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.

The school was renamed ‘Tata institute of Social


Sciences’ in 1944.

The institute made a mark in the history of social


work in India, through pioneering efforts like
publishing the Indian Journal of Social Work, which
is the first journal of social work in South Asia. The
institute then and now is known for its prompt and
efficient response in sending relief in the face of
natural and man-made disasters.

Recognized as a deemed university in 1964, and


primarily funded by the University Grants
Commission, TISS broadened its span to more
specialized courses in the field of social work and
social research, and has been awarded score of 3.88
out of 4 (CGPA) and Grade A by the National
Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) on
31st December 2009.

Over six decades of its eventful existence the


institute has witnessed a meteoric rise and the birth

Management and Labor Studies, Rural

like a walk in the woods, with each tree and shrub growing
and proliferating on its own, albeit not wildly.

INTERNSHIPS:

One of the most distinctive features of the curriculum at TISS is the internship, a continual program, included in 2nd, 3rd and 4th Qualification Profile
semesters. It provides hands on experience and knowledge about the health sector wherein students see the theories they learn in
classrooms being applied in real challenges. Students are assigned to organizations, based on previous education, and past work
experience. Three, five week internships for the health administration students expose them to live projects involving the national

The final block internship towards the end of the curriculum entails every student to work in any healthcare organization of their
choice, without any compensation, for a period of 1 month. This internship reiterates the ethos of the institute that is ingrained in
each student – service to the society. Though the students have been well placed before the period of this internship, they
