| CSDS - Centre for the Study of Developing Societies | |
|
The Centre for the Study of Developing Societies, also called the CSDS or informally, just the Centre, is a premier institute of India in the social sciences and humanities. The Centre provides a unique institutional space which seeks to nurture intellectual interests outside the entrenched boundaries of academic disciplines. This simultaneously gives the Centre a sense of intimacy with and distance from universities. Therefore, the Centre has deliberately chosen not to duplicate the structure of university department. This also allows the Centre to support and nurture interdisciplinary modes of enquiry. Over the years, the Centre has also managed to generate and utilize a productive tension between rigorous scholarly work and social movements, between academic commitment and political practices. It has been frequently engaged with contentious contemporary issues which have shaped its academic programme and contributed to struggles for dignity, livelihood and creative self expression. At the same time the CSDS zealously and meticulously guards its own space of reflective distance, theoretical work and research which has no obvious visibility in the public domain.

The planet's "third pole" -- the Himalaya and the Tibetan Plateau -- is a climate change hotspot. The threat to the region's cryosphere -- its vast, frozen stores of fresh water -- and to the countries in its watersheds is of global importance. "the third pole" is a forum to inform, discuss and search for solutions to this gathering regional crisis.
The Third Pole is a part of the chinadialogue.net which is an independent, non-profit organisation based in London, Beijing and San Francisco. It was launched on July 3, 2006. chinadialogue is funded by a range of institutional supporters, including several major charitable foundations.। |
