Question 1- What has been the structure of civil services in India? And what have been the terms of his
promotion?
Answer -
Introduction
The East India Company, established in 1600 AD, had its own civil service which was responsible for carrying out
commercial functions. The Lasha Kanshivalis introduced the civil service in India during the British rule, which led to the
better administration of the British territories in India. Can be done Cornwallis introduced stricter regulations for officials,
increased their salaries to free them from corruption, and linked promotion to seniority. These efforts turned the civil service
into a highly sought after profession. Fort William College opened in Calcutta in 1801 to train young civil servants
Went.
In the year 1854, the Macaulay Committee provided India with the first modern civil service. This committee recommended
that the patronage based system of the East India Company be replaced by a quality permanent civil service through
competitive examinations. After 1855, recruitment to the Indian Civil Service (ICS) became purely on the basis of merit.
Initially, candidates were recruited for this service only from Oxford Cambridge (London), but after 1922, this examination
At the time of the British East India Company, the structure of the civil services was divided into three categories :
Charles Cornwallis (Governor General of India 1786–1793), at that time a British army general and officer, was the first
person to 'bring the civil services into existence'; This is the reason why he is also known as the father of Civil Services
of India.

Since the time of Warren Hastings (Governor General of Bengal 1773-1785), the Company had commercial affairs. In
those days civil servants were not appointed through any competition, rather they were nominated through the Court
of Directors.
• Covenanted: In civil services it means 'high pay' and it is applicable only to British
Used to be for
• Uncovenanted : The non-covenanted services meant the 'bottom rung' of the civil services and
It was not only for the British but also for the Indians.
At that time corruption was increasing day by day, so to end the corruption, Cornwallis took many steps.
As such, he raised the salaries of civil servants. Civil servants could not engage in private business of any kind;
So, he made some strict rules for that and strictly enforced the rules against private business. In addition, the
Like Cornwallis, Richard Leslie (Governor General of India, 1798-1805) also introduced several reforms to the civil
service. He established the Fort William College (July 10, 1800) in Calcutta to train civil servants appointed to India.
After his retirement in 1806, the Court of Directors disbanded his Fort William College and established another
college for the civil service at Haileybury, London, to train new recruits.
• The recruitment of civil servants was put through open competition and hence it
• To conduct the examination, a body was formed, the Civil Services in London in 1854

Was released.
In 1863, Satyendranath Tagore, the elder brother of Reindranath Tagore, became the first Indian to pass the
Indian Civil Service examination. At that time, he was only 21 years of age. After this, in 1866, the age limit for
appearing in this examination was reduced to 21 years. But in spite of this, four Indians passed this examination in the
very next year. In 1878, Lord Wilton reduced the maximum age limit for this examination from 21 to 19 years. Only 1/6
of the covenanted positions could be filled by Indians, who were nominated by the local government but this subject
was approved by a night secretary and viceroy. After some time, it failed miserably and was scrapped.
In 1885, the Indian National Congress was formed, and it raised several demands related to civil service reforms. For
this reason, it superseded the Government of India Act 1919. In 1924, the 'Lee Commission' also recommended some
reforms in the civil services, it was proposed to have an equal number of British and Indian members in the civil services.
In this, according to the Lee Commission, it should be 20% Indians promoted from provincial services, as well as 40%

According to William G. Torrie, “Promotion refers to the movement of an employee from one position to a higher
grade and salary.” However, there are certain elements of a promotion and it changes the following: are:

• From lower grade to higher grade: From junior typist to senior typist • From lower
These promotions are mainly based on three principles which are based on seniority, merit, seniority merit.

Introduction - The Indian administrative system is as old as the Indian social and cultural system.
Indian administration also came into practice first and then became part of the study area. The way
the study area developed after the practical study of social, cultural, economic, political systems and
the need for administrative structures and organization arose for the operation and management of all
these systems. Administration is the focal point of all systems. The evolution of Indian administration
remained practical from ancient times to modern times and thereafter took the form of a discipline.
Compulsive Administration
If an unbiased study of the present Indian administrative system is done, it would appear that most
of India is a legacy of British rule. Till 1858, the British administration in India was mainly under the
East India Company. Although the British government tried to control the Company administration by
passing Acts from time to time. The emperor took over the company completely in 1858. When the
British started trading activities from 1600, foreign powers like Portuguese, China and French were
This was possible because of the decline of the Mughal Empire and the devastating wars between
the Rajas and the Naabs. For example, after winning the Battle of Plassey in 1757 and by the Treaty
of Allahabad in 1765, he obtained the Diwani of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa. Along with this, he also got
the right of administration and revenue collection on these provinces. For example, between the Battle of
Plassey in 1757 and the Mutiny of 1857, the British conquered the whole of India in these hundred years

