Introduction
During the year, the world and India changed in several ways. The assertiveness of
China was palpable in East Asia wherein China-Japan relations deteriorated and
tensions rose dramatically in the East China Sea and the South China Sea. The US policy
of rebalancing and pivot to Asia continued to create strategic uncertainties with the
attention of analysts focused on the trajectories of US-China relations and US relations
with its allies. Tensions between Russia and the West escalated over Ukraine. Territorial
adjustments took place in the heart of Europe as Crimea announced that it has detached
itself from Ukraine and merged with Russia. The Middle East remained in the grip of
extreme uncertainty with a raging civil war in Syria, growing sectarianism and the rapid
rise of Al-Qaeda and Al-Qaeda like groups in West Asia and North Africa. Terrorism
spread its tentacles in Africa also. One silver lining was the beginning of talks between
Iran and P5+1 on the nuclear issue. Terrorism and maritime security dominated the
international security agenda. The still underdeveloped idea of Indo-Pacific attracted the
attention of analysts. India's neighbourhood continued to witness instability with
increasingly radicalization in Pakistan and deteriorating political divisions in
Bangladesh. Elections were held in Nepal and the key test of Constitution formulation
remained unfulfilled. With ISAF forces planning to leave the country, Afghanistan was
faced with numerous political security related uncertainties.
India continued to draw the attention of the world, as the geopolitical pivot moved
towards Asia. India's diplomacy remained in high gear with numerous high-level
summits, multilateral meetings and bilateral visits taking place throughout the year.
India faced a major crisis in its foreign relations when Sino-Indian relations went
through a tense phase over Chinese incursions in Northern Ladakh in the Depsang area.
India's economic slowdown also raised questions about the regional and global
influence of India as an emerging power, though its regional and global profile remained
noticeable.
India's security environment faced numerous challenges primarily arising out of
increasing radicalization in the neighbourhood and terrorism. Domestic factors
remained critical to some aspects of India's foreign policy. There were some hiccups in
India's defence modernization as the Indian economy faced a resource crunch and the
Indian establishment found it difficult to overcome delays in procurement. The progress
in indigenization of defence production and defence R&D was also slow. The country
continued to face numerous challenges on the internal security front as well. The naxal
challenge remained prominent. The internal security structures in India continued to

