1 Overview

It is widely regarded that social science research enhances our understanding of the society and its functioning, provides policy inputs for socio-economic development and generates ideas and information that could be used in teaching and research. Thus, social science research renders vital services to the society and the country.
India has a long and rich tradition of social science teaching and research. Takshashila, Nalanda, Vikramashila, Valabhi, Pushpagiri and Somapura universities flourished as global centres of learning in different parts of India. The subjects taught in these universities included Vedas, Vedanta, Ayurveda, medicine and surgery, mathematics, astronomy, physics, metallurgy, civil engineering, architecture, philosophy, grammar, agriculture, economics, commerce, politics, state craft, military education, literature, craft etc. and these universities could set very high standards of teaching, learning and research for scholars from across the world. This system of Indian education produced scholars of great stature such as Aryabhatta, Bhaskaracharya, Mahaviracharya, Charaka, Susruta, Baudhayan, Chanakya, Brahmagupta, Panini, Patanjali, Nagarjuna, Pingala, Gargi, Kanad, Varahamihira, Thiruvalluvar and so on.
Social science teaching and research in the country, however, made a formal beginning with the introduction of modern university system in the second half of the 19th century

as the University of Mumbai (1857), University of Madras (1857), University of Calcutta (1857) and Allahabad University (1875) came into existence. The real break through came only after Independence with the rapid expansion of higher education system as a part of the planned socio-economic development. As the country's development process threw up numerous and diverse problems that required extensive research and analysis, Government of India established a Committee for Social Science Research under the chairmanship of Professor V.K.R.V. Rao in 1965 to review the social science research scenario in the country and make recommendations to accelerate its progress. This led to the establishment of the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR) in 1969 to encourage, promote and fund social science research in the country.
The ICSSR is an autonomous body under the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India and a premier organisation with 24 Research Institutes (grant-in-aid), five Recognised Research Institutes and six Regional Centres located in different parts of the country.
The ICSSR's aims and objectives as spelt out in its Memorandum of Association (MoA) are the following:
· To review and survey the progress of Social Science Research and advise the Government on policy issues;

4

ICSSR ANNUAL REPORT, 2019-20

· To fund and promote Social Science Research in Universities/Colleges/ Research Institutes;
· To award Doctoral, Post­doctoral, Senior and National Fellowships to researchers and faculties;
· To award Minor, Major and Collaborative Research Projects to researchers and faculties;
· To fund National and International seminars and conferences to disseminate social science research findings;
· To support training and capacity building programmes for young researchers and faculties;
· To provide international travel and data collection grant to scholars and faculties;
· To encourage international collaboration in social science research with well recognized foreign research funding agencies;
· To fund publication of journals and books in social science research and also strengthen professional social science associations/organizations;
· To provide library, documentation, data and online services for social science research;and
· To indicate periodic themes in neglected and new critical areas of research.
During the last about 51 years of its establishment, the ICSSR has been actively promoting and funding social science research in the country. It provides regular maintenance and development grant to its Research Institutes (on matching grant basis) to study national and regional research issues from inter-disciplinary perspectives. It also fully supports its six Regional Centres which represent the Council within their respective regions with a view to

spread the programmes and schemes of the ICSSR. Under the International Collaboration Programme, ICSSR has signed bilateral collaborative agreements with 12 countries including the United Kingdom, Japan, South Africa, Germany, South Korea, Switzerland, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Netherlands, Sweden, Taiwan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Cultural Exchange Programmes with three countries, namely, France, China and Thailand to engage in activities such as exchange of scholars, joint seminars, research projects, publications, exchange of books and periodicals. The ICSSR also participates in the activities of the international social science organizations like International Science Council (ISC), Science Council of Asia (SCA) and UNESCO etc. The Council has been identified as the nodal agency for participating in the activities of the UNESCO's MOST (Management of Social Transformation) programme and its implementation.
Since its inception, the ICSSR has granted 6719 Major, Minor and Collaborative Research Projects, awarded 8,658 Doctoral (6515 Fullterm and 2143 Short-term) Fellowships, 2574 Post-doctoral Fellowships, 795 Senior Fellowships and 174 National Fellowships. It has sponsored 4144 National and 1130 International seminars/conferences, funded 2144 scholars for attending seminars abroad and 458 scholars for data collection abroad. The ICSSR has sponsored 1029 Training & Capacity Building Programmes for young faculties and researchers, provided financial assistance to 1853 scholars for publication of their Doctoral Theses/Projects/Fellowship Reports/Conference Proceedings, financially supported 1008 social science journals and 374 professional associations involved in social science research activities. It has also conducted Six rounds of surveys of current status of research in some social science disciplines, namely, Economics, Political Science, Sociology

OVERVIEW

and Social Anthropology, Geography, and Psychology in the country. These surveys have also been published by ICSSR in collaboration with reputed publishers like Sage, Pearson and Oxford University Press (OUP) etc. The ICSSR used to publish prestigious social science research journal ­ `The Indian Social Science Review' which was discontinued in 2011. Now, we are restarting the journal; and papers have been invited for the same and are being reviewed by experts of eminence. Apart from this, the ICSSR provides research services like library, documentation, data and e-resources to several thousand social science scholars across the country through its National Social Science Documentation Centre (NASSDOC).
The ICSSR has been offering its research-based advice, whenever needed, to the Government of India on policy relevant issues and has contributed in the Newton-Vivekanand programme with the U.K. (2016). It has also carried out studies for various Ministries of Government of India including Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, Ministry of Minority Affairs, Ministry of Home Affairs, and the Ministry of Science and Technology. In addition, there is considerable presence of ICSSR studies and references in various policy documents and reports of the Ministries and the Planning Commission (erstwhile). Moreover, the Member Secretary and Council members have regularly participated and contributed to the deliberations of other government organisations involved in policy making or implementation such as the University Grants Commission, Indian Statistical Institute, Indian Council of World Affairs, Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation etc. Many officers of the ICSSR have also given their presentations on various schemes of the Council.
As the ICSSR has completed 51 years of its existence, it faces significant challenges alongside opportunities while giving direction

to social science research in India and actively participating in social science research at global level. According to a University Grants Commission Report (November 2018), there are 882 Universities in the country (48 Central Universities, 392 State Universities, 317 Private Universities and 125 Deemed to be Universities). Similarly, as per the data drawn from International Standard Series Number (ISSN) and Ulrich International Periodical Directory data books, there were 2131 social science journals published in India during the period 2000-2015.
The ICSSR Review Report (2007) mentions that while the scale and range of social science research in the country has expanded, the quality of research output of a majority of institutions as well as their contribution to a better understanding of socio-economic processes and shaping public policy, have fallen short of expectations. The quality also needs to be improved considering that the precious resources are being spent on research. The research quality constitutes a major challenge for all spheres of research in the country, including social science.
Moreover, with the introduction of National Institutional Ranking Framework in 2015, there is a greater focus on research as the rankings significantly depends on the research orientation and related output of the institutes or universities. The entire issue has raised the concerns of the policy makers to adopt newer strategies and best global practices for enhancing the research quality and culture to improve the global rankings of the Indian institutes and universities. Thus, all institutions entrusted with the task of promoting and supporting researches like the ICSSR face this key challenge of promoting advanced, novel and cutting-edge researches to help institutes and universities in improving their national and global rankings, and also build a robust research culture in the

6

ICSSR ANNUAL REPORT, 2019-20

country. There are enormous opportunities that place the ICSSR in an advantageous position to play a leading role in social science research, at country as well as international levels.
The 21st century is widely said to belong to Asia where India, Japan and China are perceived as major actors. India and China have already been emerging at a rapid growth rate in the last three decades. The end of the Cold War and the growing impact of globalisation also require India to redefine its position and role at the regional and global levels. Ever since economic liberalisation of the 1990s, India's global presence has been steadily rising. India is now one of the fastest growing economies for more than two and a half decades, and it is world's fifth largest economy after the United States, China, Japan, Germany and United Kingdom (in nominal GDP terms). In next few years, it is projected to be among the largest three economies of the world. There are many issues that constitute common research concerns of the world, and at the same time there are a number of country and policy specific research concerns that nations are interested in getting examined with a view to understanding the existing problems and finding their possible solutions. Rising population, national security, development pattern, water resources, climate change, sustainability, migration, urban infrastructure, inclusiveness etc. could be some of India's specific concerns. Many times, nations converge in terms of their common problems and so, the research concerns.
India's aspiration to become one of the global leaders in knowledge creation rests on its research capabilities and infrastructure. The researches ultimately have to and must serve the society and should contribute towards policy formulation and its objective assessment. At the same time, the modern researches are crossing the tight compartments of disciplines and moving towards inter and

multi-disciplinarity, where many disciplines combine their resources to achieve the common objective of larger welfare. In this respect, the ICSSR's role acquires a greater significance as we have been promoting such inter or multidisciplinary researches. Even developments in science and technology require a social science perspective for greater acceptability of new developments and preparing society to accept and adapt to those developments. Fortunately, all these aspects of robust research and innovation base have been well captured by the Draft National Education Policy, 2019 which underlines "Knowledge creation and research are well known to be centrally critical to growing and sustaining a large and vibrant economy, uplifting society, and continuously inspiring a nation to achieve even greater heights" ....... "A robust ecosystem of research is perhaps more important than ever with the rapid changes occurring in the world today....."
India is viewed as a major stakeholder in global political, economic and technological environment, and therefore its research output is expected to have a larger share in global quality researches. New researches are leading to many paradigm shifts and are challenging colonial concepts and theories. There is also a greater emphasis in the country on analyzing our problems based on our own socio-political and economic conditions instead of seeing them through unquestioned western prism and conditions. Such researches are better placed to solve various local or community and country specific problems and suggest innovative solutions and alternatives.
The ICSSR aspires to give a Big Push to social science research in India with the support of government and other research organisations. India's high growth rate of social science publications at international level (Scopus statistics) is a strong indicator of India's role now and also in years to come. Greatly

