"The idea of setting up a Public Finance institute was in the mind of Dr. Chelliah for quite a long time. After all, he was one of the leading experts in the area of public finance and his own doctoral thesis was also on public finance. Therefore, he wanted to do it. We have had some discussions when he was thinking over the idea and the idea of setting up an institution was also strongly supported by C. Subramanian, who was Finance Minister at the time. Then in the late 1970s, it finally came to shape."

former Chairman of NIPFP
"It (NIPFP) gave access to be in policy making and also got some kind of independent prestige. Even during the emergency period and that kind of independence was prestige was because of the founding members and I'm happy to say that NIPFP has maintained it over the years. I think the institute continues to maintain that legacy and also maintained its intellectual by-line and still continues to working, in whatever zigzag way for the government. So I think we have lived up to the vision and I'm very proud of it."
