History

Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre was established on 1984.[3] The Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre was established by merging the Bangladesh Administrative Staff College, National Institute of Public Administration, Civil Officers' Training Academy, and the Staff Training Institute.[4] Foundation stone of the centre was laid in December 1981 and the centre began functioning from 28 April 1984, as an autonomous body with a Rector as its Head who is a senior Secretary to the Government.[3]

The Centre has four division units based in Chittagong Division, Dhaka Division, Rajshahi Division, and Khulna Division.[3]

In February 2009, Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre organized a seminar on 'Improving public services through total quality management' with support from Japan International Cooperation Agency.[5] At the silver jubilee celebration of the Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina reminded the bureaucrats that they were servants of the public and not masters.[6][7]

In 2010, Bangladesh Supreme Court announced plans to train judges of lower courts in the Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre and the Bangladesh Military Academy.[8]

In September 2020, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated a 20 story building of Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre in Savar.[9]

Administration

The rector (normally the rank of a Senior Secretary) is the head of the training institution, assisted by the MDS (rank of Senior Joint Secretary/Additional Secretary).[3] The rector also chairs the governing body of the BPATC School and College, a secondary school located within the precincts of BPATC.[10]

The board of governors of Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre is under the direction of a Cabinet Minister.[3]