The present Indian administrative system is considered to be the legacy of the British rule because at the time of
transfer of power in 1947, we had accepted the British administrative structure as it was, in which very few
amendments or additions have been made. The Indian administration, controlled by the East India Company and
British laws, was continuously developed and modified for almost 200 years. The processes or traditions that
developed during this period, their effect is clearly visible even today on the Indian administrative system, which
are as follows-
Indian Civil Services :- The 'Indian Civil Services', the Indian Civil Services and the All India Civil Services
were started by the British Government to run the administration in India. Lasha Kanshivalis is considered the
father of civil services in India. . Even after independence, the system of All India Services was continued and at
present there are three All India Services viz. Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS)
and Indian Forest Service (IFS) . These services were the mainstay of the British Raj.
The development of other public services is also a gift of the British rule, apart from the IAS that migrated by the
name of steel frame, which is as strong as steel. The tradition of setting up residential colonies of high officials
away from the residences of general public in the form of 'civil lines' was developed by the British. In 1772, the
office of the District Collector was created. Warren Hastings was the first district collector of India.
Secretariat System :- Secretariat is the higher administrative organization in which the political minister or
secretary (administrative officer of the department) and his other personnel are stationed. Developed during the
British rule, the secretariat is still an important part of policy, law and program formulation and control, which was
mainly created to give advice to the ministers in their work. Many other types of executive organizations like
Directorate, Board, Commission and Corporation etc. have been organized to practically implement the policies

Rigid Bureaucracy: - Rigid functioning of laws, rules and procedures and 'file system' for the
performance of administrative duties started in the dark ages. Because the British officers used to
harass the common Indian by calling them liars, idiots and complex people. Therefore, in every
administrative work, the processes of taking lengthy forms, certificates, character certificates,
certificates from gazetted officers, etc. were prescribed, which are still continuing in the Indian public administration.
Unitary and Federal System with Unitary Elements :- There is no doubt that the British had made a
successful attempt to unite vast India. Uniform laws, strict discipline, social reforms and All India Services
etc. have been helpful in this endeavour. The federal structure had started in British rule by dividing the
governance operations at the center and provincial level. Similarly, the important functions of national
security and unity, such as the army, foreign relations, railways, postal and telecommunication, etc. were
handed over to the central government, so that there would be no danger due to disparity at the provincial
level. Administrative functions or subjects are divided into federal, provincial and committee lists, which are
affected by the Act of 1935. Although India is a country with a federal system of government, still single

Self-Government :- In addition to the federal and provincial governance system in India, the local self-government,
that is, the municipalities and the rulers, in Bombay and Madras Presidencies in 1864, gave the constitutional
authority of Nyaya Panchayat to the panchayats. On May 12, 1882, Laish Rin, who is considered the father of local
self-government in India, introduced the system of elected representatives in rural local bodies. The 'Decentralization
The first Municipal Corporations were established in Madras in 1687 and later in Calcutta and Bombay in 1726,
but in other cities, the replacement of Municipal Corporations started after the policy of Lash Rin. After
independence, on October 2, 1959, the decentralized structure of rural local self-government was introduced in
India, which was given constitutional status in 1992-93. The idea of democratic decentralization These institutions
Conclusion - It is important to remember that the history of the development of Indian administration has left
a decisive impact on its present structure and administrative functioning. These administrative legacies are linked
to the Indian administrative reality in such a way that they cannot be separated from the present day Indian
administration. These legacies are effective and provide continuity to the administration because of the difference
in habits of Indian administrators over the centuries. Even today, British administrative influence can be seen in
various aspects of Indian administration. This influence can be seen in the important areas of Indian administration,
among them are secretariat-system, district and regional administration, public services, work-process, parliamentary

Question 3 – Explain the role of Indian Prime Minister and Cabinet Secretariat.
Answer -
Introduction
As per the Indian constitution, we have adopted the parliamentary system of government. The source of this
system of governance is the British system of governance, but the makers of the Indian constitution implemented
it in India by adding republican values to the British parliamentary system. It means that the Indian parliamentary
system has transformed the Chief Executive to the President-elect. The chief executive of India is the President
(constitutional) but the real power is vested in the Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister. Both these
We can say that the President of India is the theoretical head and the Prime Minister is the
practical head of the governance system. These two chairpersons cannot do their work unless they
get administrative support because there is a need for data management for decision making and
Apart from the Group of Ministers, the Central Secretariat plays an important role in coordinating the administrative
work of other Ministers of the Cabinet. The central governance system of all these secretariats and offices is
considered to be the basic basis. Therefore, in this unit, a detailed mention has been made of the main secretariats
and offices of the central administration along with the location of the constitutional and political presidents.
Prime Minister
In the parliamentary system of government, the Prime Minister gets the central position. It is the basic foundation of
the entire governance system and the focal point of national politics. The prime minister is the de facto chairman of the
executive. Apart from this, he is the supreme leader of his party and people and the main spokesperson of the country.
In the words of Dr. Ambedkar, "The prime minister is the pivot of the whole system in the government." The place of the Prime
Minister is very important in India's parliamentary governance system. He is called the political or practical administrator of the country.

goes. He is considered the spokesperson of the country's home policy, financial policy and foreign policy. He is
The Prime Minister of India, established as a functionary of religious and political nature, is the focal
point of the aspirations of the people of the country, the criticisms of education and the infinite powers
of governance. While being in the heart of the Prime Minister, he has to perform a variety of roles.
India is a welfare state having faith in democratic values where the system of governance of parliamentary
democracy prevails. The actual establishment of democracy in the country, the redressal of the sufferings of the
common man and the implementation of the constitutional instructions are mainly influenced by the working style of
the Prime Minister and other ministers of his cabinet. In majority of the cases, the Prime Minister is a senior and
capable politician of a political party supported by popular mandate, who through governance, ensures political and
administrative goals.
As a Policy Framer
In a parliamentary democracy, the prime minister and the council of ministers are a part of the
legislature. Thus the Prime Minister plays an influential role in both the executive and the legislature. The
Prime Minister is the person who formulates the basic policies for national problems, programmes, plans
and socio-economic development. However, these policies are highly influenced by the beliefs of the party
of which the Prime Minister is a member. The role of the Prime Minister in policy-making is decisive and decisive.
As a Development Leader
India is ranked among those countries where efforts are made to achieve the goals of socio-economic
development through the planning system. As the chairman of Niti Aayog, the vision and initiative taken by
the Prime Minister in the course of development definitely plays a crucial role in the overall development of the
nation. With the nation's problems, people's aspirations, available resources and efficient administrative system

