"This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the administration in India from independence to date. It examines the major transformation in the administrative service initiated by the "Minimum Government and Maximum Governance" initiative of the Government of India in 2014. In spite of enormous diversity and population, India has made remarkable progress in various fields such as health, education, infrastructure and technology. Structured in three parts, (1) social sector, (2) infrastructure and economy, and (3) e-governance and service delivery, the book examines challenges of governance and provides insight into different innovations undertaken to address these challenges. E-governance lies at the core of this transformation of accountability, transparency and time bound service delivery. Contributions in this book are written by experts working in the Indian Administrative Service, academia and the private sector and cover a wide spectrum of administration from the point of view of different departments of government, as well as the experiences of the authors ranging from senior bureaucrats to mid-career officers and analyses of researchers on administration and its challenges. The initiatives covered in this book can serve as solutions to similar challenges faced by other developing countries of the world. The book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of administration and policy, civil service, public management, South Asian politics and Development Studies"-- |
