DESCRIPTION
The present compilation of articles, papers, excerpts and notes is intended as supplementary reading material for students and scholars of public administration. The various courses conducted by public administration institutions at the Central and State levels too have been considered in respect of their syllabus, course contents and requirements. Thus the material presented here would be of interest and of immense use to aspirants of the Central and State level commission services. The compilation deals with the modern context of public administration, local government administration and reform initiatives, financial management and accountability in public administration, the structure of administration and the development dynamics and country experiences with institutions and organisations for improving administrative performance and efficiency. The modern context encompasses in the present compilation the interface between political institution and the demands of the people in welfare state, as well as the Indian context of an inherited and modified steel frame of bureaucracy and the tasks before the government in terms of planned socio-economic development. The volumes in the series are so structured as to be readable and useful not only individually but collectively as well. The Indian context in general makes the collection of much value to students, teachers and researchers in colleges, universities and administration institutions, in the country.