Only the Prime Minister who establishes long-term coordination can give new dimensions to development.
Prime Minister's policies, working style and relations with bureaucracy affect his development-oriented
As a Politician in Parliament
The Prime Minister is a member of the Lok Sabha. Being the agreed leader of the majority party, he has
to face political-ideological differences with the leaders of other political parties ie education and natural
governmental pressure due to being the prime minister. The working style of the Prime Minister is clearly
visible in the bills, proposals and general budget to be presented in the Parliament. Similarly, at the time of
question hour, trust vote or no-confidence vote, etc., the Prime Minister has to answer in the debate from both
the point of view of the ruling party and the country's political agenda. It is a difficult task for any Prime Minister
to face criticism of education and factual allegations. In the Parliament, the Prime Minister not only plays the
defensive role of defending his government but also plays the role of a shrewd politician at times.
Vishashasht also prepares Rinivat in form. Being the Prime Minister, he also has to solve the regional
and personal problems of the MPs of his own party, allies and development parties because the Prime
Minister is in a way the troubleshooter of all. Together with the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, the Prime
Minister has a lot of contribution in making the agenda of the meetings and establishing order in the
House.
Due to the polarization happening in the fast moving world, the image of any country is also affected by
its factions. Through the Non-Aligned Movement, the Rashtramil and the SAARC, India's image is to a
lesser extent that of a fair and peace-loving nation. For this, the ideology of all the Prime Ministers and the
economic status of India in international forums have been important. Prime Minister's role is important in
clarifying India's position in the course of UN meetings and other international problems.

Cabinet Secretariat
The Cabinet Secretariat is a body that plays an important coordinating role in the high level
decision making process and works under the direction of the Prime Minister. Since independence, the
Executive Council of the Viceroy or the Khush Gunsher Journal used to play the role of the Cabinet
Secretariat. Lord Wellington (1931 - 36) was the first Gunner General. Experienced ICS due to partition
and independence of India. As a result of shortage of officers, the Binet Secretariat was merged with the
Prime Minister's Secretariat. After independence N. R. Villa I's cabinet secretary was appointed. He
went to London and studied the structure and functioning of the British Binet Secretariat and came to
India and provided necessary advice to the government. Ministry of Grievances and Pensions". The

Cabinet as Secretariat: It provides secretarial assistance to the Union Cabinet and its committees
in the day-to-day work. This secretariat prepares the agenda for the meetings of the cabinet, maintains
records of its debates and decisions and prepares knowledge on the subjects that come before it.
This secretariat serves as an information center to transmit necessary information related to various
government organizations, central cabinet committees, and national and regional organizations.

Is. It also communicates the decisions of the cabinet meetings to the concerned departments. It forwards to
various concerned institutions by preparing monthly reports on the decisions taken on major subjects.
As a initiator department: In this form, the Cabinet Secretariat does three types of initiation work-
First, the appointments of ministers, ministers of state, candidate ministers and parliamentary secretaries
in the cabinet, distribution of their portfolios, suspension ceremony, suspension, resignation, etc., come
under this.
Secondly, under the provisions of Article 77 (3) of the Constitution, to make such laws which help in carrying
out the functions of the government conveniently. This happens in the Cabinet Office.
Thirdly, its important preparatory work is to oversee the departments concerned with the implementation
In October 1945, the Coordinating Committee was formed in the Viceroy's Executive Council as a
coordinating department. Its mandate was to coordinate civil and military affairs. The secretary of this
committee had no executive authority, yet he did the following on behalf of the committee:

For efficient implementation of government policies in any administrative system, coordination between the
departments is very important. Many methods have been adopted for this. The department dealing with
cabinet subjects is one such agency which functions for effective coordination. Many types of units work in
the Government of India; Like Ministries, Departments, Corporation Boards, Companies, New Committees
etc.
Coordinating these different units is a difficult task. The Cabinet Secretary being the Chairman of
various Cabinet Committees plays an important role in coordinating various departments. This secretariat
also does co-ordinating work between the center and various states.
In the form of implementing the policies of the cabinet, this secretariat, mainly through the cabinet
secretary, gives advice to the prime minister and, when necessary, to the ministers on the formulation and
execution of policies related to important subjects from time to time. It has to assist the Majyantra Mill and
do necessary work in respect of all the subjects placed before the Majyantra Mill; Such as preparing
proposals to be submitted to the Parliament for arrangements , matters related to contracts and
agreements with foreign countries, etc., consideration of proposals for commencement of sessions of
Parliament, adjournment and dissolution of Lok Sabha, appointment of public inquiry committees and
Consideration of the reports of such committees, reconsideration, etc., of any intelligent decision taken by the Committee.
One of the important functions of the cabinet secretariat is to see whether the decisions taken by the
cabinet or its committees are being implemented or not. For this work, this secretariat prepares a monthly
report, in which the work of each ministry is reviewed and to what extent the decisions have been implemented.
If it is observed that no ministry is making progress in implementing the decisions of the cabinet, then the
matter is taken up at a higher level so that the implementation of the decisions can be expedited.

