'''Indian Social Institute, Bangalore,''' has been an extension service of the [[Jesuits]] in [[Pune]], [[New Delhi]], [[India]], since the 1950s, working for social change in the interests of poor and underserved peoples. In 1993 it became an independent [[NGO]] and took its current name.<br />
<br />
== Historical background ==<br />
In 1951, [[Jerome D'Souza]], an educator and member of the [[Indian Constituent Assembly]], founded the Indian Institute of Social Order in [[Pune]], India, to contribute to the emergence of a new social order in post-independence India. Regional training centres were established in various parts of the country, including [[Bangalore]]. In 1963 the Institute in Pune moved to [[New Delhi]] and in 1967 became [[Indian Social Institute]].<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
Since the 1980s the Documentation Centre of [[Indian Social Institute]] functioned out of Bangalore furnishing documentation for activists throughout India. By 1993 the need was realized to make the Indian Social Institute in Bangalore a separate [[NGO]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://isibangalore.com/history|title=Historical survey|last=|first=|date=|website=www.isibangalore.com|publisher=|access-date=2017-01-18}}</ref><br />
