The ICSSR Annual Adhoc Grant for Running and Publishing Research Journals supports Indian associations, organizations, research institutes, universities, and colleges that publish academic journals. This grant aims to strengthen research dissemination by providing financial assistance for journal operations and publication costs. Eligible institutions can use the funds to maintain existing journals or launch new ones, ensuring wider access to scholarly work.

Applications are open to Indian associations, organizations, research institutes, universities, and colleges. There are no restrictions based on study level, marks, or income criteria. The institution must be registered and actively involved in publishing research journals. Priority may be given to journals with a strong academic reputation or those addressing social science disciplines.

Submit an application through the official ICSSR portal before the deadline listed there. Prepare a detailed proposal outlining the journal’s scope, readership, and financial requirements. Include supporting documents such as registration certificates, past issues, and a budget estimate. The application will be reviewed by ICSSR’s expert committee before a decision is made.