CENTRES
IDSA's activity is focused around 13 Centres. A brief account of the main activities
of the Centres is given below:Africa, Latin America, Caribbean & UN (ALACUN) Centre
During the past year, the ALACUN Centre continued to monitor and analyse
developments on the African continent, the Indian Ocean Region, India-Latin America
relations, and relevant United Nations activities that impact the areas under study. The
implications for India. These issues were also discussed at various seminars and
conferences, roundtables, media interactions and lectures organized at the national and
international level. Amb P Stobdan's book titled 'Central Asia: Democracy, Instability
and Strategic Game in Kyrgyzstan' was released in January 2014.
The Centre organized a roundtable interaction with the Shanghai Cooperation
Organisation (SCO) Secretary General, H.E. Mr. Dmitry Fedorovich Mezentsev, at
IDSA on February 24, 2014. There was also an interaction with Russian scholars from
the Institute of Far Eastern Studies, Moscow, on the subject 'Russia-India-China and
Japan: Convergences and Divergences: Implications for the Future' on February 28,
2014 along with a talk by Dr Tatiana Shaumyan, Head of the Centre for Indian Studies,
Institute of Oriental Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, on the theme
'Russia, India and Afghanistan, on November 20, 2013. These interactions provided a
platform for experts to analyse the current dynamics in the Eurasian region, the changing
international strategic environment and its implications for India.
North East concluded that activating a pre-negotiation phase, dealing with ethnic
security dilemmas by strengthening law enforcement and utilizing back-channel
negotiations, can prove to be useful techniques of conflict resolution. These projects
received much appreciation from the MHA and subsequently, the Ministry has assigned
new projects to the Centre. Further, a joint project on Coastal Security was concluded
with the National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS). The key recommendation for
this project was that the Coast Guard should be given full responsibility for Coastal
Security.
The Internal Security Centre also organized two National Seminars. The first was
held in Guwahati on July 15-16, 2013 on the theme Strategic and Developmental
Imperatives in North East India. It was organized in collaboration with the Special
Branch of the Assam Police. It focussed on issues such as development and security of
border areas in the region; economic growth of the region through promotion of tourism;
investments in mega projects; implementation of Look East Policy (LEP) and emphasis
on the role of North East in it. The second seminar was conducted on October 9, 2013,
which deliberated upon important internal security structural issues faced by the country
and the existing response mechanism.
The Centre also organized several roundtable discussions and lectures by eminent
persons on a wide array of topics pertaining to Internal Security. The first roundtable on
Northeast's Role in India's Look East Policy (LEP), organised in September 2013. It was
aimed at inviting specific projects from the North-eastern states that could be
implemented in the region under the aegis of the ASEAN-India Vision Document 2020
as well as India's Look East Policy. The second roundtable on India's Neighbouring
Borderlands: an Anthropological Approach explored the scope of ethnicities, histories,
and nationalities of neighbouring border areas to understand them better and keeping in
mind India's national security interests. On August 26, 2013, Shri Rajeev Bhattacharya
shared his insights and experiences about a number of North East insurgent groups
whom he had interacted with during his travel deep inside the jungles of Myanmar. Lt
Gen S. A. Hasnain's lecture titled Kashmir 2014: A Review and Prognosis provided a
strategic view of the Kashmir situation through the 1990s and 2000-2013, followed by a
prognosis for the period 2014-18.
year. As part of its outreach, training was organised for officers from the defence
services. Interaction was facilitated both in the form of formal talks by Service Chiefs,
senior retired and serving officers as well as by holding roundtable discussions. A
number of interactions were also held with visiting delegations from foreign countries.
High profile visits included those by the Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral D.K. Joshi, Chief
of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal N.A.K. Browne and the National Security Adviser of
Iraq, Mr Fali Al Fayyadh. A number of seminars and workshops were held to improve
understanding of concepts related to the military.
The endeavour to better understand the work of Kautilya was taken forward during
the year. This culminated in a national seminar on Kautilya's Arthashastra. The Centre
organised a roundtable discussion on how the Army has adapted to change in Counter
Insurgency (CI) operations. This was a follow up to an international project on Military
Change. Discussion on the same subject was also held in Norway, as part of IDSA's
partnership with the Norwegian Institute of Defence Studies. The Institute also hosted a
conference on International Order at Sea. Similar interactions were organised with
international think tanks and research institutes during the year.
The Journal of Defence Studies brought out a special issue on the India-China War
1962 to commemorate fifty years of its occurrence, besides both thematic and generic
defence-related issues during the year. The Defence and Security Database has
improved substantially and has become a rich source of research reference material for
scholars of IDSA.

AsiArctic project with the Norwegian Research Council, headed by the Fridtjof
Nansen Institute (FNI), and the Norwegian Institute for Defence Studies (IFS). The
main goal of the project is to contribute to new and relevant knowledge on the Arctic
interests and approaches of India, through integrated research. The first workshop was
held in September 2013 at IDSA and the papers presented are being published in a
special issue of IDSA's bimonthly refereed Journal Strategic Analysis.
Resolution 1540; nuclear energy and proliferation; role of the IAEA; nuclear security;
Pakistan's tactical nuclear weapons; nuclear terrorism, etc. The Centre's critical review
of the NTI Index on nuclear security attracted world-wide attention. The Centre had
close interactions with leading academics, experts and institutions from across the
world. Scholars regularly participated in international seminars and conferences. The
Centre brought out a book titled India and the Nuclear Non-proliferation Regime The
Perennial Outlier, which was published by the Cambridge University Press. Two
monographs were also published dealing with nuclear terrorism and Iran's nuclear
programme, respectively. The Centre organized an international conference on UNSCR