conscious of its new role, the ICSSR has undertaken some vital steps in this regard. Now it is focusing on both, quantitative expansion of its programmes and schemes and delivery of quality research output. During the

year 2019-20, the ICSSR has provided financial assistance to several hundred scholars, faculties and research organisations to encourage and promote quality social science research in the country as given in Table No.1.1.

researchers in social science; and f) to facilitate communication of research outputs among the academic community and also to provide key inputs to policy makers.
The ICSSR awards two types of Research Projects to Indian scholars: (a) Major and Minor Research Projects which were earlier known as Research Projects (Responsive) (b) Research Programmes which were previously known as Research Projects (Sponsored).
Major and Minor Research Projects
Major and Minor Projects are basically demanddriven as under this scheme, the ICSSR provides grant to scholars to conduct research largely on the topics of their choice. The yearwise position of research projects sanctioned since its inception and reports received till 31st March, 2020 is furnished in Table 2.1.
During the year 2019-20, ICSSR approved 320 Major and Minor Research Projects and received

the final reports of 236 research projects which were sanctioned in earlier years. The total expenditure incurred in 2019-20 for Research Projects was 935.17 lakh (736.84 under General,  137.26 under SC and 61.07 under ST Category). The grant includes expenditure on Major/Minor Research Projects and Research Programme.
Research Programmes
Research Programmes are a series of research studies undertaken simultaneously or sequentially on themes of significance and priority in policy and social science research. These studies, identified by the ICSSR from time to time, are expected to be inter-disciplinary or multidisciplinary or inter-institutional in nature for critical understanding of new social science research issues & areas and develop deeper understanding in terms of theory, methodology, new findings and policy outcomes. However, high impact studies that

Post-Doctoral Fellowships
Post-doctoral Fellowships are awarded to young Indian social scientists with a high potential and promise for conducting full time research on specific themes and issues proposed by the applicants. These studies are expected to contribute to theoretical and conceptual advancement in different disciplines, help to generate field work based empirical data and contribute in policy making. The ICSSR has so far awarded 2574 Post-doctoral Fellowships. During the year 2019-20, 269 Post-doctoral Fellowships were awarded and 204 final reports relating to previous years were received. The relevant details are given in Tables 2.5.
During the year, the total budget allocated for National/Senior/Post-doctoral Fellowship Schemes was  1849.62 lakh ( 1486.16 lakh for General,  277 lakh for SC and  86.46 lakh for ST Categories), which was fully utilized.

The ICSSR envisages the following Perspective Plan in respect of Fellowships:
1. Looking at the number of applications being received by the ICSSR from all over India and to attract sincere research scholars, ICSSR envisions that there is a need to relook at the amount of fellowship, duration and their number.
2. Digitalization of the guidelines by making them interactive, providing the facilities of online applications, acknowledgment of receipt of applications, status of applications, status of the ongoing fellowships, etc.
3. Releasing fellowships only in the accounts attached with PFMS (ICSSR 0877) instead of RTGS or cheques.
4. To ensure publication of its Outstanding/ Excellent/Very Good fellowship reports

for wider dissemination of research findings and benefit of the social science research community.
Further, the following steps have been initiated to strengthen the Fellowship Programme based on the feedback from the secretariat and the fellows:
Strong Award (Selection) Process: Currently, ICSSR is following a three-tier process of selection in which initially the applications are scrutinized by a Screening Committee. At the second stage, the proposals which are found eligible are evaluated by subject expert committees that assign grade and score to each proposal. Thereafter, based on the availability of seats, the applicants are invited for personal interaction/presentation before an Expert Committee in the order of merit. It is anticipated that the scholars selected through such a rigorous process would certainly produce high quality research work.
Streamlining the Process of Progress Monitoring: The scholars are required to submit the periodic progress reports. In order to ensure that, a well-structured proforma has been developed that covers various research aspects and stages. It gives a fairly good idea about the actual progress of the research work undertaken by the scholar, helps the scholar stick to his/her plan of research and thus, assists him or her in timely completion of the study.
Motivating Research Publications: Guidelines have been changed since last year to motivate scholars to produce at least two research papers/articles in reputed journals during the course of their research work. The scholars are also asked to present paper(s) in the conferences and seminars in India or outside India to get greater exposure in related areas of research.

