Who We Are

Institute of Social and Cultural Studies (ISCS) as an autonomous organization started its journey a decade back with an imperative to address social, cultural, political issues, development and contemporary happenings through events, national and international activities and vista of publications.

The Institute, as a part of its journey has received immense support and encouragement from policy makers, national and international academicians, research scholars, government officials as well as business communities. Their inputs, ideas enable Institute’s reach to global communities beyond the boundaries that now includes South, South-East Asia and East Africa.

The research and academic attributes of the institute capacitate to delineate historical intricacies, address socio-cultural issues of disparate communities and the matters such as security, strategy, economy, development, energy, resources and global governance in-depth.
