Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), which just completed seventy-five years, is a premier institute in the country. In its continued quest for being relevant to societal needs, the Institute established the School of Habitat Studies, its sixth school, in May 2008.
The school is given the mission of working on a broad range of issues surrounding human habitats, touching upon both the social and spatial dimensions of human habitations. The key words guiding the school's activities are; societal relevance and interdisciplinarity. The school endeavors to be relevant by focusing its work on issues faced by diverse stakeholders in the sectors connected with human habitats. The commitment to work on practical, on-field problems requires the school to transcend disciplinary boundaries and draw from the social, physical, and engineering sciences as well as from the disciplines of architecture and planning. The Habitat School, following the TISS tradition, has since evolved a triple-pronged agenda for itself - education, research, and extension.