Streamlining the Evaluation Process: In the past, the final reports under different fellowships, barring doctoral fellowship, were evaluated by subject experts. But this practice of expert evaluation of final reports was discontinued. Again, the process of expert evaluation has not only been revived, but also streamlined in the interest of objectivity. Based on best international practices, a proforma for the `Evaluation Report' has been prepared covering all aspects of a good research work in order to seek an objective evaluation report with explicit suggestions from the subject experts. The comments and suggestions of the expert are conveyed to the scholars to improve or revise his/her report (wherever required). The revised report is again sent to the expert for re-evaluation and final comments.
Dissemination of Research Findings: ICSSR has introduced a practice of taking second opinion on outstanding, excellent or very good reports in order to take those further for publication. In this regard, 3-4 meetings are held with reputed publishers for publication of such final research reports. Many of these reports are under publication.
Addressing the Problem of Default: A scholar is required to submit the final report of the fellowship or project within three to four months of the duration of fellowship or project. However, in many cases, the reports were not submitted or delayed much beyond acceptable time limit. The concerned Division continues to follow up with such scholars by writing to them, their supervisors and Vice-Chancellors/ Registrars/Directors of the affiliating institution requesting them to ensure submission of the report of their fellowship without such delay. Efforts are also made to contact the scholars through mail or phone to expedite the submission of reports. As a result, we have been able to reduce the pending cases quite considerably.

Doctoral Fellowships
ICSSR provides financial assistance to selected registered Ph.D. scholars to pursue and complete their doctoral thesis in social science disciplines. The main aim is to provide financial support to scholars to enable them to focus full time on their research work and bring out a quality research output in the form of their Ph.D. theses and publications.
ICSSR is providing Doctoral Fellowships under its `Centrally-Administered Doctoral Fellowship Scheme' and `Institutional Doctoral Fellowship Scheme' in accordance with the prescribed guidelines. Under `CentrallyAdministered Scheme', the fellowships are awarded and monitored directly by the ICSSR and the concerned doctoral fellows are affiliated to a university or college or research institute. Under the `Institutional Fellowship Scheme', the doctoral fellows are affiliated to and monitored by an ICSSR sponsored/ recognized Research Institute. The Call for the Centrally-Administered Fellowships is given by ICSSR itself and the fellowships are awarded after screening and evaluation by Expert Committees. The call for `Institutional Doctoral Fellowships' is given by the respective ICSSR Research Institute and after preliminary scrutiny, the short-listed applications are sent to ICSSR for evaluation by its experts and finalization of awards. Institutional Doctoral Fellowships essentially involve a tenure of two years on full time basis.
Within ICSSR's `Centrally-Administered Doctoral Fellowship Programme', there are following three types of schemes:
1. The Full-term Doctoral Fellowships are awarded for a period of two years or till submission of the thesis with the

university/research institute, whichever is earlier.
2. The Short-term Doctoral Fellowships are awarded for six months to support scholars who are at final stage of completing their doctoral work.
3. Contingency Grant is a consolidated grant for meeting expenses on thesis completion and it is provided to the scholars who have not received any other fellowship.
Centrally Administered Doctoral Fellowships, 2019-20
The ICSSR invited applications for `ICSSR Centrally-Administered Doctoral Fellow- ships for the year 2019-20 through online mode, by placing a Call for Applications on its website and other media in the last week of June 2019. In response, the Research Fellowship Division received a total of 2,896 applications for its three schemes under the 25 broad disciplines of social sciences. Out of which, 2,722 applicants applied for the regular Full-term Fellowships, 129 for Short-term Fellowships and 45 for Contingency Grant. After careful scrutiny of applications for eligibility by the Screening Committee, the 2,819 applications of eligible candidates were evaluated by the relevant Expert Committees. Finally, 450 Centrally-Administered Full-term Fellowships were initially awarded including 348 to General category candidates, 68 to Scheduled Caste and 34 to Scheduled Tribe categories.
In addition to this, 57 applicants were selected following similar procedure of selection for Short-term Fellowships and 17 for Contingency Grant. The total committed expenditure on the 524 new awards of Centrally Administered Doctoral Fellowships was  2424.72 Lakh.

The year-wise information of the ICSSR Fullterm Doctoral Fellowships awarded till 201920, withdrawals and final joining by the awardees over the years may be seen in the Table 2.7

The programme seeks to attract the best talent for fellowships following a rigorous selection process. In this pursuit, ICSSR shall continue to particularly focus on the relevance of the proposed research while taking into consideration the specific contributions that a study proposes in terms of generating data or knowledge and its implications on policy formulation or evaluation and future researches in that area.

Future Perspective
ICSSR shall continue its endeavour to support and encourage meritorious Ph.D scholars to pursue their doctoral research and provide quality research output through their theses and high quality publications.