Conclusion
Thus we can say that the position of Indian Prime Minister depends on his personality. The Prime Minister
takes the help of the Prime Minister's Office, the Cabinet Secretariat and the Central Secretariat to carry out
his functions. The Principal Secretary in the Prime Minister's Office, the Cabinet Secretary in the Cabinet
Secretariat and the Secretaries of various Ministries in the Central Secretariat give final shape to the decisions
and policies of the country's welfare. Therefore, the central governance system is a collective decision-making
body which, by establishing coordination with various systems, plans and manages development and elections in
a successful manner.
Answer – The meaning of Panchayat is the institution of self-government which has been established to work in

The Constitution (Seventy-third Amendment) Act provides constitutional status and infrastructural rights to panchayats
in India, it is a positive and important step in building panchayats, it provides a significant contribution in dynamizing
local democratic institutions and empowering rural people. It is a very important arrangement for the ongoing
democratic and development process. State governments are bound to carry out the measures provided under the
Constitution (Seventy-third Amendment) Act. But many differences have also remained between the various states

with the objective of providing opportunities for formulating flagship schemes at the local level with a
focus on social and economic empowerment. Its most important element is that provisions have been
made to give central grants directly to all panchayats. All these nights will not be given through the
government, that is, the central government will directly provide them to the panchayats.
Decentralization ensures the governance to be effective which mainly targets directly to the citizens to
supply the services. But after careful review of the Panchayat system, it has been found that the
First, many states have many panchayats with very small populations. Therefore, they do not have
their minimum resources available to provide basic services and functions autonomously, as a result
of which they are not getting any benefit. These nights are so dependent on the governments that they
look up to them for financial and administrative support. They not only alter their autonomy but also
Second, the elected members especially women do not show participatory approach, it is very lacking

Question 5- What are the main problems of Panchayat Raj? How can they be resolved? Give suggestions.
Answer
Introduction
In a country like India where 80% of the population resides in villages, the importance of rural local governance popularly
known as Panchayati Raj is self-evident. The Panchayat is considered to be one of the oldest political formations of India.
With the launch of the Community Development Program on October 2, 1952, this plan is considered to have started. The
day of October 2 has been chosen because it is the birth date of Gandhiji. Gandhiji used to give utmost importance to the
He considered the reconstruction of rural life possible only with the re-establishment of village panchayats . The
framers of the Constitution of India were also well aware of this fact, so adequate attention was paid to the rural governance
situation in order to realize our independence and make it permanent. Our constitution directs that the Raj shall take steps
for the formation of village panchayats and endow them with such power and authority that they (village panchayats) may
Gandhiji rightly said: “If villages are destroyed, India will also be destroyed.” That would not be India either, its message
The bill was presented in 1989, 1990 and 1991 to establish the structure of local institutions, rights and functions in the
constitution for rural development, but due to some reasons the act could not be held. The Panchayati Raj Act was passed
by the Lok Sabha on 22 December 1992 and the Raj Sabha on 23 December 1992 and was sent to the states for
ratification. On 20 April 1993, after the signature of the President, the 73rd Constitutional Amendment was implemented in
the country of India from 23 April 1993. The Seventh Amendment Act of 1956 by Section 29 of the Constitution inserted
the original Part 9 by the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1992 with effect from 24 January 1993. Articles 243 to

Mention has been made in the subject of Panchayati Raj. Article 243ZD of the 74th Constitutional
Amendment Act provides for the formation of committees for district planning.
For the development of the rural people, schemes of development are formulated and implemented from
time to time by the central, state and local governments, but due to the challenges in the implementation of
the functioning of the Panchayati Raj, the benefits of these schemes do not reach those villagers. Which is
needy in the state, behind this challenges are increasing day by day due to mechanisms related to
1- Challenge of qualified administrators and experts :- We all know that planning work fails in the
absence of qualified administrators and experts. At the time of financial plans, experts and
administrators came into administration but they did not get the place they should have got. Therefore,
they feel disappointed and frustrated with their self and at the same time their morale to work
continuously falls and they leave the place of work and start working in other places. If by chance any
skilled administrator or expert tries to do developmental work with his honesty, dedication, hard work,
then he cannot do the developmental work even if he wants to, coming under pressure from political
and high command pressures, due to which day by day The shortage of administrators and experts is increasing day b
,
2. Lack of accurate and reliable facts Without facts and figures, no plan can be made, nor can
any realistic vision be made, because the administration lacks data. Figures are found in all
the subjects but they are not found correct and reliable. For example – Vidhya Pension Yojana
or Rural Housing Scheme. Until the administration does not get the data of correct and reliable
facts, it will be futile to plan the developmental works of rural development and to imagine their

