Brief History of Department :

The seminal decision for the creation of an independent Department of Public Administration took final shape in 1963, emerging from the folds of its mother discipline Political Science. A pioneering institution in the country, it provides teaching, training and research in Public Administration. The Department has been running, since its inception, a Masters Programme and a Diploma in Public Administration. Keeping pace with the demand of time, the Department has launched three self-financing PG Diplomas - in Public Relations; in Human Resource Development; and in Hospital & Health Care Administration. The Department also runs a self-financing Bachelor in Public Administration. Total enrolment is more than 700 students. Those passing out these courses have found placement in both public and private sectors. Defense personnel have lately formed special students section in the courses run by the Department.
