Audit and Financial Statements 81 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 5 remain insufficient to cope with the growing internal security threats.
IDSA scholars followed these trends with keen interest. A large number of publications were brought out capturing the emerging challenges and opportunities. In a series of books and monographs, scholars focused on geopolitical developments in East Asia, the Gulf, South Asia, Central Asia, Africa, the Arctic, and the nuclear domain etc. The publications also covered themes such as nuclear terrorism, non-proliferation, militant groups, water, energy, defence procurements and defence industry, coastal security, climate change, nuclear terrorism, warfare, regional institutions, multilateralism, etc.
In a comprehensive global survey of think tanks carried out by Pennsylvania University, IDSA was ranked 10th amongst the Top 45 Think Tanks in China, India, Japan, and the Republic of Korea; 23rd amongst the Best Government Affiliated Think Tanks of the world; 30th amongst the Think Tanks with the Best Use of Media (Print or Electronic) 54th amongst Top 100 Think Tanks Worldwide (Non-US); 102nd amongst the Top 150 Think Tanks – Worldwide (US and Non-US) and 21st amongst the Think Tanks' to Watch out for.
In addition, IDSA's numerous outreach programmes gathered momentum during the year, resulting in a wide range of high-level contacts with foreign diplomats, experts, political leaders and academics. The Institute also contributed significantly in the sphere of training in national security as well as nurturing of young talent.
The year registered a significant all-round increase in IDSA's research and outreach activities. The key trends are captured in the following paragraphs:-
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
6 Centre continued the publication of a bimonthly newsletter on Africa: Africa Trends. The newsletter has aimed to provide readers with reviews and analysis of significant and strategic developments taking place in African countries that impact regional and global security. The Centre also produced the Indian Ocean Watch, a monthly newsletter that tracked recent developments in the fields of maritime security, economic cooperation and environmental concerns/ disaster risk management in the various countries of the Indian Ocean region. Further, Shri Shashank, Former Foreign Secretary, Government of India, released the book, India and Africa: Enhancing Mutual Engagement, edited by Ms. Ruchita Beri.
The Centre also hosted several activities during this period, including a roundtable on the Sixth IBSA Summit, a talk by Mr Charles Sabga, ICRC Regional Legal Adviser for South Asia and Iran on the theme “International Humanitarian Law and Contemporary Armed Conflict”, another roundtable on “UN Peacekeeping: Experiences of India and Brazil,” the Second India-Africa Strategic Dialogue on the theme “Common Security Challenges for the Next Decade: Perspectives from India and Africa”, as part of the India-Africa Forum Summit II (IAFS) project commitments; a conference on the theme, “UNSC Reform: Perspectives and Prospects” in collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs and an interaction with a delegation of Young Parliamentarians from Africa.
Defence Economics and Industry Centre
The Defence Economics and Industry Centre was created in 2006 to promote research in the area which was hitherto unexplored. Within a short span of nearly eight years, the Centre, through outreach activities and objective research, has been at the forefront of the national debate on issues related to defence spending, arms procurement procedure, offset policy and defence industry. Several suggestions emanating from the Centre have found acceptance by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
The Centre plays a vital role in organising meetings of the MoD-Industry Forum, set up in 2013 to facilitate direct interaction between the senior officials of the MoD and industry. Six meetings were held in the year on a wide range of issues including defence innovation, exchange rate variation, Medium Small and Micro Enterprises (MSME), naval shipbuilding, defence exports, defence industrial licensing and Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) in defence.
During the year, several research papers were published, including a Monograph on
7 Indian Defence Industry: Issues of Self-Reliance and an Occasional Paper on Defence Innovation in India: The Fault Lines.
East Asia Centre
The East Asia Centre at IDSA is engaged in research to assess the emerging role of China, Japan and South Korea in Asia and world politics, with special focus on China. It publishes the China Yearbook and also a bimonthly newsletter titled East Asia Monitor. A number of research projects are being pursued currently, covering China's foreign policy and multilateral strategy; China's military and nuclear policy; India-China relations; and India-Taiwan relations. Experts and scholars at the Centre have published high-quality international peer-reviewed research papers, and have travelled to participate in international fora, seminars, conferences and symposiums representing IDSA. Some scholars also availed various fellowships. Research findings of the Centre suggest that India should give greater importance to Japan and South Korea. Research indicates that economic engagement with China is important, yet India must be vigilant about China's growing assertiveness in East Asia and South East Asia. To enhance its research and outreach activities in East Asia, the Centre is significantly engaged in bilateral Track-II dialogue mechanisms with think-tanks and institutes in China, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Mongolia. The Centre has also established a Trilateral Dialogue mechanism with Japanese and South Korean institutes. The Centre has briefed the government from time to time on developments in East Asia.
Europe and Eurasia Centre
The Europe and Eurasia Centre continued to focus on issues, themes and countries in the Eurasian geographical area. Some areas of focus have been – shifts in India's foreign policy and strategic articulation; prospects of India-China relationship; China's relations with countries and regional organizations in Eurasia; Russia's foreign policy with emphasis on developments in Ukraine; South Asia (India, Pakistan and Afghanistan) and Central Asia; Central Asia in the foreign policies of the three major powers –India, Russia and China; internal developments in Russia and in Central Asian countries and multilateral frameworks like the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) and Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO).
Other important trends under watch were: China's economic and military cooperation with Russia; Russia's military modernization; and developments in the Arctic. The scholars at the Europe and Eurasia Centre analysed these issues in their Op- Ed and Web Commentaries, Issue Briefs and Reports wherein they studied the 8 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.
Internal Security Centre
During the financial year 2013-2014, the Internal Security Centre worked on a variety of policy-oriented research themes and actively organized several events including two National Seminars. The Centre's research efforts were focussed on insurgencies in the Northeast; Left-Wing Extremism; management of India's borders; coastal security; and growing radicalisation and terrorism. Members of the Centre published monographs and articles in 2013-14 on topics like 'India's Internal Security Situation: Present Realties and Future Pathways';'Coastal Security: The Indian Experience', 'Issues in Management of India-Pakistan International Border', etc. A book titled 'Militant Groups in South Asia' which provides a detailed profile of various terrorist and militant groups in the region was also published. Members of the Centre also delivered lectures in during training programmes for the military and paramilitary forces, both within IDSA and outside.
The Centre has also been actively engaged with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) for the past three years. During the year 2013-14, the MHA had entrusted a number of projects including Peace Negotiations in the Northeast, Maoist Linkages in the Northeast, Implications of Madrassa Education in Jammu & Kashmir, Social Media's Impact on Internal Security and Law and Order. Some of these studies were completed while others are ongoing. The Centre undertook extensive field studies and made key recommendations on these topics. The project on Peace Negotiations in the 9 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.
Military Affairs Centre
The Military Affairs Centre dealt with subjects like military strategy; higher defence management; defence reforms; civil-military relations and military change during the 10 year.

