The Endowment Unit was established in 1998. On evaluation of the activities of the Unit, the Planning Commission recognised the Unit as the one working on issues relating to technology and innovation in the Indian context. Presently the Chair Professor of the Unit is Professor Praveena Kodoth.
Several publications in the form of journal article, two papers in the centre’s Commentary on India’s Economy and Society Series along with one Working paper of the CDS were brought out. In addition to this, several workshops, public lectures, panel discussions and new projects are being organised every year. The unit also contributed to the teaching and supervision at all the three academic programmes at the Centre.
