Institute of Tribal Studies and Research

Institute of Tribal Studies and Research (ITSR), situated at Chethalayam, Wayanad, is a unique venture of University of Calicut. ITSR has a lush green campus spread over 10 acres. The institute is devoted to serve the specific aspirations of the tribal community of the state of Kerala, intended to be innovative and responsive to the educational needs of the tribal communities and individuals. The ITSR is aimed at ensuring the learning opportunities and experiences which promote leadership, development, professional preparation, civic responsibility, and cultural stewardship among the tribal groups. The mission of the Institute of Tribal Studies and Research (ITSR) set up in Wayanad district of the state of Kerala is to attain excellence in academic quality, scholarly engagement, leadership, cultural enrichment and service of the tribal population of Kerala. The Institute also aims to act as a worthy research center exploring the rich history of the region, the legacy of the tribes in various fields of human endeavor, their indigenous knowledge systems and specific art forms and culture.

 

CIVIL SERVICE ACADEMY

ITSR started Civil Service Academy in 2018 to provide its students opportunity for career development in Civil Service. It is funded by ITDP (Integrated Tribal Development Project), Wayanad. Indian Civil Service is considered as the premium service under Govt. of India and heads all the departments under it. 

Historically, lower castes and outcastes in India are systematically excluded from administration. This legacy of administration continued even after the independence thanks to their social and educational backwardness. It is the vision of Dr. B R Ambedkar that depressed classes would be really empowered when they have their own share in the national administration. Challenges in this respect are the lesser opportunity for quality education and financial burden one has to carry for this. Being an educational institution exclusively for Tribes, ITSR has a significant role to play in this regard.

            ITSR provides Civil Service Coaching to interested students of the institution. Total number of seats restricted to 50 per batch. Selected graduated Tribal candidates other than the students of ITSR are also given admission if the seats are vacant. Admission to the academy is done through entrance examination. It initially started as a foundation batch focussing Preliminary examination. It provides 50 classes per batch. One class have 4 teaching hours plus discussion. Classes are given by faculties selected on the basis of their qualification and experience in the concerned field. First batch started in June 2018 and finished in May 2019. Total 13 students from the academy attended Civil Service Preliminary Examination 2019. 

            For the second batch, ITSR Civil Service Academy restructured its training programme based on the feedbacks from various stakeholders. Now, it has two courses- foundation course for students who has not completed Degree and Prelim Cum Mains course for students who finished their Degree. Foundation course has 50 seats and it will concentrate on building solid base of the syllabus with preliminary on focus. It will provide 40 classes per batch and one class has 4 teaching hours plus discussion. Prelim cum Mains course has 25 seats and it will provide advanced training to the students with Main exam on focus. It will provide 50 classes per batch and one class has 4 teaching hours plus discussion. The second batch (2019-20) of Civil Service Academy started on August 2019. Now we have 25 students from both the batches.

AIMS 

Institute aims to develop ITSR Civil Service Academy as a one stop solution to this. The institute vision to develop this academy from a weekend batches to regular batches. In order to realise this dream a study circle named ITSR Civil Service Study Circle has been created with previous and on-going students as the members. They are making study schedules and conducting group studies with the help and support of ITSR faculties. ITSR has also set up a Civil Service library and study corners.  Besides, Institute also aims to develop this academy as a specialised centre for Sociology (Civil Service Mains Optional) since ITSR currently offers Degree and PG in Sociology.
