Real identity of any institution is neither its building nor its walls, but it always comes from its works. The Indian Institute of Advanced Study (IIAS), Shimla, has carved a distinct identity for itself by its academic and research achievements. The institute has been a symbol of academic excellence and intellectual rigour.
He said, This institute of national importance is realising the dream of former President Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan to restore the ancient tradition of knowledge and Learning in India. It has been at the forefront for promoting interdisciplinary research and critical thinking for a long time. It has been a Catalyst for innovation and played a significant role in shaping the intellectual landscape of our country.
The Governor said this institute was basically devoted to in-depth theoretical research in humanities and social sciences, besides fostering the spirit of curiosity and academic brilliance.
