Occasionally, the Institute runs training programmes for officials coming from
other states. It functions as the state’s institute for rural development, panchayati
raj and administrative training institute. Starting out in November 1999, in a
building in the state agricultural farm, in picturesque surroundings in a hillside
on Ella, Old Goa, GIPARD now trains over 8000 functionaries over 200 training

importance of training in the process of governance, the Govt. of Goa has
acquired 13000 sq. mtrs. of land for GIPARD to have its own campus from the

Architect’s Brief

1. Introduction: - GIPARD was set up as an institution to train Officials and Elected

Representatives of the Government of Goa since 1999. It has trained thousands of Officials,
Elected Representatives and members of Civil Society since its inception.
Initially started as a state institute of Local Government, it has expanded to become a State
Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj and in 2014, its role was expanded to
become the State Administrative Training Institute. Originally operating out of the
premises of the Agriculture Training Centre, it was given its own building in the
Government Agriculture Farm premises in Ella. The Goa State Training Policy 2016,
enunciated the role of GIPARD as the apex body for training in the Government of Goa.
Over the last 2 years, land has been allotted to the Institute and now it has 13,067 sq.mts.
of land and a storied building, carved out of the picturesque Government Farm campus in
Ella, Old Goa. GIPARD has an ambitious road map prepared in collaboration with
YASHADA, Maharashtra, for future centres of Rural Development, Panchayati Raj, Tribal
Development, Urban Development and Good Governance. The Institute has big training
programmes in Panchayati Raj and Livelihood Development funded by the Government of
India. The institute has started Induction and Refresher courses for the State Civil Service
Cadre. This calls for infrastructural development of the institute which has just one 45-
year-old building to carry out its activities for training almost 10,000 persons a year.

2. Sites:- The allocation of land from the Agriculture Department in 2017 marks GIPARD
having a campus of its own for the first time. Since it is not very big, a scientific/prudent
and careful planning of the land resources available to it, would optimize the use of land
for the next 3 decades so that a full fledged institutional campus can be built in this small
space.

3. The first step, requires a land use study and site plan, which would give the Management
of the institute a clear and optimum plan to develop the infrastructure of GIPARD to cope
with the future training requirements over the next 4 or 5 decades. This would call for
judicious use of land, adequate green cover, and eco-friendly sustainable land and building
management practices. This would emphasize, recycling, renewable energy, green building
and low energy and maintenance concepts.

4. The Building: - We also require at the first instance, an institutional building where
GIPARD can carry out its activities in a seamless and comfortable environment with
adequate use of technologies and spaces to cater to the expanding activities of the
institution over the coming years. Since GIPARD is Goa’s apex state training institute
7
 and likely first point of entry for officials into government service, it would be appropriate
if an impressive and iconic building were made for GIPARD. It does not need to be huge
and imposing, but it should be well designed and aspirational, reflecting the states
traditional heritage building idioms while reflecting its futuristic aspirations for its people
and land. The building should be a modern building, subtly rooted in Goa’s ethos and
architectural values, while expressing futuristic values in its manifestation. It should be an
eco-friendly building, which is low maintenance and should incorporate renewable, and
efficient sustainable energy water and waste management practices with LEED/GRIHA
parameters that should serve as a model for other public buildings.

5. Costs: - It is felt that a building of this kind should also embody the principles of low cost
and maintenance, and should be built for a working life of above fifty years and should
accommodate construction in phases or future expansion. Ideally the institution building
could be about 2000 sq. mtr and cost about Rs. 3 crores at today‟s prices, with provision
for solar energy supply, recycling of solid and liquid waste and LEEDs principles for a
building where lighting and cooling cost are optimized. The building should be capable of
being constructed in phases so that completed parts of the building would become
operational as early as possible. An area programme would be part and parcel of the
proposal presentation.

6. A preliminary list of requirements of land use and the proposed building after discussion
with staff and faculty is annexed below. This can be a basis for further discussion and
elaboration.
