The Nepal Administrative Staff College- Its Challenging Origin and Future Demands

Abstract

The Nepal Administrative Staff College was founded in order to raise the development capacity of the national administrative workforce. The journey to its founding was a sacred journey but, like all such journeys, it was not an untrammelled one. Mr GBN Pradhan became its first Executive Director. He gives here an account of the problems he encountered. The College now seems to be well set on its course but, in his opinion, it still needs to tackle some serious problems. He concludes by suggesting certain measures that will enhance the operational efficiency of the College and enable it to better serve its clients.
