The National University has its origin
dating back to 1962 when the UNESCO established the Asian Regional
Centre for Educational Planners and Administrators which later
became the Asian Institute of Educational Planning and
Administration in 1965. After 4 years of its existence, it was taken
over by the Government of India and renamed as the National Staff
College for Educational Planners and Administrators. Subsequently,
with the increased roles and functions of the National Staff
College, particularly in capacity building, research and
professional support services to governments, it was again renamed
as the National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration
(NIEPA) in 1979.
