HISTORY OF THE INSTITUTE
The Sushma Swaraj Institute of Foreign Service (SSIFS) was established in 1986 by the government of India primarily to cater to the professional training needs of the Indian Foreign Service and the Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi. SSIFS has diversified its activities to include courses for foreign diplomats in its efforts at building bridges of friendship and cooperation with countries around the world and courses of interest to staff and officers at all levels of the ministry of external affairs as well as other civil Services. In 2007, SSIFS is moved to its present location at Baba Gangnath Marg, Old JNU Campus, New Delhi.