During the financial year 2013-2014, IDSA was paid Grant-In-Aid (in lump-sum) under the object head “Grant-In-Aid General” amounting to Rs1206 Lakhs. Out of this, Rs37.03 Lakhs has been utilized for acquisition of Fixed Assets and the balance Rs1168.97 Lakhs was recognized as Income. During the year 2013-2014, IDSA has projected the revised estimates amounting to Rs1267.00 Lakhs after giving effect of
20 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).

Journals Strategic Analysis 2013 -14
In 2013-14, Strategic Analysis continued its journey as the country's foremost academic journal on strategic studies, area studies and international relations. The journal attracted some of the best known international academics, and analysts into its fold from across the subject spectrum. The journal's contributions are now read, refereed and contributed to, internationally, a trend that began most definitively in 2012-13. This trend is being carried forward in the period under review. This has given strength to the journal as a standalone among its peers in the market. The publishing and marketing collaboration with Routledge is continuing with increasingly positive feedback being received from international publishing circles.
The issues and themes that have been covered and continue to occupy the attention of scholars, include India-Sri Lanka relations in the post–LTTE period; India's growing energy woes; the transition in Myanmar and its implications for the region; the economic and social changes faced by China and the security challenges therein; the changing nature of the Air Power discourse; the IBSA completing ten years and its implications and fallout; the emergence of the Arctic as the 'new front' in the non-traditional security discourse; the possibilities of a trilateral cooperative arrangement between India, China and Nepal; Peacekeeping; ASEAN; Digital Diplomacy and Foreign Policy and the role of cultural diplomacy in regional development, among others.

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.

57 The IDSA Internship Programme launched three years ago has been successful in attracting young talent to IDSA. This programme attracted over 25 Interns from multi- disciplinary 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.