3. Challenge of relations between officers and functionaries :- Where the policy making and coordination
is done, it acts as a bridge in the development programs of the district, due to which the development work
becomes stagnant. There are difficulties in the work of preparation and implementation of development plans
and the development does not become proper. Later it became clear from direct observation that due to lack
of relations departmental tension, estrangement, jealousy develops. Due to which the lack of mutual
4. Irregularity in the implementation of developmental schemes:- In Panchayati Raj and district planning
committees, most of the amount goes into the pockets of planners and the remaining amount goes into the
pockets of administrative officers and political claimants and the remaining amount is spent in developmental
works. Is imposed, which is only about 15 percent. Development plans and programs are made on the basis
of this remaining amount, and the amount gets exhausted in half the programme.
5. Increasing effect of red-tapism:- There is unnecessary delay in completion of developmental works due
to increasing effect of red-tapism. Sometimes the files of developmental plans remain pending for months.
Due to which the common man remains deprived of the fruits of development. For example, if a letter
submitted for building construction tax, road construction etc. is sent to the District Magistrate or the
Metropolitan Magistrate, it remains pending for months. Not only this, they start making rounds again and
again for pending work, due to which bribery and corruption get promoted.
6. Lack of public participation:- The schemes to be implemented by the Panchayati Raj system require
public cooperation for thorough implementation and compliance. Whether it is the plan of the Gram Panchayat
or the District Council. The scheme implemented by the central government is completed through the officials
related to the Panchayati Raj system. But due to the lack of public cooperation in the implementation of these
schemes, many problems have to be faced in the successful implementation of the schemes. Plans and

7. Laxity in the implementation of the plan:- The work does not end with the formulation of developmental plans for the
development of any area. The real meaning and importance of a scheme lies in its successful implementation. Many long and wide
developmental schemes are made by the central, state and local government. Work, that is, the implementation work of those
schemes does not start at all, due to which the development of that area remains only imaginary due to laxity in the implementation
8. Spoil Method / Individualism in the implementation of schemes:- The preparation and implementation of any local scheme is
done keeping in mind the personal interests, interests, in the formulation and implementation of plans for local development i.e.
district planning Along with personal interests, there are serious problems like favoritism of officers, misuse of resources, nepotism,
etc., due to which the planning of the district is neither done properly nor its implementation.
9. Lack of democratization in the administrative machinery:- There is a lack of democratization in the administrative machinery
involved in formulation and implementation of district plans, as a result of which the administrative machinery has failed to achieve
its goals.
10. Lack of dialogue:- Due to public dialogue, the government has failed to reach the plans of rural development to the rural
people, due to which the rural people do not get to know about the plans properly and those plans are implemented and the rural
poor Uneducated and helpless people waste all their time waiting for the scheme to come and they remain deprived of the benefits
of the schemes.
The following suggestions have been made to solve the problems of Panchayat Raj Institutions
1. Decentralization - The recommendations of the various commissions are that for the decentralization of administration, the
responsibility of arrangement of power should also be handed over to the municipal bodies. . Ram Manohar Lohiya had said that the
institutions of self-government should have absolute authority in their respective areas. Of course these institutions
All Rights Reserved © Manish Verma, for more Notes visit https://www.manishvermanotes.com/

24
There should be an increase in the liabilities as well as in their means. Municipal bodies should be given more powers than
other institutions.
2. Increase in resources - It is necessary that their means of income should be increased. The government should give more
share of tax received from that area to the local bodies. The grant received for primary education should be adequate and
timely.
3. Increase in rights - At present, the self-governance practices are not widespread in any way. The control of the state
government sometimes hinders their limited rights. Along with giving them comprehensive rights, a clear policy should be laid
4. Improvement in source of income - Most of the institutions do not discharge their liabilities due to lack of financial
resources. Generally the following are the sources of income of the townspeople
business activities.
These powers are very limited as far as taxation of municipalities is concerned. Therefore, the municipalities will have to take
some such measures, so that they can increase their income without burdening the poor people with less tax.
a) A certain percentage of the total income of the State Government should be earmarked so that the civic amenities of that
area can be systematically increased. b) Business functions - to enable autonomous government institutions to perform

5. Administrative Decentralization - There should be administrative decentralization in the country, if that decentralization is
6. Change in the attitude of the officers - At present, the attitude of the government officers towards the institutions of self-
government is not polite and productive. They think it is an extra burden. The officers should recognize that these institutions
are very important for the life of the citizens in the future.
There should be coordination between officials and non-official representatives and both should work in coordination. If this
harmony is not there, then there is a hindrance in the work of these institutions. Self. The commission constituted under the
chairmanship of Mr. Savdak Ali has emphasized this point in its report.
7. Changes in the tax system - Adequate income to the local self-government institutions from the current tax system
It doesn't happen. It is necessary to have decentralization in the system of taxes and to make available a wider area for taxation
to the institutions of local self-government. Self-governing institutions feel hesitant in levying taxes. This hesitation needs to be
removed.
8. Red-tapism - At present, red-tapism is rampant in the administrative system. The State Government's Department of Self-
Government also has no special interest towards these institutions. There should be co-ordination which will reduce red tape.
9. Civic sense - Citizens need to be made aware of the institutions of self-governance. There is apathy among the citizens
towards these institutions. Indifference is also visible in paying taxes. For years the tax remains with the taxpayers.
10. Improvement in financial condition - It is necessary to improve the financial support of the institutions of autonomous
11. Improvement in the economic condition of the municipal employees - The salary of most of the municipal employees
is not enough to lead their life. This salary is very less than that of night workers. It affects the functioning of local self-
government. Some of the deserving people who go elsewhere will also start joining the service of these institutions after getting
respectable salaries.

