uni­versities and research institutions to invite a very limited num­ber of social scientists from overseas. Under this programme Prof. Von-C. Furer-Haimendorf was invited to participate in the seminar at Ran chi on "Anthropological Development in India" and Professors Harry Magdoff and Andre Gundar Frank were invited to participate in a seminar on" Imperialism, Independence, and Social Transformation in the Contemporar~ World" held at New Delhi.

VI. DOCUMENTATION AND RESEARCH INFORMATION PUBLICATIONS

6.01. The major steps ta~en by th.e !CSSR to ~rgani7;e an ancient documentation servtce pertauung to Soctal Smence Research are the following :

a. A Committee on Documentation Services was consti~ tuted to formulate proposals for fi1~ancial . assistance in respect ofbibliographical and documentatton projects.

b. A Documentation Branch was set up when the Ministry of Education made available to the Council, on a part-time basis, the services of Shri N.M. Ketkar, Librarian, Central Secretariat Library. From April 7, 1970, his services became available on a full-time basis on deputation.

c. A Working Group of prominent librarians was formed to recommend to the Council the priority programmes in the field of documentation.

The Working Group recommended unanimously the estab­lishment of a national documentation centre, the promotion and coordination of bibliographical and documentation ser~ vices and the compilation of a union catalogue of social science serials held in important libraries in India. It also recommended the staff required for the Union Catalogue Project and emphasised that this project should receive top priority. The Council accepted these recommendations.

UNION CATALOGUE OF SOCIAL SCIENCE SERIALS IN IMPORTANT LIBRARIES IN INDIA

6.02. The work on this project commenced in 1970-71 after the required staff was recruited in March 1970.

6.03. After consultations it was decided that the project should begin with the compilation of a Union List of Social Science Periodicals currently received in the Delhi libraries. Libraries in each of the States of India or in each of th.e important cities such as Bombay, Calcutta, and Madras were to b~ covered later. The second phase of the project was to cons1st ofthe holdings of Social Science Serials. Here too,

73

the idea was to prepare the list for Delhi first and for each of the States in the country afterwards.

6.04. The Union Catalogue is to provide information on the availability of Social Science Serials in the various libraries in India. It is essentially a location device for the purpose of consulting, or direct borrowing on inter-library loan, the re" quired serial or for obtaining a copy of a needed, article or an extract from it. It is not to be looked upon as an inventory of all the social science serials in all the libraries of the coun­try, nor is it a source of complete bibliographical information of a serial including its history. Research workers in the course of their studies come across references to periodicals or articles and papers published in them. The Union Catalogue is to provide a means of easy accessibility to the references in terms of nearness and dependable availability.

6.05. Subjects covered : The complete list of subjects covered in the Union Catalogue is as follows :

Anthropology International Psychology Relations

Commerce Journalism Public Administration

Demography Law Social Work

Economics Linguistics Sociology

Education Management Studies Statistics

Geography Political Science Town and

History Country Planning

6.06. Serials : A serial is taken to mean any periodical publication of any frequency issued by any agency. Ordinarily, it includes periodicals, journals, bulletins, newsletters, annuals (reports, yearbooks etc.) and memoirs, proceedings, trans· !actions .or P.roceedi~gs of Societies, Conferences, Congresses and LegtslatiVe bo~lles. A large number of publications of local, Central and State Governments and of International organisations such as UNO, UNESCO, WHO, FAO etc. are serial in character. The Union Catalogue is intended to cover all of these serials '-':hich t;nay be devoted principally to one or the other of the subjects listed above. But it will also include a large number of general periodicals particularly those pub-

74

lished in India becau~e they still provide a .good medium for expression of profess10nal thought and expenment.

If 6.07. Libmries covered : The arrangement made for

gathering the data about Social Science Serials provides for a reasonably dependable selection of libraries from each State. Care is also taken to ensure that the libraries from distant areas in a State are not overlooked if they qualify for inclusion on the strength of their collection. The emphasis, however, in the process of final selection of libraries is on securing minimum sufficient locations for each serial title for reasonably easy access to any research worker stationed anywhere in the State. It is estimated that the total number of libraries to be covered in the Union Catalogue will be well over 300.

