National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA)
Established on April 1, 1966, NIDA is an institution for higher education under the Office of Higher Education Commission, Ministry of Education.
History of NIDA
Established on April 1, 1966, NIDA is an institution for higher education under the Office of Higher Education Commission, Ministry of Education. At its infancy, NIDA received initial help from the Faculty of Political Science, Thammasat University, Department of International Affairs, Ford Foundation, and Midwest University Consortium for International Affairs (MUCIA), acquiring a portion of educating and training programs from Office of National Economic and Social Development.
At present, NIDA has transformed from “government agency” to an institute for higher learning under the affiliation of Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation. The Institute in 2019 was announced for an autonomous university status in the Royal Gazette issued under No. 136 Clause 50 ก dated April 16, 2019, page 117-207.
NIDA in Remembrance
With special interest in economic development, King Rama IX in 1960 had discussed with Mr. David Rockefeller the improvement and development of national statistics, which was deemed highly important for national development. Eventually, the idea was materialized and proposed under the establishment of Graduate Institute of Development Administration (GIDA).
Later on, the Government constituted a commission to consider creating an institution for higher education in management and national development. The Commission’s decision to establish the Institute for Development Administration offering master and doctoral degrees, training, and research which was based on the GIDA project conceptualized by Dr. Stacey May, was then put forward to the Cabinet.
Afterwards, just as known today, the Institute was named National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA).
Resolution, Vision, and Mission
NIDA council convened on June 29, 2022 at the 6th meeting of 2022 and approved the five-year strategic development plan (2023 – 2027) as follows:
Philosophy
The Birth of “Wisdom”
Over the past 15 years, NIDA’s philosophy “Wisdom for Change” had transformed into “Wisdom for Sustainable Development” as the Institute realizes that NIDA must further reflect its role to encompass, in addition to change, wisdom for sustainable development in the society in the international stage. This comprises three main roles: first is creating societal wisdom and development; second is cultivating global leaders for the 21st century; and three is providing social contributions.
Resolution
Conceived by H.M. King Bhumipol Adulyadej (King Rama IX), NIDA has therefore strictly adhered to the royal speech given at the Institute’s very first commencement ceremony for graduation on November 19, 1970 as the guiding principles for transferring knowledge and integrity for the creation of wisdom, conscience, social responsibility, and public accountability. These principles aim to create continuous development, concentrating on high quality education and ensuring that Thailand has the capabilities and potential in handling global changes and competitions.

To realize NIDA’s vision, the missions that must be accomplished are the following:
