Research Projects

The IASSI was set up primarily to assist, facilitate and promote research in areas of social concern which call for interdisciplinary perspective and hence cooperation among various researching bodies. Therefore, it assumes direct responsibility for research projects only occassionally. The following two projects were completed in recent years.
