Establishment of the Institute(1958)

In the early fifties, Community Development Blocks were set up in the country to promote the social and economic development of villages. The Central Institute of Study and Research in Community Development was conceived and set up in 1958 at Mussoorie for offering orientation courses to officers of executive hierarchy in the development programs. The Trainers' Training Institute (subsequently renamed as the Institute for Instruction in Community Development), established in December 1958 at Rajpur, Dehradun was entrusted with the task of training of District Panchayat Officers and sub-divisional officers and trainers of state institutions. In April 1962, both the Institutes were merged into one named as the National Institute of Community Development (NICD). NICD was shifted to the Hyderabad campus during 1964-65. The Institute was changed into a registered society under the Public Services Registration Act No.1 of 1350 Fasli (No.229 of 1965). As per the decision was taken by General Council in its meeting held on 20.9.1977, the Institute was renamed and registered as National Institute of Rural Development (NIRD). Recognizing the need for more focus on strengthening the Panchayati Raj system and capacity building of PRI functionaries through the network of SIRDs and ETCs, the name of NIRD has been changed as National Institute of Rural Development & Panchayati Raj (NIRD&PR) in the year 2014.
