Indian Administration: Retrospect and Prospect

Indian Administration: Retrospect and Prospect is a textbook with a difference. Prepared mainly for the benefit of students of Public Administration, it includes a wide range of materials, from academic journals, reports of government commissions and committees, as well as the experiences of the Indian civil servants in the field. It is a comprehensive compendium that not only sums up the events of the past, but also suggests workable guidelines for the future administration of the country. The challenges of democracy, development, information technology, liberalization, privatization, and globalization are being accommodated in the developing structures and changing processes of Indian Public Administration. Students of the discipline can explore the impact of past legacies, the maladies that ail the present, and the new public management patterns that are emerging for the future.
