Madhav Gore was born on 15 August 1921 at Hubli in the south Indian state of Karnataka to Sadashiv Ramchandra and Venutai and completed his graduation with honors from University of Mumbai in 1942.[citation needed] Joining Tata Institute of Social Sciences, he secured the post-graduate Diploma in Social Service Administration (DSSA) in 1945 during which time he was selected for the Sir Dorabji Tata Research Fellowship.[2] After obtaining a master's degree in sociology from University of Mumbai in 1948, he started his career as a lecturer at the Delhi School of Social Work the same year where he served as the principal from 1953 to 1962.[citation needed] During this period, he continued his doctoral research and secured a doctoral degree (PhD) from Columbia University in 1961; he would later publish his thesis, The Impact of Industrialization and Urbanization on the Aggarwal Family in Delhi Area as a book in 1990, truncating the name as Urbanization and Family Change.[4] In between, he served as a visiting professor at Beloit College of the University of Wisconsin during 1960–61.[2]
