Although other universities in the nation offer population and development related courses and conduct research and training, there is still need for abridging the gap for incorporating grassroots-based practical activities into the University exercises. This need inspired Purbanchal University to establish CPAD.
Currently CPAD offers Master of Science in Population and Rural Development (MSc PRD).