WELFARE
In continuation of our welfare efforts, it was felt that a qualified doctor should visit
the IDSA periodically to whom minor cases of ailments can be referred so that the
scholars and staff do not have to rush to doctors at faraway places in case of need.
Services of a doctor have been engaged who provides medical aid and visits the Institute
thrice a week for one hour each and attends to the scholars and staff as well as their
dependent families and also domestic helps staying within the campus. A Group Health
Insurance Scheme from the National Insurance Co. Ltd for scholars and staff as well as
their families has also been started. A free eye screening programme was organised
during the year.
The brief account of the activities of the IDSA during 2013-14 indicates that the
Institute has continued to build on the efforts put in during the previous years.
Consequently, IDSA scholars and experts have published high quality products in
adequate numbers, outreach has expanded, interaction with officials as well as the larger
strategic community has improved, the scope and depth of research has increased and
IDSA's international ranking among think tanks has gone up. Yet, the Institute will have
to continue with its efforts to emerge as a world class institution. Efforts in the coming
future would focus on enhancing the resources and bringing in top ranking experts and
scholars to the Institute in sufficient numbers.
mandatory cut of 10% on non-salary expenditure but with a further effective cut of Rs 61
Lakhs which was the actual expenditure towards Pay and Allowances, pension and
retirement benefits paid up to February 2014, was also affected since the expenditure due
to increase in DA and increment was not accounted for. MoD was requested to sanction
the said amount of Rs 61 Lakhs out of the savings at re-appropriation stage. In response,
MoD has conveyed that any augmentation under the object head Grant-In-Aid General
required the prior approval of Parliament and thus the Ministry was not in a position to
sanction the same. Since the expenditure had already been incurred under the head Pay
& Allowances (including pension and the retirement benefits), there was no option but to
meet the said expenditure out of IDSA's generated receipts like membership subscription,
sale of publication, interest earned on the deposits with the Bank etc.
Further, out of amount received from MoD towards Grant-In-Aid (Rs. 1206 Lakhs),
66 per cent was utilized on salary and pension; 21 per cent on operational and
administrative expenses and 13 per cent on research related activities (excluding salary of
scholars).

IDSA LIBRARY
The IDSA Library continued to be the primary source of information with a rich
collection of 57,613 books and a number of CD-ROM databases. During 2013-2014,
537 new books were added to the library collection. In addition, about 300 current
journals are received in print and electronic/online versions and 27 newspapers are
subscribed to. The Library also has a number of reports, databases and bound volumes of
17,000 old journals.
The Library activities, viz., acquisition, cataloguing, circulation and inventory
control have been computerized. The Library holdings database, i.e., the online
catalogue, can be accessed through the internal LAN. The Library's Online Public
Access Catalogue has also been uploaded on the internet and can be accessed by anyone.
IDSA scholars can reserve as well as indent books from their desks.
The Library's resources are extensively used by the Institute's scholars, members of
the Institute, and other external users. The Information Services Group (ISG) continues
to provide Internet-based information services to IDSA scholars and also to IDSA
members and officials in the government. About 1312 information service requests were
attended to during the year.
The list of New Arrivals is being made available on IDSA's website regularly and
also being mailed to individual scholars.

Annexure VII
WEBSITE
IDSA has kept pace with increasing digitalization over the years and all IDSA
publications are posted on the Institute's website. Visitors are given Open Access to
most of the publications. Open Access to publications creates healthier scholarship
and communication. It also helps in sharing author's ideas worldwide and preserves the
publications in digital form leading to greater shelf life.
During the year, 32,552 Books, 25,620 Monographs and 10,951 Occasional Papers were
downloaded from the IDSA website.
The number of hits on the Website has been steadily increasing as can be seen from the

ORIENTATION PROGRAMMES
IDSA continued with its short-duration workshops/training programmes for civilian and
military officials of the Government of India, in which the Institute's scholars as well as
select outside experts delivered lectures on a range of issues related to national, regional
and international security. The following seven Workshops/Training Programmes were
held during the year:

Annexure IX
VISITING FELLOWSHIP AND INTERNSHIP PROGRAMMES
Started in 2007, the Visiting Fellowship Programme has been successful in attracting
some of the best talents from across the world including some eminent scholars. The
programme during the year, hosted 13 Visiting Fellows from across the world, including
03 fromthe South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries
under the Asia-Africa Visiting Fellowship. In some instances, the Visiting Fellows also
helped in capacity building efforts towards quality research within IDSA by conducting
seminars on research methods and recent trends in the strategic studies scholarship. It is
only reasonable to assume that the increasing number of successful alumni will enhance
the Institute's visibility around the world, add value to work in the coming years, besides
acting as its brand ambassadors in their home institutions.

The IDSA Internship Programme launched three years ago has been successful in
attracting young talent to IDSA. This programme attracted over 25 Interns from multidisciplinary backgrounds from both Indian and foreign universities during this financial
year. These Interns have made useful contributions to the success of IDSA's projects. It
is hoped that their time at IDSA will help them better appreciate India's foreign and
security policies. We expect these talented scholars to be future leaders in the domain of
strategic affairs who will also contribute to the work of the Institute in times to come.
