Introduction

National University of Educational Planning and Administration (NUEPA) is an 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, NUEPA is now a Deemed University, fully sponsored by the Government of India. As it
has changed its status and has become an autonomous organization, there has been a 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 to research and professionalization of capacity building efforts. NUEPA is basically a
research University - aiming at supporting human capacity building through research.
The National University of Educational Planning and Administration (NUEPA) is an autonomous
organization that emphasizes planning, management and capacity building in educational policy,
through research, training, consultancy and dissemination. The NUEPA structure is based on nine
academic and one administrative unit. International Organizations like World Bank, UNESCO, COL
etc. also take assistance from NUEPA on several issues.
