Indian Council of World Affairs

The Indian Council of World Affairs (ICWA) is a New Delhi based Indian think-tank. Established in 1943, it is devoted exclusively for the study of international relations and foreign affairs. By an Act of Parliament, it has been declared an institution of national importance in 2001. The Vice President of India is the ex-officio President of ICWA, while the Minister of External Affairs is its Vice-President. It is housed in Sapru House, the name being derived from Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru, who was also the founder President of the Council. ICWA is a member of the United Nations Academic Impact.

ICWA has been called by media as one of India's most influential think-tanks, but is seen only as an extension of the Ministry of External Affairs.
