The Indian Council of World Affairs (ICWA) is a New Delhi based Indian think-tank. Established in 1943, it was India’s first independent international affairs think tank.[1] It was founded in 1943 when several members of the Indian Institute of International Affairs (IIIA) decided to form a separate institute.[2] The ICWA affiliated itself with the Indian National Congress, whereas the IIIA supported the British Indian government.[2]

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.[3] ICWA is a member of the United Nations Academic Impact.[4]

ICWA has been called by media as one of India's influential think-tanks, but is seen only as an extension of the Ministry of External Affairs.[5]
