The Himachal Pradesh University established in 1970, today holds the torch of illumination giving shape to ideas and fostering innovation. Living up to the promises of the founding fathers, Himachal Pradesh University strives to realize our vision “to create a human universe that offers inclusiveness, equity, fellowship, justice and peace for one and all”. Himachal Pradesh University through the Departments and Specialised Centres continue to serve the nation through quality teaching and research through the production of competent, skilled and sensitive human resource that would catalyze enrichment of physical and human environment.

I believe that Department of Public Administration is providing a holistic education to the future generation and playing a positive role in nation building. Department through its vibrant faculty reiterate its endeavour to provide premium quality education and an environment for the growth of over-all personality development leading to generating “Global Professionals”. One of the faculty of Department Prof. Sanjeev. K. Mahajan has been bestowed as “Best Teacher Award” in 2021 for his research work by Himachal Pradesh University.

The Department has distinction of producing some of the best professionals, statesmen and officers rendering useful service to the nation. Many of the former students and research scholars of the department have held positions of eminence as administrators, teachers in colleges and universities, bureaucrats and successful leaders.

I am confident that Department of Public Administration will continue to strive for excellence in teaching, research and extension activities and will reach the greater heights in the days to come and will attract more students from other parts of the World.
