One-Year Integrated Residential Programme for Transformational Leadership

We propose the establishment of an exclusive institute dedicated to cultivating transformational leadership along with civil services preparation.

Historic Fort Ramshehar, Himachal Pradesh

12 Months

Residential (Full-time Academic & Leadership Training)

Our Vision

At the heart of our programme lies a singular, ambitious vision:

To create a new generation of transformational leaders—rooted in values, equipped with knowledge, and empowered by innovation.

We believe that India’s future will be shaped not just by those who clear exams, but by those who can lead with courage, integrity, and vision.

Civil servants who inspire change, not just implement policy

Political and business leaders who prioritize ethics alongside ambition

Tech-aware administrators ready to leverage AI and data for public good

Individuals who lead with empathy, insight, and national purpose

In a time of global uncertainty and rapid change, we aim to nurture leaders who are ready for complexity—yet anchored in simplicity; visionary—yet grounded in reality.

“This is not just an academic programme. It is a leadership crucible—where minds are sharpened, values are tested, and futures are forged.”

Director’s Message: On Leadership & Vision

Dear Students,

We live in times where leaders must understand both policy and technology, governance and global change. Civil servants of tomorrow will not only manage public institutions—they will steer India through complex challenges like AI regulation, digital inclusion, climate justice, and national security.

This programme is built to create such leaders.

By integrating UPSC preparation with AI literacy and leadership training, we aim to give you a rare advantage—intellectual depth, ethical clarity, and futuristic vision. The residential model at Fort Ramshehar ensures you are free from distraction and immersed in a community of discipline, focus, and purpose.

As you begin this journey, know that you're not just preparing for an exam—you’re being groomed for service, leadership, and legacy.

With best wishes,

Director’s Message: On Purpose & Pedagogy

Dear Aspirants,

At Abhipedia | Abhimanu IAS, our mission has always been to prepare not just candidates for an exam, but leaders for the nation. This new initiative at Fort Ramshehar is a natural extension of that vision—a place where discipline meets inspiration, and ancient heritage nurtures modern minds.

The UPSC examination demands more than academic knowledge. It requires clarity of thought, moral courage, and leadership ability. Through this residential programme, we aim to offer students not just expert-led academic coaching, but a life-transforming ecosystem.

Here, learning doesn’t stop at the classroom. It continues through discussion circles, AI labs, ethical debates, and leadership workshops—all within the calming walls of a historic fort.

This is your opportunity to not just prepare for a career, but to step into your larger calling. We look forward to shaping the future with you.

Warm regards,

Parveen Bansal
