History edit

The academy was established in 1988 as the Academy of Third World Studies through the vision of then Prime Minister of India, Rajiv Gandhi.[5] The establishment of academy came at a time when the concept of the Third World, particularly with regard to decolonization and democratization was very strong in the '70s and 80's. In 1993, the Academy became a permanent center of the university.[6]
