Subgroup III - Humanities and Social Sciences Program
Subgroup III, Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) Program, contains less than one cubic foot of material. Records (1964-1973) are arranged in two series:
- Series I - General Correspondence
- Series II - Socio-Economic Study in Uttar Pradesh.
The activities of the HSS division in India stemmed from the successful work of the Indian Agricultural Program. Chadbourne Gilpatric, RF Representative for HSS, saw the opportunity to strengthen agricultural education by developing a stronger humanities and social sciences
curriculum for the agricultural universities. He also sought support for Indian universities generally. Gilpatric's vision of the role of the HSS division in India is documented in his correspondence (1964-1973) with the New York office, contained in Series I.
Series II includes the project papers for the Socio-Economic Study in Uttar Pradesh, which ran from 1967 to 1972 under the direction of Gilpatric. This was a pilot study of the economic behavior of progressive farmers in four blocks of northwestern Uttar Pradesh. Research files contain correspondence (1967-1972) with New York headquarters and members of the research team, field investigation forms, instructions on interviewing, research findings, and reports. A final report, Problems and Prospects of Small Farmers in Uttar Pradesh in 1969-1970, was issued in 1971.