12. Eradication of corruption - Corruption prevails in all spheres of administration and society, due to which huge amount of
public money is wasted every year. To stop this, it is necessary to eradicate corruption. There are two ways-
i. People working in the administrative field should understand their responsibilities very well. II.
Public should be given training to oppose corruption. The administrative machinery should take such measures so that corruption
can be controlled. Corruption in the institutions of self-government needs to be controlled as it affects the life of the citizens. When

The qualifications for appointment and the conditions of service of the employees of the institutions of self-government are not

The origin of the word bag is from the French word bozte, buge or buje, which means a leather bag.
The word was first spoken in the Parliament of England in 1733 as a sarcasm, which is currently

1. Purpose of Accountability - In any democratic country, the government should be responsible for its
accountability towards the public. Because the public has the right to know how the public money is being
utilised. This gives information whether the clearances are being followed or not. This objective can be met
2. Economic control - In the absence of budget, various ministries and departments start doing their arbitrary.
Because of which public funds (money) are not used properly. Through the budget, the Parliament formulates
policy keeping proper control regarding the receipt and use of these public funds.
3. Fiscal Instruments - Let us tell you that instead of the details of income and expenditure for the budget, there
is such a tool in the hands of the government which ensures the economic and social progress of the country.
Under the budget, the government achieves the necessary goals related to economic development, full
employment and social justice through taxation expenditure and debt policy.

A budget, according to Remo Storm, is a document in which preliminary plans for public revenue and expenditure are presented.
In a way, the budget is a comparative system in which one arranges for the arrival of more money and on the other hand, the
expenditure of different funds is estimated. Not seeing the meaning of the budget in a limited way, the government should take care
of the future while arranging it in the present with the background of history.

5. Parliamentary Procedure
According to the Indian Constitution, public money cannot be spent in the absence of statutory approval and
new taxes cannot be imposed. The budget is presented in the Parliament on this basis. The budget takes
several decisions till it is presented in the Parliament. The budget is presented in the Parliament in the month
of April. The time for which the Parliament considers the budget is called the budget period of the Parliament.
Authorizes the Finance Minister to present the President's Budget in the first week of February. Parliament
procedure is as follows -
(a) Normal debate: A date is fixed after one week instead of the day of presentation of the budget in the
Parliament. The general debate takes place only on the basic principles and policies of the budget on a given
date. The objections of public opinion are also presented in this decision. Normally the time of dispute is fixed
for two or three days. This debate takes place in both the Houses of the Parliament.
(b) Voting procedure: After the general debate, the demands related to the expenditure of each department
are considered in the Lok Sabha. Members of Parliament are given sufficient time for this. Voting is done after
the debate is over. Voting is started even if the debate is not over by the specified time.
Demands approved in the voting process are called "grants". The Lok Sabha can reduce or modify the
demands of any department, but cannot increase them. A reduction in demand is called a "reduction effect".
(c) Appropriation Bill: According to the Indian Constitution, the department can get the money only
after the approval of the Appropriation Bill approved by the Parliament. Later, an Appropriation Bill is presented
in the Lok Sabha to spend the required funds on the Permanent Court. In relation to this bill also, the
procedure related to general legislators is followed. But at the time of the Appropriation Bill, there is no debate
on the financial demands because the House has already approved them. After the Appropriation Bill is

any bill for more than 14 days. The Finance Bill is deemed to have been approved by the Rajya Sabha after 14
days. The Raj Sabha does not have the right to reject the Finance Bill, but it can debate or submit suggestions
within the stipulated time. The Lok Sabha is not bound to accept these suggestions. In Raj Sabha, the Raj
(e) Finance Bill : If the Appropriation Bill allows administrative departments to spend money or receive
money from the treasury, the Finance Bill details the means of collecting money. The Finance Minister
introduces this bill in the Parliament. This bill is introduced in the same way as ordinary bills. Even the Raj Sabha
cannot stop this bill for more than 14 days. After the bill is approved by both the Houses and the President, the
administrative departments get the right to levy taxes and use the means by which revenue is collected.
(f) Signature of the President: In the federal or presidential system, the President receives financial powers
in a broad way, but in the parliamentary system, these powers of the President are a formal authority.
Theoretically, the President gets the right to accept or reject the bill, but in practical terms, the President often
gives his approval. The budget is formed when the appropriation and finance bills are passed and the assent of

conclusion
Financial administration provides an important basis for the development of any country. An important tool of financial
administration is budget formulation and budget implementation. The work of budget making is given in the hands of the people's
representative, so that the interests of the people are taken care of in the collection of revenue and its use. In financial
administration, an important role is played by the Ministry of Finance in the budget making process. Along with budget formulation
and implementation, effective control over the budget is also necessary, for which the Controller General of Accounts and the

Question 9 – What is social welfare? Explain the different approaches to social welfare.
Answer - Introduction
Social welfare refers to the services that are provided to individuals, groups or communities that have
been left behind by development and strive to bring them into the mainstream of society. Therefore, the
service provided for the development and welfare of those who are physically, mentally, socially or
economically handicapped and are relatively isolated from other sections of the society due to their
social work and Social welfare is interlinked. Social work is the process by which the work of
social welfare is done. Ultimately, the social work profession is based on social welfare and both
can be considered as an organized effort to solve the problems of life in an industrial society.
“Giving necessary social support to meet the basic needs of the citizens is called social welfare.”

