Production of knowledge that facilitates social transformation is
primary concern of Madhya Pradesh Institute of Social Science Research.
Over the years, from decentralised governance, MPISSR has diversified its
activities to social justice, tribals in modern world, poverty alleviation
and rural development, food security and agrarian policies. Failing
paradigm of development and increasing policy failures in reaching rural
masses have found its manifestation in diversifying our activities.
Realising that understanding of process of marginalisation is only a
necessary condition for transforming the society, a deliberate attempt was
made in creating political
awareness and awareness about rights of the deprived sections.
Consequently, MPISSR side by
side developed training modules for grassroots functionaries and started
sensitising the functionaries of decentralised governance. Notwithstanding
the spectrum of activities, the research undertaken could be categorised
in the following nine thrust areas.
