  • NIAR was subsequently rechristened and subsumed into NCGG.
• It is mandated to work in areas of public policy, governance, reforms, and capacity building of civil servants of the country as well as those of other developing nations.
• It curates training courses for civil servants from India and other developing countries.
• It provides a platform for sharing existing knowledge and proactively seeking out and developing ideas for their implementation in the government, both at the National & International levels.
• NCGG has been extensively working in areas such as primary and elementary education, decentralized planning at district and block levels, capacity building of Panchayat Raj Institutions (PRIs), participatory models of learning and action, rural development, cooperatives, and public sector management, etc.
• NCGG is governed by a Governing Body, under the Chairmanship of the Cabinet Secretary.