ICSSR intends to enhance the number, duration and amount of the fellowship, especially in view of the fact that a large number of applications are being received every year and the rate of selection is just around 15-16%. It is expected to encourage promising post-graduates to take up doctoral studies and publish in high

18

ICSSR ANNUAL REPORT, 2019-20

impact journals. ICSSR also intends to support publication of outstanding or excellent Ph.D. works through highly reputed national/ international publishers. The objective is to facilitate and encourage young scholars for building better research capacities, and participation in research activities.

National and International Seminars/ Conferences
Sponsoring/funding Seminars/Conferences in India is one of the major activities of ICSSR to promote deliberations on issues of high importance in social science research. They provide opportunities to researchers and academicians to exchange views and research findings, discuss important research questions on policy relevant issues, and generate academic research reports on important social problems. Although the Council itself organises a few seminars, most of its support is in the form of partial financial assistance to academic institutions for organising national and international seminars or conferences.

This included 94 international and 227 national seminar proposals involving a total expenditure of 378.37 lakh. The list of seminars approved may be seen at Appendix-5. Further, the year-wise details about the seminars funded by the ICSSR since its inception may be seen in Table No 2.8.
Training and Capacity Building Programme
The basic requirement for a high-quality research in Social Science is the training in the science and art of doing research. While the philosophical basis of social science research is common to all disciplines of social sciences, different subjects have evolved their own theoretical frameworks and discipline specific techniques of research. However, scholars engaging themselves in interdisciplinary or multi-disciplinary research need to familiarize themselves with the research methodologies applied in disciplines other than their own in which they are trained. Moreover, from the stage of identification of research problem to methodology and finally, reporting and analysis of findings and also publication of these findings, there are several aspects in which a good researcher has to refine his/ her skills. Therefore, the ICSSR supports and sponsors Research Methodology and Capacity Building Programmes in Universities and Research Institutes.
The ICSSR provides grants to the social science faculties for organizing Research Methodology and Capacity Building Programmes for young researchers and faculties in various social science disciplines, which may include training in multi-disciplinary areas and research tools. The Programme is divided into the following two categories:

RESEARCH PROMOTION

19

(A) Research Methodology Course (RMC)
The aim of the course is to enhance the methodological and writing skills of the PDF/ Ph.D./M.Phil. scholars and develop their potentials as future faculties or social science researchers.
(B) Capacity Building Programme (CBP)
The objective of this programme is to expose the young faculties, mainly Assistant Professors, in social science disciplines to the latest advances in their subjects and also to improve their capacity in understanding of methodology and writing skills.
Since 1971 when the programme was first conceptualised and till 2019-20, 1029 Research Methodology and Capacity Building Programmes have been funded by the ICSSR. During the year under report, a total of 233 proposals for both Research Methodology Course and Capacity Building Programme (RMC- 145 and CBP- 88) were received and placed before the Expert Committees for evaluation. The Committees had approved 67 proposals, 47 under Research Methodology Programme and 20 under Capacity Building Programme with a total expenditure of 252.78 lakh. The lists of Research Methodology Course and Capacity Building Courses approved during the year may also be seen at Appendix-6
The details about RMC and CBP courses organised/funded by the ICSSR is given in Table 2.9

ICSSR Research Institutes
The ICSSR provides maintenance and development grant to 24 Research Institutes. Sponsoring of Research Institutes outside the scope of the University Grants Commission has been one of the major endeavours of the Council in enlarging the base of social science knowledge, improving the quality of research and promoting an interdisciplinary perspective. These institutes constitute important instruments for implementing the Council's policy of spread of research talent and building up of research capabilities in the different regions of the country, particularly in the areas where social science research was or has not been well developed.
The Research Institutes have established close links with the scholars in the region as well as elsewhere through various activities such as seminars, workshops, training and consultancy programmes. Some of the institutes are closely associated with national and state level planning and development agencies and have,

thus, strengthened the links between research and policy making.
Each institute determines its own direction of research, which includes a wide spectrum of subjects related to agricultural and rural development, industrial structure and growth, income distribution and poverty, employment and wages, inter-regional differences in levels of development, education, health, nutrition, problems of weaker sections of society including women, energy, technology, ecology and environment, and social, cultural and institutional aspects of development. Thus, research studies have generated substantial empirical knowledge of the structure of Indian economy, polity and society and their dynamics both at the national and regional levels.
During the last five years, the institutes have completed 1335 research projects, while 1689 are continuing at various stages. These cover a wide spectrum of issues relating to areas that are already mentioned above. What is more

