Indian Council of Social Science Research subsidiary
The countries in green are considered to be newly industrialising nations. China and India (in dark green) are special cases.
The Institute for Studies in Industrial Development (ISID) is a public-funded, non-profit, autonomous institution dedicated to conducting policy research, advocacy, capacity-building, and outreach activities to foster the industrial transformation of India.
Registered on October 7, 1986, under the Indian Societies Registration Act 1860, ISID in 1988, became one of the institutions that are supported by the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), (Government of India), through grants-in-aid. Since 2006, the Institute operates from its own well-appointed campus located in the Vasant Kunj Institutional Area in South Delhi.
ISID owes its origin to the vision and leadership of its founder, Late Prof S K Goyal.
