Administrative Staff College of India
The Administrative Staff College of India [ASCI] is the college for
practicing managers. Since it established in 1956, as a result of
the enterprising collaborative initiative of the corporate world
and the government, the Administrative Staff College of India
(ASCI- as it is popularly branded by the participants who have
passed through its portals), has been at the forefront of executive
development in the country. ASCI prides itself on being the first
and foremost institution for practicing managers. ASCI has
synthesized managerial theory and practice to equip corporate
managers, administrators, entrepreneurs and academicians to
effectively respond to the ever-increasing complexity of
managerial issues confronting government, industrial enterprises
and non-government organizations, rather than end up as victims
of outcomes.
Modelled originally on the world-renowned management
institute at Henley in the United Kingdom, ASCI is the only
institution in India that covers its annual operating expenditure
solely from its training, consultancy and research activities
without any grants or assistance from either the Central or State
Governments in India or national and international organization.
It runs the management development programme, postgraduate
diploma in hospital management and various in house programs
covering a wide range of public policy areas. The Centre for
Management Studies includes the procurement operations,
materials and project management and information systems
area. This area provides specialized training in procurement,
disbursement and financial management procedures for The
World Bank aided projects, procurement reform and capacity
building, project impact evaluation and reengineering and
enterprise management. For more information refer to
