Annual Report 2003-2004 (NIEPA)

Abstract

From An Overview: National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration is the apex Indian institution in educational planning and administration. Beginning as the UNESCO Regional Centre for Training of Educational Planners, Administrators and Supervisors in Asia and the Pacific in 1961-62, NIEPA is now a registered society, fully sponsored by the Government of India. As it changed its status and became an autonomous organization, there has been paradigm shift in its philosophy, inner functioning and development. It has shifted its focus from being primarily a delivery institution to a resource institution. Earlier, emphasis was on staff training; it has now shifted on research and professionalization of capacity building efforts. NIEPA is basically a research organization. The human capacity building is supported by research.
