The history of DIPR dates back to 1943, when it was established in [[Dehradun]] as a small experimental board for the selection of Officers. After independence, with the reorganisation of the [[Indian Armed Forces|Armed Forces]], there was a strong need for a dedicated research cell for the selection and follow-up of the officer cadre. Thus, in 1949, the experimental board was re-christened as the '''Psychological Research Wing''' (PRW), with the objective of evolving a scientific system for the selection of officers. With the emergence of new operational challenges in conventional warfare the scope of the institute's charter was further expanded.<ref name="History">{{Cite web |url=http://www.drdo.org/labs/dls/dipr/areas.html |title=DIPR History |access-date=22 November 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070304073232/http://www.drdo.org/labs/dls/dipr/areas.html |archive-date=4 March 2007 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref> | The history of DIPR dates back to 1943, when it was established in [[Dehradun]] as a small experimental board for the selection of Officers.