6.08. Union List (Delhi) : The first publication in the Union Catalogue series was brought out in August, 1971. This is a "Union List of Periodicals in Social Sciences currently received in Delhi Libraries". It comprises 4074 titles and indicates the availability of each in one or the other of 107 libraries in Delhi. The publication is non-priced and has been received very well. It has been distributed to all the participating libraries as well as to all the university libraries, Research Institutions, Post-Graduate Colleges and Heads of Social Science Departments in Universities. It is available on request to any bonafide social scientist in India.

6.09. Holdings Data (Delhi) : Simultaneously with the pre­paration of the Union List, arrangements were made to gather the holdings data of Social Science serials in the libraries in Delhi and in some other States. Delhi has the largest cluster of libraries and these have large collections of social science serials material of research value. Special staff was, therefore, recruited to gather the holdings data from over sixty carefully selected libraries in Delhi.

6.10. Arrangements to collect Holdings Data (States) : The patt~rn for the different States in respect of collecting the holdmgs data is more or less uniform. A senior librarian such as .a university librarian or one recommended by him is des1gnated as project-in-charge for the respective State. In a.col!-ple of cases, this assignment has been accepted enthu­SJastrcally by the local library association (as for instance, in West Be?gal and Andhra Pradesh). The Council provides an hon.oranu~1 of Rs. 1,000 to the project-in-charge for the. Project wlll.ch is required to be completed in about six months. Th~ Counc1l also provides one or more full-time professional ass1stants for ea?h State project to assist the project-in-charge

75

in this work. T.A./D.A. required for travel within the State and contingent expendit1.1re to cover postage etc. is also borne by the Council. In addition, the Council pays to the person in each library who would be actually preparing the record from that library at the following rates :

Per entry of a serial title and record of its holdings in the library according to the instructions to be supplied by the Council

up to 5 vols. 25 p. up to 10 vols. 40 p. up to 25 vols. 60 p. up to 50 vols. 80 p.

beyond 50 vols. Rs. 1.00

6.11. This arrangement has been found quite satisfactory because it secures local participation and involvement of a number of libraries. It has also provided the libraries an opportunity to verify their own serial collections and put them in order for easier use.

6.12. Work accomplished : To date, the position in respect of the project in different States is as follows :

i. Holdings record from over fifty libraries in Delhi has been collected.

ii. The work is in progress in Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Maharashtra, Mysore, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.

m. Preliminary negotiations have been made for start­ing the work in Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh.

6.13. Work yet to be done: In the remammg States of Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Jammu & Kashmir, Bihar, Orissa and Assam, arrangements will be made next year.

6.14. Union Catalogue Series : Experience gathered so far suggests that the Union Catalogue may become more useful and more quickly useful to the social scientists in India if the pub­lications in the Union Catalogue series are brought out in three ways, namely, first the Union Jist of current periodicals, fol­lowed by the Union Catalogue of holdings of periodicals and, lastly, by the Union Catalogue of holdings of serials other than periodicals. The Union list of current periodicals is quite use­ful to identify the needed periodical, to locate its availability in

76

a nearby library and make a rea_sonable guess abo_ut the fl:Vai~­ability of its back file. Such a ltst can also be rev1sed pert?dl­cally witl~out much trouble o_r del~y. The volume of holdmgs of periodicals other than senals wtll prove useful for reference. It has been noticed that in citation studies there are far more references to articles from well-known periodicals than to other serial material. To compile a comprehensive volume of all the serials including the periodicals may not only take a longer time but such a volume, even when it is accomplished, may also slow down the process of identification of material needed.

Unlike periodicals which are usually shelved in libraries in an alphabetical sequence by titles, serials ·are treated differently in different libraries, some as monographs, some as periodicals and some even as pamphlets. Because of this situation in our libraries, it is imperative that the comprehensive list of all serials which is to be brought out should indicate the manner of cataloguing followed in the various libraries to make it easier for the research worker to get his materials. The Working Group set up by the Council in this connection had rightly emphasised the inclusion of all serials in this project although many an established Union Catalogue in other countries excludes anum­ber of categories of serials. These ideas, suggested by ex­perience in gathering the holdings data, will be kept in view while formulating the future publication programn1e of the Union Catalogue series.

