About ADRI

ADRI Society was first conceived during the late eighties, when the institution of state has started getting weaker and at least concomitantly, if not consequently, the growth process was becoming increasingly non-inclusive. Some articles had appeared during those years which were close to an obituary for development economics, as the trend was fairly worldwide and not limited to India alone. Along with the weakening of the state, there was the obvious trend of weakening of many state-supported educational institutions, including the universities and the research institutes. At this point, the members of the ADRI Society strongly felt that, for the development research to remain alive, it needs to modify its agenda and, secondly, it also equally needs an alternative institutional base. The Research Institute was a response to this challenge.