“The objective of social welfare is to provide service to such population of weaker sections who are
unable to avail social services provided by the society due to specific physical, mental, economic and
constraints or who have been mutually excluded from availing these services Is."
To make the social welfare administration even more clear, we can refer to the definitions of some
prominent scholars –
“Social welfare administration may be defined as contributing to and assisting in the furtherance of those
activities. Which is mandatory for doing direct service by any social organization.

services.”
1. Women 's Welfare: The Central and State Governments and Union Territories launched several programs
to improve the social and economic status of women and to maintain their continuity in the Women's Decade,
intensified their progress and dissemination efforts. Many state governments have taken up the centrally
supported Integrated Child Development Services for their implementation in their states, recognizing the
role of integrated delivery of early child services. These have an impact on the lives of babies and mothers,
the proof of which is the increase in the weight of the baby at the time of birth.

which finally led to the adoption of the National Policy for Children in 1974. In the formulation of the policy, children are
considered as the most important asset and their welfare and their concern is our responsibility. Under this policy, it is the
responsibility of the state to ensure complete physical, mental and social development of children and to provide adequate

unpaid female volunteer worker from the community. Her work is looked after by the head teacher/teacher. Some

World War General Assembly held in Vienna during 1982, expressing its concern towards the elderly. Between 1950 and 2025,
the number of people over the age of 80 will double in developing and developed countries. This calls for major policy revisions

According to the National Education Policy 1986, it was said to provide equal opportunities for education to all. The
medium of imparting education was made in vernacular and regional language. Education was divided into primary
education, upper primary education, secondary education, higher secondary education and higher education.
1. The educational rights and responsibilities of the Central and State Governments have not been fixed in
this education policy. In 1976, education was brought on the committee list by the Constitution Act, but it
did not ensure the educational rights and duties of the central and state governments. Often those schemes
are not implemented and get partial grant-in-aid. The result is that there is no system of education in the
whole country. In the field of finance, instead of cooperation, there is exploitation. In this education
2. policy, it has been talked about the promotion of public cooperation for the system of education. To achieve
this, an action plan has been presented to form parent committees in educational institutions and to obtain
public cooperation through this committee. The first 10 years core curriculum has not been implemented
till date . After the announcement of the National Education Policy 1968 AD, in 1975 the "National Council
3. of Educational Research and Training" prepared a 10-year basic curriculum. After that it presented its
second draft in 1988 and the third in 2000. Despite the emphasis on following the basic curriculum in the
National Education Policy 1986, each province has its own type of curriculum. The allegation of the Center
is that the Provincial Governments are acting arbitrarily and the allegation of the Provincial Governments is
that the Central Government is obstructing the preparation of syllabus according to the regional situation.
Two buildings of primary schools have been constructed under the Black Board scheme and the
furniture and materials sent for them are of very good quality. According to the Revised National Education
4. Policy and Action Plan 1992, so far only about 75 thousand primary schools have been given 40-40
thousand funds.

5. The white elephant of Nidoya Vidyalaya has become perfect. The Nodaya Vidyalayas were established with the hope that
deserving children from marginalized areas, marginalized classes and targeted castes would be admitted, they would be
given opportunities for their development and in the first place, despite such regulations Big hairy fair is also happening.
They are not being taken advantage of for which they were established.
6. Meanwhile, whatever vocational courses have been started at +2 in the forest provinces, they have failed. These courses
were introduced in many schools, they lacked resources and trained teachers and these courses were neither useful nor
useful in their own right. Dual policy has been adopted in relation to higher education. In this education policy, on the
7. one hand, it has been talked about the control of admission in higher education and on the other hand, it has been said to
make the opportunities of higher education accessible to all and for this, it has been said to establish open universities and
start correspondence courses. Due to this, deserving students are getting admission in most of the institutions of higher
education. 8. In this education policy, permission was given for caitation fees with the condition that these institutions will
give admission to a certain percentage of students selected by the government without caitation fees. In the name of equality of
educational opportunities, the politics of education has been done. Equality of educational opportunities in India means
9. to make compulsory and free primary education accessible to all the children of the country, to make secondary and higher
education as well as special education accessible to all according to their merit without making any distinction on any basis.
10. In this education policy, more emphasis has been laid on internal value rather than external evaluation. Weight institutions have
also implemented it where it has been misused. This has resulted in loss instead of profit. Giving grade in place of category
conclusion
The National Education Policy 1986 was such a policy which tried its best to implement successfully, but it would be wrong to say that
it was completely successful in its objective, this is why we are saying that if we talk about the present situation of India, the present

