Maxwell provides executive training for India's IAS senior officers
The Maxwell School of
Citizenship & Public Affairs of Syracuse University has been awarded a
multi-year contract by the Government of India to develop and deliver executive
training for senior Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers. The IAS is
India’s premier civil service whose members occupy top positions in the State
and Federal Governments of India. IAS officers participating in this program
have approximately 15 years of experience and are serving in senior positions
across India. The executive training program focuses on building the officers’
understanding of the latest developments in public policy, administration, and
governance, while also developing the officers’ capacity for formulating policy
and managing large government systems.
The Maxwell School is
partnering with the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration
(LBSNAA), India’s premier institution dedicated to training officers of the
country’s higher civil services with a mission to promote good governance.
Approximately 80 senior officers, representing every state in India, are
participating in 2017. The partnership with the Maxwell School, secured through
a highly competitive international bidding process, represents a unique
connection with the Government of India and a foreign institute of higher
education.
The Maxwell School’s
unique connection with India has existed for over half a century. Thousands of
Government of India officials have sought to further their education and skills
at the Maxwell School, including through its many professional degree programs,
certificate programs and customized executive education programs. The
Maxwell-India partnership began in the 1950s with Dean Paul Appleby working
with Prime Minister Nehru and Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. In addition to
its curricular offerings, Maxwell maintains deep ties to the region through its
many research Centers and Institutes and faculty scholarship at the Maxwell
School.
