National University of Educational Planning and Administration(NUEPA), New Delhi The National University of Educational Planning and Administration (NUEPA),New Delhi emerged into the country’s educational scene in 1960-61. It was mainly due to an effort by UNESCO to set up a regional center for educational planning and administration not only in India but in the whole of South Asia. It was in 1970 that the authority of NUEPA changed hands and came under the Ministry of Human Resources and Development, Government of India with its new name as the National Staff College. The University acquired its present name in 1979 and became an autonomous body. As a mark of recognition to its outstanding contribution in the field of planning, management and capacity building, the Human Resource Ministry of India conferred the Deemed University status on NUEPA in August 2006.
