It was set up as a direct result of the support and vision of its first President, India’s Prime Minister, Pandit Nehru, who placed a great responsibility on the IIPA to enhance the frontiers of knowledge in public policy and governance through applied research and education as well as training of administrators to serve the people of India. Enhancing leadership and managerial qualities on the one hand and developing a service-orientation on the other are the thrust areas of the Institute’s education and training activities. Its faculty is involved with research work mainly to suggest policy changes to ensure improved delivery of public services. The Institute has been set up to equip the public servants with knowledge, skills, and behaviour required for managing the task of governance. In its effort to enhance the leadership, managerial, and administrative capabilities of the executives in government and public sector enterprises, the Institute works in close collaboration with national and international organisations.