30

3 International Collaboration

Promoting social science research through international collaboration is one of the major approaches followed by the ICSSR. Under this programme, the Council provides opportunity to both Indian and foreign scholars to interact, learn, research and contribute to social science in India and abroad. The Council undertakes several important activities under the programme which include bilateral and multilateral collaborations with foreign funding councils and social science organisations, providing financial assistance to Indian scholars for presenting papers in international conferences & data collection abroad etc.
The ICSSR has established strong bilateral social science collaborative agreements with its counterparts abroad. Besides, the Council is one of the implementing agencies of the Cultural Exchange Programme and Educational Exchange Programme of the Government of India with other countries.
Our crucial task is to promote and fund innovative, interdisciplinary/multi-disciplinary and policy relevant social science research in the country and thus, lead the way in which social science research is to be shaped and strengthened in India which also incorporates collaborative research with similar Councils or agencies abroad. Its vision is to nurture, train and build capacity of social scientists through a comprehensive, challenging and innovative training in research.
The ICSSR in its endeavor to encourage dialogue and discussion on important issues

of social science relevance provides financial assistance to organize national & international conferences/seminars in India. The ICSSR's `Seminar Grant Scheme' aims at facilitating research in discipline specific areas of social science as well as in interdisciplinary areas.
The International Collaboration Programme of the ICSSR provides an opportunity to both Indian and foreign scholars in the field of social sciences to interact and research. Financial assistance is also provided to Indian social scientists, who have been invited to present and contribute paper at seminars/conferences abroad. The ICSSR also provides financial assistance to social scientists who have a plan to visit abroad for the purpose of data collection or consulting archival material in connection with their research work.
The ICSSR has emerged, over the years, as a premier social science research organization in India with a highly visible international presence. Activities relating to promoting academic links among social scientists of India and other countries of the world have been the prime task of the International Collaboration Division. The Division, on behalf of the Council, leads programmes of collaboration and joint research with several countries and organizations.
International Collaborations

papers at international conferences abroad. In its second programme, ICSSR provides financial assistance to scholars who intend to visit abroad for the purposes of data collection or consulting archival material in connection with their research work.
During the year 2019-20, 194 scholars availed travel grant for participation in international conferences & data collection abroad (Appendix-9). The International Collaboration programme has spent a total of `258.40 lakh for all its activities during the year 2019-20.
Further, year-wise details about the Travel Grant funded by the ICSSR since its inception may be seen in Table No. 3.4

Impactful Policy Research in Social Science (IMPRESS) Scheme

Every nation, at all points of time, aspires to witness encouraging developments in all dimensions of its life which include economic, social, political, cultural, educational and other dimensions. These aspirations have driven mankind to assess the needs of the society and innovate accordingly. The very process of evolution suggests how mankind has faced problems and challenges at every successive stage of development and attempted to overcome these difficulties and adversities through its creativity, innovativeness and advancement of new techniques and tools. Thus, the task of nation-building and progress of the society remain ever continuing.
Many scientists and researchers believe that nation building is an outcome of developments in science & technology or in capital formation. This view gained prominence in almost all major countries of the world which has led to larger parts of their societies failing to match the swiftness of developments in science & technology. Hence, a number of issues pertaining to development gaps, imbalances, poverty, malnutrition, exploitation of various kinds, inequality, tension, stress, violence, discrimination, security etc. have emerged. These issues have acted and continue to act as impediments to the very process of potential development and well-being. So, every society needs thorough study of such problems, their causative factors, inter-related issues, acceptable explanations and workable solutions under demanding situations.

The Scenario of Social Science Research (SSR)
Many commissions and committees of the government as well as thinkers have felt that there is a perceptible degree of disparity between thrust on science & technology and social development. Several committees have strongly recommended to encourage and promote social science research (SSR) and its greater participation in public policy. India's first Higher Education Commission, 1950 (Radhakrishnan Commission) highlighted the disparity between natural and social science, and contended for assigning greater importance to social science research. Indian Education Commission (196466), popularly known as `Kothari Commission', emphasized the need for development of scientific approach in social science research and also urged for the knowledge creation in these areas through training and capacity building programmes. The Commission also recommended for greater allocation of resources for SSR. Though, India's first Education Policy i.e. `National Policy of Education (NPE), 1968' implicitly held Social Science as Policy Science, yet it insisted on science education and research for national development. However, the Policy recommended that the `Centres of Advanced Study' should be established or strengthened for the upliftment of social scientific research. The `National Policy of Education, 1986' and `Programme of Action, 1992' insisted to minimise the gap between researchers and policy makers and to maintain focus on policy driven research, especially the SSR. The Policy also endorsed the view that inter-disciplinary

