Summer School Workshop 2024: 24-29 July, 2024
Research in Social Science: Theories, Methods, and Writing Skills
This workshop is designed to introduce doctoral, graduate students and researchers to the process of scientific research in the social sciences, business, education, public health, and related disciplines. This focuses on the entire “research process” in social science discipline from start to end covering all the aspects of qualitative and quantitative methods. Research method is only one phase in that research process, and possibly the easiest and most structured one. Most workshops cover research methods in depth, but leave out the more challenging, less structured, and probably more important issues such as theorizing and thinking like a researcher, which are often prerequisites of empirical research.
Workshop Objectives:
1. To provide theoretical and conceptual clarity in social science research.
2. To develop sound methodological base in conducting scientific research, and to prepare participants for interdisciplinary academic discourses
3. To focus on academic writing fundamentals and academic writing abilities.
4. To provide the research scholars with a set of skills and potentiality to commence the research in the field of Social Sciences very effectively, so that the researchers can give the output of their research in the high-quality published work.

Tribal Religions and Freedom Struggle
2nd – 3rd MARCH 2023
The last date for abstract submission and registration will be 1st March 2023.
Concept Note and Themes
Tribals in India are diverse in their languages, cultures and living conditions. This diversity adds to the diversity of India. These diversities in beliefs nurture and guide their worldviews. Neighbouring groups and foreigners have constantly attacked their beliefs. Their religions have never been given due respect they deserve. Besides being labelled superstitious and wild, their belief systems have always been regarded as a significant factor for their so-called backwardness. Their religious lives have invariably been considered to be village affairs. For a long time, their religions have been misconstrued by their neighbours and foreigners as detrimental to human progress. Scholars have not sufficiently studied the roles played by tribal religions. This is particularly so in the context of the Indian freedom struggle.
SUB-THEMES:
Tribal religion, Tribal religious movements, Tribal political movements, Tribal rites of passage, Tribal festivals, Freedom struggle, Forest rights, Tribal religious leaders, Tribal freedom fighters, Tribal literature, Tribal folktales and songs, and other related themes

National Seminar on
India@75 years of Independence: Celebrating Unsung Women Freedom Fighters
December 27-28, 2022
Organised by: Govind Ballabh Pant Social Science Institute, Jhusi, Prayagraj, UP
Concept Note with Sub-themes
The proposed conference as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, (celebrating India’s Freedom after seventy-five years of independence) intends to celebrate the lesser known freedom fighters especially women whose contribution in India’s freedom struggle while very important but less discussed. The freedom struggle was successful owing to the popular base it had. It certainly included the thousands of men and women who were instrumental in driving the British away. India’s freedom struggle witnessed support from every nook and corner of the country. It thrived on the academic ground and flourished with the increased contribution of each and every member of Indian society. The history of India is full of the sacrifices made by common people as by the frontline leadership. As post-modernist approach to social sciences emphasises, there has always been a closer inter-linkage between knowledge and power. In the process of documentation and the hierarchy of narratives that dominate socio-political milieu; sacrifices and contributions of those who are at the margins, especially Dalitwomen, tribal women and women as a whole remained less celebrated.

Education has always been perceived as one of the most important and critical inputs that has the capability for bringing about substantial transformation in the socio-economic and cultural aspects of the people, region and the nation. Eve r since the launching of first five year plan in the early fifties of twentieth century, greater emphasis has been placed on enhancing its coverage and scope. The launching of plethora of educational programmes in the subsequent plan periods bear testimony to the face how serious the government has been towards its commitment.
The impact of these endeavours could be summed up as a mixed one. It could be summarised as the saga of success and failures, triumph and disappointments and integration and marginalization. While success, triumph and integration were achieved in the field of enhancement of physical infrastructure, teachers’ and students enrolment, over all literacy rates; disappointment, failure, and marginalization were witnessed in the form of high levels of dropout rates of the students at the primary and secondary levels, heightening of the gender disparities, marginalization of deprived community students, dilution in the quality of education etc.
Concern of these developments, the government, on her part, appointed various committees and expert groups to look into the overall working of educational sector and suggest appropriate suggestions and interventions. Based on their recommendations, the government finally launched a very ambitious programme that is known as Sarva Siksh Abhiyaan (SSA) in the year 2001.
It is relevant to recall that prior to SSA, the country had witnessed a plethora of educational programmes that had been launched in various plan period. However, in the absence of a proper and effective guideline, these programmes often tended to criss-cross each other domain, often blunting the thrust, focus and scope. In SSA, these inconsistencies and anomalies have been adequately addressed. The programme not only aims at expediting the process of universaliation of elementary programme, but also tend to empower the principal stake holders through a host of relevant social intervention and make the people socially accountable. What has been unique about this programme has been its complete compatibility with earlier educational programmes that operated independently. Under SSA, the entire spectra of educational programmes that start with early childhood care and carry through the elementary and post elementary phase has been brought under its umbrella.
Sarva Siksha Abhiyan has now been in operation for now more than one a decade and a half. It will be interesting to see to what extent the programme has succeeded to address the issues of univerasalisation of education, gender empowerment, social equity and inclusion, social accountability, access etc. How have the interventions envisaged under SSA have performed not only in streamlining the programme but also in promoting the concept of social empowerment, social inclusion and social harmony! The sub themes of the seminar have been summarised as follows
