The Centre for Economic
and Social Studies (CESS) was established as an autonomous research
Centre in 1980. Appreciating its role in the promotion of research
and training, the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR)
(Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India)
recognized it as a national institute in the year 1986 and included
the Centre in its network of institutions. Conducting
interdisciplinary research in
analytical and applied areas of social sciences, encompassing
socio-economic and other aspects of development, constitute the
predominant activities of the Centre. Its sphere of research
activity has expanded beyond the state of A.P., covering other areas
of the country as well. |
