The G. B. Pant Samajik Vigyan Sansthan (Social Science Institute) was set up at the initiative of the Government of Uttar Pradesh. Pd. Kamalapati Tripathi, the then Chief Minister of UP wrote a letter to Shri S. Nurul Hasan, Education Minister, Government of India, in 1972 ,expressing the desire of the Government of UP to set up an Institute for Social Science Research at Allahabad. The proposal was backed by two subsequent Chief Ministers of the State.

The Government of India subsequently constituted a committee under the Chairmanship of Prof S. Chakravarty, Member, Planning Commission, to work out the details. The Committee recommended in 1975 that a non-recurring grant-in-aid of Rs. 50 lakh be made to the Institute, to be shared equally by the ICSSR and the GoUP, and a recurring grant of Rs. 10 lakh be made to the Institute per year, to be shared equally by the iCSSR and the GoUP.
