1. OVERVIEW
Introduction to the Institute of Chinese Studies
The Institute of Chinese Studies (ICS) grew out of the China Study Group which was
initiated in 1969 as an informal, interdisciplinary forum of scholars working on China at
various universities and research institutes of Delhi. The Group conducted fortnightly
discussions on contemporary topics, and helped sustain China Report, the only Indian
journal on China and East Asia. In 1990, the China Study Group was reconstituted as the
Institute of Chinese Studies (ICS), an interdisciplinary East Asian research programme of
the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, Delhi.
The main function of the ICS is to promote the systematic study of China and East Asia
in India by initiating and supporting research programmes, both within the Institute and
outside. It seeks to provide a forum for sustained scholarly exchange and interaction
between Indian academics and scholars from China and other parts of the world, to build
up resource materials and a data-base on China, to disseminate information and research
findings to a wider public, as well as to train younger social scientists in East Asian
Studies.
Over recent years, the ICS has received financial and other support for its activities from
a number of sources, including the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India; the
Indian Council of Social Science Research; the Ford Foundation, New Delhi; the Japan
Foundation; the Sasakawa Peace Foundation, Japan; the Confederation of Indian Industry
(CII); and the Tata Iron and Steel Corporation (TISCO). Recent years have also seen the
consolidation of three new ICS programmes: the East Asia Programme, the Chinese
Economy Research Programme, and the India-China Comparative Studies Programme, as
well as the initiation of research focus on Vietnam and Korea.
ICS has been the nodal agency for the Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar (BCIM) Forum
for Economic Cooperation and the China-India-Russia Trilateral Academic Conference,
as well as a foundation member of the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA), Hainan. The
Institute also has MoUs with a number of institutions in China and elsewhere in Asia to
promote academic cooperation and research activities.
Three members of ICS Prof. Tan Chung,( Emeritus Fellow,ICS ) Prof. Manoranjan
Mohanty(Chairperson,ICS) and Prof. Sreemati Chakrabarty (Director,ICS) received
the China-India Friendship Award in December 2010 from the Chinese Premiere Wen
Jiabao for their contribution towards promoting India- China friendship.
