India's First Political
Training Institute
Producing ethical, qualified and representative public leaders for State and Central Governments since 2006.
About the Institute
The Institute of Political Leadership emerged in 2006 from Delhi, founded by our Honourable Director Mr. Shahnawaz Chaudhary. Concerned about the lack of integrity in our political system, he began a program to improve the quality of political and governmental leadership at State and Central levels.
The sole purpose of this unique leadership institute is to produce better qualified, ethical, accessible and more representative public leaders in India. We provide leadership development for persons identified as having the potential to become future public leaders.
No other program offers such a comprehensive curriculum in strategic political leadership development. The Institute keeps 45–50 Fellows per batch across different training programmes. Selection is based on leadership potential and commitment — with absolutely no discrimination on the basis of race, sex, language, caste, region, religion or ideology.
