Notably, the writer Rudyard Kipling stayed there in 1888. In 1984, a fire destroyed the main hotel building; however, the government later acquired the property from private ownership. The academy has undergone two name changes. In October 1972, it was renamed the Lal Bahadur Shastri Academy of Administration, and in July 1973, it received its current name: Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA). The motto of the training college, written in Sanskrit, is "Sheelam Param Bhushanam," which translates to "Character is the highest virtue."
