Centre for Community Knowledge

The Centre for Community Knowledge (CCK) has been planned as a premier institutional platform in India in interdisciplinary areas of Social Sciences, to link academic research and teaching with dispersed work on Community Knowledge.

At a time when development is faced with multiple challenges, the Centre for Community Knowledge aims to document, study and disseminate the praxis of community knowledge, so as to improve our understandings of our living heritage, and integrate community-based knowledge in the available alternatives. Drawn from living experience, and mostly unwritten, oral and practice based, community knowledge can play a crucial role in these transformative times in a number of areas, including the empowerment of marginal communities, adapting to environmental impacts and changes in public policy.
