Welcome to the Indian Institute of Education (IIE), Pune.

It is a matter of pride and responsibility to share the journey, ideals, and future
direction of Indian Institute of Education with all our stakeholders. Our journey began on January 1, 1948, in the dawn of India’s independence, when Prof. J.P. Naik established this institute in Mumbai to study educational policy and planning. In 1976, the institute moved to Pune to deepen its focus on rural studies and non-formal education under the leadership of torchbearers like Dr. Chitra Naik, who tirelessly challenged educational orthodoxy. Today, we stand as a premier center for social science research, carrying forward a legacy recognized by UNESCO as equal to the pioneering efforts of Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore. At the heart of our Vision is the belief that education is not merely a profession but a national mission. We are driven by the goals of “Education for All”
