History

Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre was established on 1984. 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. 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.

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

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. 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.

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.

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