Since its establishment in 2008, CSSIU has collaborated with academic institutions, civil society organizations, and policymakers to generate meaningful insights into caste, ethnicity, gender, migration, housing, and socio-economic inequality. Its research supports informed decision-making and contributes to inclusive governance and sustainable development.
