Background

In the eighties, the BTESSC and the Senate of Serampore College (University) saw the urgency to establish initially one advanced research centre in the country to:

* coordinate, and
* facilitateresearch at doctoral and non-degree levels emphasizing its indigenous and contextual character ["The Story of Serampore and its College" [http://www.mergingcurrents.com/book.php?BookSKU=133] "pp.116-117] . Intense planning and negotiation led to the establishment of SATHRI in 1989 in Bangalore as as the research wing of the BTESSC to deal with the promotion of contextualized research, both at the degree and the non-degree levels ["Ibid."] .

It was meant to strengthen centres for research and to promote basic tools for theological education, to involve in publication of research work and to arrange for programmes that would strengthen the relationship between the theological institutions for the purpose of research ["Ibid."] .
