ABOUT TISS
Sir Dorabji Tata was passionate about social
upliftment, education and its reach across the
country “without any distinction of place,
nationality or creed”. Therefore he put his heart and
his wealth into the creation of premier institutes of
learning, research and social advancement through
a trust. One such institution was the Sir Dorabji Tata
Graduate School of Social Work, which had its
humble beginning in 1936 with 20 students. The
institute was a pioneering effort in the field of Social
Science study, research and practice in India. It was
set up in response to Dr. Clifford Manshardt’s vision
of a post-graduate school of social work, of a
national stature.