6.15. Computer Use : After all the State Union Catalogues are published, it is also possible to merge all of them in a single volume or a set of volumes by availing of computer services. At that time, it will also be possible to printout separate sec­tions for each library or for each locality, region or zone or any other sorting which may be considered useful and necessary.

6.16. Expenditure: As on March 31, 1972, the total ex­pense on the Union Catalogue project has been Rs. 74,439, It is expected that the project will be completed in 1974-75. The total estimated cost of the project is Rs. 8 lakhs.

COMMITTEE ON DOCUMENTATION SERVICES AND RESEARCH INFORMATION

6.17. The first meeting of the Committee on Documentation Services, subsequently renamed the Committee on Document­ation Services and Research Information, was held on 19th September, 1969. Its tenth meeting was held on 17th March, 1972. The membership of the Committee has been given in Appendix I.

77

6.18. Since the first meeting of this Committee (then known as the Committee on Documentation Services) in September 1969, 83 proposals for financial assistance have been received: Forty-nine of them have been rejected by the Committee as not qualifying for support. Eight proposals are ~till under consi. deration, Details of 26 proposals which have been sanctioned a total amount of Rs. 10,46,916 are given below :

SOCIAL SCIENCE DOCUMENTATION CENTRE (SSDC)

6.19. The Council has already decided in principle that a Social Science Documentation Centre should be established at New Delhi and Regional Centres in each of the States. The Centre at New Delhi, which will function as a national centre, is to be established in cooperation with the Jawaharlal Nehru University. A beginning has been made by locating the Centre at present in the building of the School of International Studies of the Jawaharlal Nehru University at 35, Ferozeshah Road, New Delhi. Plans have been made for a suitable building for the Centre to be constructed on the site of the J.N. University campus. The aim of the Council in locating the Centre in the J.N. University campus, is to develop large resources of social science research material in collaboration with that University and make these available to the academic community not only of the University but also of the whole country. Several programmes which the Council bas planned for the Documentation Centre such as Reprographic service, Data library, Repository library etc. are intended for nation· wide service to social scientists.

6.20. Administrative Committee for SSDC : The first meeting of the Administrative Committee for the Social Sciences Documentation Cenfre, New Delhi (its composition is given in Appendix I) was held on 31st May, 1971. The Committee expressed itself favourably on the following matters: ··

i. Collection of doctoral theses in Social Sciences

81

ii. Organisation of bibliographical and documentation services

iii. Setting up a data library

iv. Organizing a Reprographic Unit

v. Establishing a Repository library

vi. Building up a strong Reference library

vii. Cooperation with other libraries and Centres

viii. Conduct of a study grant scheme

These are long-term plans. But the Council has alreadv acquired 13 7 doctoral theses submitted to Indian universities after 1970. The Reference collection at the Centre's library has been growing rapidly. Plans have been made for a Repository library and a Reprographic Unit. The Standing Committee on Data Utilization has made recommendations in respect of the Data library and the Standing Committees on the different disciplines of Social Sciences will plan the steps to be taken to develop bibliographical and documentation services for their respective disciplines.

6.21. The Library : Notwithstanding the limited space at present available for the library of the Centre, 3,150 books had been acquired by purchase, gift or exchange up to 31st March, 1972. These include mainly basic reference books and books on methodology of social science research. The library receives 468 periodicals which are mostly Indian Social Science periodicals and indexing and abstracting periodicals in Social Sciences published in India and abroad.

GANDHI CENTENARY BIBLIOGRAPHY

6.22. A bibliography of all writings on Gandhiji was proposed by the Gandhi Centenary Celebrations Committee as far back as 1966. The project, however, really got going only in April, 1968. Full financial assistance was provided by the Ministry of Education. This project which was located at the National Library, Calcutta, was initially restricted to only monographs on Gandhiji. Its work could not be completed by March 31, 1970 when the G,ftndhi Centenary Committee was wound up. The Ministry of Education and Youth Services therefore desired that the ICSSR should take up the project with financial assistance from. the Ministry and try to complete it by March 31, 1972. Accordingly, the Council accepted the project and for its timely completion shifted its

82

location from Calcutta to New Delhi. In shifting the location to New Delhi, the Council took special care that the staff of the project was not put to any hardship. The project was then made part of the Social Science Documentation Centre.