and trans-disciplinary researches generate greater utility than purely unidisciplinary researches. There is no doubt that research domains have widened in both, science and technology researches as well as in social science researches. There is a growing appreciation of rising degree of complementarity in researches in both the spheres as the two have to be deeply interconnected in order to maximize the benefits from such scientific explorations.
Science and technology research, which upholds to improve the quality of life, needs to be entirely connected with the society as any deficiency in expected degree of its association with the society is bound to result in concentration of benefits among very few people. Besides, there is a fair degree of realization that social science research and social scientists need to be closely connected to the policy making at all levels, including that in science and technology because the idea is to translate researches into impactful policy documents to help research findings bring about still more improvement in the quality of life. It can happen only when research problems emanate from the society & its problems, and researchers endeavour to provide some pragmatic solution to those problems. The linking of social science research with that of science & technology research is bound to provide a very powerful insight even to the researchers in science and help them make their researches or innovations more agreeable to the society. It would also inspire potential social scientists to contribute more vigorously and enthusiastically in policy making. There is no doubt that social science researches are extremely important for policy conception, implementation and final delivery as every policy eventually is to be appreciated and accepted by the society for its (policy's) making attempt to serve the society much better. Identification of critical issues also assists the policy makers to formulate better and more agreeable policies, schemes and

programmes. In this connection, the role of social science ecosystem is also very crucial. There is no refutation of the fact that no public policy can be very successfully implemented without discussing it with the society, without being aware of society's aspirations, and also without acquainting the society with new and major developments.
In Scopus database, India is now ranked at 8th position for its social science publications and its share in global publications is nearly 2.8% whereas in Science & Technology publications, India is ranked at 3rd place and its share is around 7.8%. The share of expenditure on social science research is 0.025 per cent of the budget of the central government while it is 0.86% for science research. Thus, the expenditure on social science research is less than 3% of that on science research. Thus, in order to tap the potentials of social science research optimally, it required a big push for which IMPRESS makes a sincere attempt in the expected direction.
IMPRESS (Impactful Policy Research in Social Science)
Impactful Policy Research in Social Science (IMPRESS) is an idea of its own kind as it aims to provide a research-based roadmap to address policy challenges pertaining to society and the social science research expanses. The researchbased inputs are the central prerequisites in the process of policy making as a policy should evolve from the society and its concerns; and the policy is finally expected to respond to societal aspirations. It has been pointed out that the gaps of any kind between policy makers and the society need to be bridged. Social science researchers can be very helpful in identification of the gaps between the society and policy makers and they may attempt to provide vital evidence-based inputs about the perception, appreciation and outreach of the policies among people. Besides, there may be

50

ICSSR ANNUAL REPORT, 2019-20

critical areas where policy makers require timely inputs, evidence, feedback and participation in order to make policy considerably effective. So, IMPRESS is dedicated to address the issue of bridging the gap between policy making & implementing and the society by generating or encouraging crucial inputs at the end of researches in important social science spheres so as to assist in having maximum impact on governance and society.
The domain and sub-domain areas need to be identified in a way that encompasses most of key subjects under public policy debate due to new developments, earnest concerns, emerging issues and grave deficiencies. Based on these aspects, the following eleven (11) important broad domain areas have been identified after a fair degree of consultations:
1. State and Democracy
2. Urban Transformation
3. Media Culture and Society
4. Employment Skills and Rural Transformation
5. Governance,InnovationandPublicPolicy
6. Growth, Macro-trade and Economic Policy

Some of these sub-domains include India as a Welfare State, Nature of Federalism in India, Security & Defence Policy, India's Soft Power Policy, Diaspora, Indian Portrayal, Regional Cooperation, Urbanisation, CitiesandSustainability, Urban/City Governance, Urban Transportation, Women Empowerment and its Status, Inclusion and Development of Scheduled Castes &Tribes, Skill and Employability, Rural Transformation, Infrastructure and Transportation, Technology for Rural Transformation, E-Governance and Smart Governance, Innovation, Knowledge and Governance, Technology and Governance, Growth, Inclusiveness, Poverty and Inequality, Ease of Doing Business, Make in India Initiative, Financial Inclusion, Revitalisation of Manufacturing, Informal Sector Issues, Agrarian Distress and related Issues, Food and Nutrition Security, State Level Developments, Environmental Problems and Climate Change, Water Problem, Swachh Bharat Initiative, Universal Health, Disaster and Its Management, Science & Society, Access, Equity and Quality in Higher Education, Digital Learning, Technology and Social Media, Social MediaNetworks, Ethics, Accountability and Big Data Issues, Bureaucracy & Administrative Reforms, Judicial Activism, Rape Survivors and Justice System etc.

7. Agriculture and Rural Development
8. Health and Environment
9. Science and Education
10. Social Media and Technology
11. Politics, Law and Economics
Since IMPRESS intends to support social science scholars, academicians and policy makers for greater impact of research and policy, and for that, it aims to connect social science researches having their objective assessment of ongoing policies with the policy makers. The scheme has more than 100 sub-domain areas within the above mentioned broad 11 domain areas.

The proposal of Impactful Policy Research in Social Sciences named as IMPRESS scheme was approved by Government of India in August 2018 with a total budget of  414 crore spread over three financial years for its implementation starting from October 2018. ICSSR being a highly reputed Social Science Research Council under the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Department of Higher Education, Government of India, was entrusted with the responsibility of implementing the scheme. ICSSR would also contribute a small part its research project grant towards funding of IMPRESS scheme.

