Indian Administration Politics, Policies And Prospects

Kamala Prasad

This book is a unique contribution to the literature on public administration in India and deserves to be compulsory reading for all concerned with the problems of Indian administration. The author’s varied administrative experience, his international exposure to the discourse on development, and his total commitment to the values of equity, justice and rights in the public sphere find full expression…”

“This book is an important contribution towards understanding the challenges facing the Indian administration in the 21st century. It amply demonstrates Kamala Prasad’s sensitivity to the political factors at the root of the current administrative malaise.”

“It will be useful to have such a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of Indian administration, especially from someone who is an insider and yet has the necessary detachment to reflect upon its complexities and relevance in the context of the changing role of the state today!”