6.23. Even the limited project of compiling a bibliography of monographs on Gandhiji in all languages, Indian and foreign, proved a time-consuming enterprise. It was' therefore decided to concentrate for the present on monographs on Gandhiji in English alone which could be brought oi.tt in the form of a preliminary edition of the bibliography.

6.24. A final copy of this bibliography has been prepared which, after necessary editorial work, will be sent to press. Meanwhile, arrangements have been made for compilation of the bibliography of monographs on Gandhiji in each of the Indian languages. A suitable person, in most cases a librarian, from each of the language areas was selected and designated as the project-director. He was given facilities to travel when necessary to collect the data for the bibliography of books in the language assigned to him. He was also paid at the flat rate of Rs. 6 per approved entry of the bibliography complete with indexes, transliterated versions of author, title etc. These bibliographies have also been received from many project­directors. It is intended to mimeograph the language biblio­graphies and circulate them to a number of institutions and to knowledgeable persons from each language area to solicit their advice, comments etc.

6.25. It is feared that it may take another two years to complete the whole work in respect of this bibliography. The Council will therefore request the Ministry of Education and Social Welfare to extend the period for completion of this project. Meanwhile, the Council is also giving thought to making permanent arrangements for a continuing bibliography of all writings on Gandhiji.

6.26. Staff : The total staff of the Social Science Docu­mentation Centre at present is as follows :

Director One

Documentation Officers Three

Senior Documentation Assistants Six

83

Junior Documentation Assistants Nine

Others (Typists, Attendants, Peons etc.) Ten

6.27. Future Plans : The Council has decided to start Regional Centres at Bombay, Calcutta and Hyderabad. The Regional Centres will, among other activities, endeavour to collect information about the availability of research material in the regional languages and make this information available to the social scientists engaged in research. It is also proposed to inti·oduce a Study Grant Scheme from 1972-73 to enable doctoral students and other research workers in Social Sciences to visit the Council's centres as well as other important libraries and institutions to consult or collect the research material which they require. Modest tlnancial assistance to meet travel and maintenance costs may also be given. It is also proposed to set up a regular Exchange Unit in the Social Science Documentation Centre to establish exchange relations with institutions and periodicals abroad against the Council's publications including journals.

RESEARCH INFORMATION

6.28. lt is one of the major responsibilities of the ICSSR to function as a clearing house for information in respect of student research in the field of social sciences.

6.29. In collaboration with the Inter-University Board of India and Ceylon, the ICSSR has published the following in respect of student research in the field of social sciences in 1 ndian universities :

i. Doctorates in social sciences up to 1967: This publica­tion lists the theses in the field of social sciences approved for doctorate degrees by Indian universities since their inception up to 3 I st December, 1967.

i i. Doctorates in social sciences awarded during 1968, 1969, 1970 : A separate volume listing theses in the field of social sciences approved for doctorate degrees by Indian universities in each of the calendar years 1968, 1969, 1970 has been published. The Council is currently engaged in collect· ing and compiling data in respect of doctorates during the year 1971.

84

iii. Doctoral students in social sciences, 1969 : This publi­cation which runs into two volumes gives data about students registered for a doc~orate de~re.e as on ~Otl~ Sepptemb~r 1969. It is proposed to bnng out sm11lar publications once 111 three years.

The above publications will provide information on six points : (i) Name of the university (ii) Major :field of social science (iii) Name of the student (iv) Title of the thesis (v) Name of the guide and (vi) Name of the institution where the student was working for the doctorate degree. All the publications list the universities in alphabetical order. Indices giving information according to names of students, subject of theses and names of guides, have also been provided in the publications.

6.30 Abstmcts of Theses : The Council has ·also under­taken to publish abstracts of doctoral theses in the field of social sciences approved by Indian universities since their inception up to 1967 and onwards. In the meantime, the Council has taken steps to commission the preparation of synopses <lfthe approved doctoral theses. A senior faculty member nominated by each of the universities has been entrusted with the work.

6.31. Till the end of 1971, the total number of theses approved is 3114. Out of these, the synopses of 598 theses have been received so far.

