Globalisation and Social Transformation : The Indian Experience

The conference will take place at the Tata Institute of Social Sciencesin Mumbai. It seeks to provide a platform to academicians, activists, practitioners and researchers from multiple disciplines nationally and internationally to discuss and debate the challenges of Globalisation and the ensuing social transformation. While the conference seeks to locate the deliberations that are India focused, the aim is to draw lessons for global society. The larger goal is to enhance understanding, identify newer areas and methods of intervention and policy advocacy tools for dealing with globalisation and social transformation issues (Photo by Lecercle from Flickr).
