May 20 2025 : Rise of a Premier Civil Service Training Institute (1960–2025)

About the Book

Pakistan Administrative Staff College: Rise of a Premier Civil Service Training Institute (1960–2025)”. All praise and gratitude are due to the Almighty Allah, who graciously endowed me with the fortitude to undertake a task of considerable significance and honour — that of authoring a trilogy of publications for the esteemed National Institute of Public Policy. These include Pakistan Administrative Staff College: Rise of a Premier Civil Services Training Institution (1960–2025), following my earlier works, Sadequain – An Ode to the Artist and National Management Course: A Journey Together- all these publications completed within 15 months. I am profoundly indebted to the honourable Rector, Dr Ijaz Munir Sahib, whose enlightened and visionary stewardship afforded me the rare privilege of contributing intellectually to this noble enterprise — the chronicling of the rich legacy, institutional memory, and oft-unspoken narrative of this venerable institution. The experience of penning these volumes has granted me a deeper appreciation of the majesty and gravitas of this distinguished establishment. It has, in turn, inspired within me a renewed sense of duty — to become a more effective and purposeful instrument within the great machinery of the bureaucracy, working steadfastly to propel our beloved Pakistan toward a future marked by sustainable progress and enduring prosperity.
