Even while social science research is becoming increasingly important in India, its standards and caliber are still deteriorating. Academic research and higher education have structural flaws that place more emphasis on quantity than quality of research. India is a metaphor for the disorganized and random organisation of social science research. The goal of the current study is to describe how social science research is doing in India. The social science doctoral research work conducted in India between 2017 and 2018 will be examined using data from a number of publications of the ICSSR committee review and the UGC annual report. The report also attempted to identify certain social science problems and obstacles that India faced both before and after independence. The main funding sources and the role of the government in advancing social science research are carefully explored. The practitioners have been advised to consider suggestions and policy implications to encourage the amazing growth of social sciences in India.
