From the Director’s Desk

Dr. L. Ladusingh, Officiating Director and Senior Professor

The International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS) has completed 61 years of its glorious

existence as an institution for training and research with international repute. Over the years,

the Institute has contributed significantly in skill enhancement and human resource

development in the field of population studies, reproductive health, gender studies, ageing,

biostatistics and epidemiology, migration and urban studies, development, quantitative and

qualitative analysis. Large scale nation-wide demographic and health surveys conducted by the

Institute in the past decades served as key inputs for evidence based policies and programs of

various ministries in the country.

IIPS is the only university of its kind in the world fully devoted to demographic training and

research. The courses offered by the institute are unique in contents providing strong

foundation on technical and substantive demography, statistical and demographic softwares,

communication and presentation skills, research paper preparations and publications. Students

of the Institute regularly participate in national and international seminars and conferences.

Many who are trained at the Institute now occupy important positions in the field of population

and health in governments, universities and reputed national and international organizations.

The Institute provides fellowship to all students enrolled in various courses. We have a friendly,

green and wifi-enabled campus with students from all parts of the country living and working

together. The Institute maintains an excellent library with most recent publications on

population, health and related issues.

It is my pleasure to welcome you to IIPS. I am sure that the expertise and experience of our

faculty and staff will enrich your knowledge and skills to face a highly competent world, to

ABOUT THE INSTITUTE

The International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS), Mumbai, formerly known as the Demographic

Training and Research Centre (DTRC) till 1970, was established in July 1956 under the joint sponsorship

of Sir Dorabji Tata Trust, the Government of India and the United Nations. It serves as a regional centre

for Training and Research in Population Studies for the ESCAP region. The Institute was re-designated to

its present title in 1985 to facilitate the expansion of its academic activities. It was declared as a

'Deemed University' on August 19, 1985 under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956 by the Ministry of Human

Resource Development, Government of India. The recognition has facilitated the award of recognized

degrees by the Institute itself and paved the way for further expansion of the Institute as an academic

institution. In 2006, the Institute celebrated its Golden Jubilee.

IIPS holds a unique position among all the regional population centres. It was the first such centre to be

started, and it serves a much larger population than any of the other regional centres. The Institute is

under the administrative control of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India.

There are seven Academic Departments in the Institute. The faculty members and the supporting staff

belong to diverse interdisciplinary background with specialisation in some core areas of population

sciences, trained in India or abroad.

The Institute is the hub of population and health related teaching and research in India, playing a vital

role for planning and development of the country. During the past years, students from different

countries of Asia and the Pacific region, Africa and North America have been trained at the Institute. The

alumni are occupying prestigious positions at national and international organisations, universities and

colleges and non-governmental reputed organisations. Besides teaching and research activities, the

Institute also provides consultancy to the Government and Non-Governmental organizations and other

academic institutions.

During the last six decades the Institute has organized many seminar and conferences of National and

International level in the field of population studies which are of worldwide importance. Institute had

conducted many important surveys like National Family Health Survey (NFHS), District Level Household

Survey (DLHS), Assessment of National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), YOUTH in India Project, Global

Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS India Project), Research Intervention on Sexual Health Theory to Action

(RISHTA Project), Nutrition Surveys and Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI).

E) STUDENTS’ PRACTICAL LEARNING: THEORY TO PRACTICE

The academic programs at IIPS necessitates students to familiarize themselves with software packages

and data analysis packages like STATA, SPSS, R, SAS, MORTPAK, MLWiN, MATLAB, Arc GIS, ERDAS etc.

21

24

Students analyze different large scale datasets like NFHS, DLHS, IHDS, SAGE, LASI, NSSO etc. with these software packages. This enhances students’ conceptual and analytical reasoning power.

Thesis, term paper and assignments are an integral part of the evaluation process different programs offered in IIPS. They are important and necessary value additions to the students' understanding of the

subjects. Assignments and presentations have weightage in overall evaluation of performance during the course.

Application of an appropriate analytical framework, along with empirical evidence, is a sure test of the

students' understanding of concepts at hand. Empirical analysis is carried out using highly advanced econometric packages which create a bridge between theory and application. Students generally form

groups for data collection and fieldwork is conducted in different areas of Mumbai under different topics of population and health. This approach incorporates a spirit of teamwork, learning and knowledge sharing. It allows for discussion and expose to different perspectives and situations which

provides a more realistic picture of the problem. Data is analyzed with different software and results are presented to a panel of experts. Field visiting and primary data collection is compulsory for different

courses taught in the institution.

Presentations are integral part of different programs of the Institution. Students are assigned for presentations on different topics as part of every paper being taught during the course. Besides these

assignments, at the final stage, students are required to prepare and present thesis/paper to a panel of experts and peers. In the process they are exposed to multiplicity of questions related to chosen topic.