IMPACTFUL POLICY RESEARCH IN SOCIAL SCIENCE (IMPRESS) SCHEME

The scheme has a target to award a minimum of 1500 research projects and 200 seminars/ conferences/workshops over the scheme period. Regular faculty from institutes of national importance, central and state universities, private universities/institutes having UGC12(B) status, and ICSSR research institutes can apply for research programme or projects and seminars under IMPRESS. The proposals are to be invited in a competitive mode through open calls (three to four) and the first call was launched in October 2018. The evaluation process is quite transparent as each proposal is blind peer reviewed by three experts who are assigned proposals through a computer driven system. Based on the recommendations of the experts and merit, the proposals are shortlisted for presentation & interaction before another Expert Committee which makes its observations/recommendations for the consideration of the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee takes the final decision in the light of merit, observations and recommendations of the Expert Committee/s, including the budgetary aspect.

# Reasons for Excess of Income over Expenditure:
1) The overspent grant of  199.05 lakhs under Non-plan/Plan is mainly due to non-receipt of Plan grant of  77.50 lakh from State Government and also due to increase in unavoidable research and maintenance costs.
2) The overspent amount of  201.86 lakhs under sponsored project & Seminar and Workshops is due to meeting of expenditure in respect of grants released in advance for on-going project in previous year.
3) The overspent amount of  17.49 lakh under Fellowship is due to continuation of scholars during the next financial year for which the amount was received in advance from ICSSR.

* The expenditure incurred on salary and maintenance of office premises are committed expenditure and, therefore, it is a fixed cost and cannot be reduced. The IDSJ has limited sources of Income, viz., (i) Grant from ICSSR, (ii) Grant from Government of Rajasthan and (iii)
Own Source Income. Government of Rajasthan has been releasing a fixed grant amount of  40.00 lakh for the last 10 years. The faculty strength in IDSJ was only five during the reference period against the sanctioned post of 16, of which two senior faculty members have been holding Director and Secretary posts for the last few years. To a great extent, generation of own income through research projects, workshops and seminars have been constrained by the miniscule size of faculty in IDSJ. The excess of expenditure over income ( 137.27 lakh) may be viewed against the backdrop explained above

Separate Audit Report of the Comptroller & Auditor General of India on the Accounts of Indian Council of Social Science
Research, New Delhi for the year ended 31 March 2020
We have audited the attached Balance Sheet of Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), New Delhi as at 31 March 2020, Income & Expenditure Account and Receipts & Payments Account for the year ended on that date under Section 20 (1) of the Comptroller and Auditor General's (Duties, Powers & Conditions of Service) Act, 1971. The audit has been entrusted for the period 2023-24. These financial statements include the accounts of six Regional Centers of the ICSSR. Out of these, accounts of two Regional Centers were audited and considered for report. These financial statements are the responsibility of the ICSSR's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
2. This Separate Audit Report contains the comments of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India on the accounting treatment only with regard to classification, conformity with the best accounting practices, accounting standards and disclosure norms, etc. Audit observation on financial transactions with regard to compliance with the Law, Rules & Regulations (Propriety and Regularity) and efficiency-cum-performance aspects, etc., if any, are reported through Inspection Reports/CAG's Audit Reports separately.
3. We have conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in India. These standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall presentation of financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
4. Based on our audit, we report that:
i. We have obtained all the information and explanations, which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our audit;
ii. The Balance Sheet, Income & Expenditure and Receipts & Payments Account dealt with by this report have been drawn up in the format prescribed by Government of India, Ministry of Education subject to observation in the report;
iii. In our opinion, proper books of accounts and other relevant records, except as stated in the report, have been maintained by the ICSSR in so far as it appears from our examination of such books.

A.1.1 Fixed Assets (Schedule 4) - Rs. 15.74 crore As per Significant Accounting Policy No. 4, depreciation is provided as per the rates specified in the Income Tax Act.

Further, the disclosed accounting policy was also not followed. The computers were depreciated @ 60% instead of 40% as specified in the IT Act. This has resulted in overstatement of Depreciation and understatement of Fixed Assets by Rs.4.37 latch.

This has resulted in overstatement of Loans, Advances & Deposits and understatement of Expenditure by Rs. 18.05 lakh.
B. Significant Accounting Policies and Notes on Accounts Accounting Policy No. 10 regarding accounting of liabilities towards the gratuity payable on death/retirement of employees and leave encashment benefits to employees on actual basis, is in contravention of the Format of Accounts prescribed by Ministry of Education and Accounting Standard 15 which stipulates that provisions should be made in the accounts for retirement benefits on the basis of actuarial valuation. This is being pointed out since 2014-15 but remedial action has not been taken.
