The Centre for Social Justice and Equity (CSJE) at the Madras School of Social Work is a new addition to the wide spectrum of innovative centres created in the institute recently. The CSJE has been established under the financial grant-in-aid of the Adi dravidar and Tribal Welfare Department of Government of Tamil Nadu by its G.O No. (MS).No. 87 Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare (PA2) Department dated 12.07.2023. The Honourable Minister N. Kayalvizhi, Adi Dravidar and Tribal welfare inaugurated the Centre on 16th August 2023.

At the CSJE, our mission is to make social justice as the crux of public policy engagements in Tamil Nadu. We’ve discerned that the key to unlocking game-changing policy interventions is to bring forth and echo the voices of deprived and discriminated. Because it’s there that we not only uncover some of India’s biggest problems, but also find the best solutions.
