Relevancy of administrative work - a critical study in Indian perspective

Abstract

This critical study examines administrative work in India and its impact on government, public service delivery, and socioeconomic growth. It covers administrative institutions from the Mauryan Empire's centralized rule to British colonial bureaucracy and post-independence reforms like the Indian Administrative Service. Despite administrative improvements, bureaucracy, corruption, and lack of accountability hinder efficacy. The research critically examines how administrative actions affect public welfare in health, education, infrastructure, and rural development. Public services have improved thanks to PMGSY, NHM, and MDMS, however implementation and resource allocation remain difficulties. The report indicates that India needs more openness, accountability, and efficient governance to improve administrative efficiency and socioeconomic progress.