6.32. The publication of synopses of doctoral theses approved before 31st December, 1971, will generally be unJertaken by the ICSSR itself. But where the number of theses is large enough, the university concerned may undertake the publication if it so desires, with assistance from the ICSSR.

6.33. It has also been decided to bring out a quarterly journal for publication of synopses of doctoral theses approved from 1972 onwards. The first issue of the journal will be published in October 1972.

6.34. Cun·cnt Research in Social Sciences : The Council has brought out a publication which contains information in respect of research in progress (other than that done by studen~s registered for doctorate degrees) as on 31st March 19Jl. m the departments of universities and affiliated colleges.

85

6.35. Directory of Social Science Reseal'ch Institutions in India 1971 : The ICSSR has published the first issue of a Diredtory of Social Science Research Institutions in India, 1971. This provides. a comprehensive and current list of institntions(organisations falling outside the university system and engaged in research in the ~eld of social sciences. The publication is proposed to be rev1sed and brought up to date and published every two years.

6.36. In order to ensure that each edition of the Directory is comprehens.ive an.d co!llplete, all institutions ~n~ organi~a­tions engaged m socml sctence rese.arch but fu~1ctt~mmg outst?e the university system, and professwnal orgamsauons o~ soc1al scientists are being requested to enrol themselves With the ICSSR.

6.37. Collection of theses approved for docotorate degrees: The ICSSR has undertaken to collect copies of theses approved by Indian universities for doctorate degrees in the field of social sciences. All theses approved since 1st Janmuy, 1969 will be collected and preserved in the Documentation Centre of the Council. Up to 31st March 1972, 52 universities have agreed to supply the ICSSR with one copy of every approved doctoral thesis in the field of social sciences. Efforts are being continued to obtain a favourable response from the other universities. The total number of theses received up to 31st March 1972, is 137.

6.38. Projects undertaken by foreign scholars in India : An~ther major responsibility of the Council is to perform an advisory role to the Government of India in respect of research in social sciences proposed to be undertaken by overseas scholars in India.

6.43. ICSSR Research Abstracts : With a view to making available the findings of research to as wide an audience as possible it was decided to publish comparatively longer abstracts of research reports sponsored by the ICSSR and also of other selected research papers. To begin with, these research abstracts were published in small bulletins (non-priced). Six such bulletins have been issued.

6.44. [twas then decided that, as this was a continuing activity, it should be given the form of a quarterly journal. Accordingly, the ICSSR Research Abstracts Quarter~y was started in collaboration with Orient Longman Ltd., New Delhi from October, 1971.

The annual subscription has been fixed at Rs. 10. By March, 1972, 107 subscribers had enrolled themselves for this journal.

6.45. Imlian Psychological Abstracts : The ICSSR has decided to organise, separately for each discipline, a programme of publishing research abstracts or bibliographies of research publications or annotated bibliographies as may be necessary.

6.46. As a part of this programme, a quarterly journal entitled Indian Psychological Abstracts is being published by arrangement with the Somaiya Publications, Bombay, from January, 1972. It is a bi-monthly journal and the annual sub­scription is Rs. 30 for institutions and Rs. 20 for students and teachers.

6.47. Similar journals for other disciplines are being planned and are expected to be started during 1972-73.

6.48. Survey Reports on Research in Social Sciences : An important programme of publications initiated du:ing t~1e current year is that of Survey Reports on Research m Social

89

Sciences. The entire series of research survey reports is pro­posed to be published in 20 volumes. Of these, the first Survey of Research in Psychology was published during th~ year under review. It is hoped that the entire series may be published during 1972-73.

6.49. Publication Policy : The Publications Branch of the ICSSR is responsible for the production and distribution of all non-priced publications. For the priced publications however, the ICSSR has decided that it would be more econo~ mical an·d efficient to work through well-established publishers. It has, therefore, approved of a panel of publishers through whom its priced publications (including journals) will be pub­lished and managed. Standard forms of contract with the publishers have also been drawn up. By and large, the policy is that the cost of production and publication is borne by the ICSSR and the sale proceeds are divided between the publisher and the ICSSR on an agreed basis.