1. Political and Administrative Consequences - Right to Information has increased the productivity to a great
extent. Due to which there have been expectations of modernization in political and administrative work-culture.
There have been changes in the democratic processes. Informed voters have increased control and accountability
at the level of the legislature and the executive. Due to which these institutions have felt public pressure in bringing
changes in some policies and laws. The exchange of information at intergovernmental level among different
governments in a federal system has led to multiple political participation in the public policy process.
2. Economic and Social Consequences - Right to Information has furthered the concept of 'Open Government'.
Due to which more contribution is being made in 'open market' and 'open civilized society'. Government in various
fields such as research and development, standards in respect of economic units, strong environment of competition,
exchange of economic information etc. Ra's radical thinking and steps have strengthened the Indian economy.
Due to this law, signal planning and information protection, consumer responsibility and investor confidence
have increased. The difference between public service prices and commercial prices has narrowed somewhat. The
private economy has accelerated the process of fulfilling its social responsibility as an informed and aware society
3. Legal Consequences- Right to Information has ushered in the expectation of increasing legal inefficiency on
account of administrative discretion. Its impact has spread over the laws of different countries. In the context of
important programmes, the trend of regulation has increased in the laws. In the event of more information being
available, the number of petitions against the administration has increased. Efforts are also being made to revise
the civil service codes of conduct. With the advent of the Right to Information, quasi-judicial institutions like the
Information Commission have been used. This has raised the importance of information technology to a new height.

means protector or keeper. Together it means "protector of the people". The purpose of holding such a

of Justice" was appointed by the king to act as an overseer to oversee the functioning of an organized
government.
In India, the Lokpal is known as Lokpal or Lokayukta. The concept of a constitutional Lokwal was

redressal of public grievances, it was started in the year 1968 in the Lok Sabha, but it ended with the

Justice" has mentioned that unless we develop an institution like 'Ambus' in India and

any agency of the government is illegal, unjust or arbitrary, the existing rules or be contrary to and in violation of the established
procedure and to investigate those complaints in which there is a clear allegation of misconduct.
The first Administrative Reforms Commission was constituted in our country on 5th January, 1966 under the
chairmanship of Shri Morari Desai. In its 1966 interim report related to the "Problem of Return of Citizens' Greens", this
commission, considering the widespread outrage against the corruption prevailing in the system, inefficiency and insensitivity
of the administration towards the needs of the general public, has It was recommended that a legal institution called Lokwal in
the center and Lokayukta in the states should be established to investigate complaints alleging corruption and injustice arising
out of public grievances and malpractice system, but this recommendation was not accepted for a long time. Went. Now
acceptance has been done but its implementation has not yet taken concrete shape.
The Lokpal was first established in Orissa in the year 1970 where in 1995 the new Lokpal and Lokayukta Act was enacted.
Recently, the Odisha Legislative Assembly has passed the Odisha Lokayukta Bill 2014 incorporating very effective provisions.
In the year 1971, the institution of Lokayukta was established in Maharashtra, in 1973 in Rajasthan and thereafter in more
than 20 states. Apart from this, there was a public nuisance department in Rajasthan to take care of public nuisance, but the

The concept of Citizen's Charter is to establish trust between the service provider and its user. The above concept
first took concrete form in the year 1991 under the Congress Government of United Kingdom of John Mayer
and was implemented in the form of a national program with the common goal of continuously improving the quality
of public services to the people of the country. These services can be tailored to the needs and desires of the users.
The program was relaunched in 1998 by Tony Blair's Labor government under the name 'Services First'.
India has made remarkable progress in the field of economic development over the years. Along with this, the
substantial growth in the literacy rate has made Indian citizens highly aware of their rights. Citizens have become
more vocal and expect the administration to not only fulfill their demands but also anticipate them.
In this context, in the year 1996, a consensus was formed in the government with regard to effective and reactive
administration, in the meeting of chief ministers of various states and union territories held in New Delhi on May 24,
1997, under the chairmanship of the Prime Minister, for "effective and responsive government at the center and at
the state level" . Action Plan' was adopted. One of the major objectives of this conference was that the Central
and State Governments would prepare a Citizen's Charter, starting with the most populous areas (railway,
telecommunication, post, public distribution system). It was intended to include a time limit that the public would
reasonably expect, an opportunity for redressal of grievances, and a provision for an independent inquiry with the
The Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances initiated the work of coordination,
drafting and implementation of the Citizen's Charter in the Government of India. Charter preparation guidelines
and a list of 'Do's and Don'ts' were communicated to various government departments and organizations to enable
them to develop focused and effective charters. The Center and State Government agencies were advised to set up
a task force with user representatives, senior management and frontline staff to prepare the Charter.
The basic objective of the Citizen's Charter is to empower the citizens in the context of public service delivery .

Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances and Non-Government Consumer Coordination
Committee, New Delhi. The results were extremely encouraging considering the scale of this initiative in India.
The questionnaire has been circulated to all the departments and State Governments and Union Territories to
enable them to initiate their Citizen's Charter Local Level Assessment. Organizations have also been advised to
get external evaluation done by giving them the same priority as NGOs.
During the year 2002-2003, the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances appointed a
professional agency to prepare a standardized model for internal and external evaluation of the Citizen's Charter

bill types
To make the budget more effective, different formats of the budget are being used from time to time. The following is an
analysis of the different forms of budget used in India from time to time
1. Execution Bill
In India, the intergovernmental budget system was adopted, so that the necessary control over the budget is kept by the
Parliament. But in the 1950s, there was also a focus on efficiency in the budget. It was during this tenure that the use of
performance budgeting was introduced by the Hare Commission (1949) in America. This commission suggested the introduction
The main objective of the traditional budget in India was to control the government expenditure and to carry out
development works and not to develop at a faster pace. As a result this finance of traditional budget was unable to solve the
problems of independent India and achieve the goal of development. This is the reason why the need and importance of
'Performance Budget' was accepted in India and it is presented as a 'supplement' to the traditional budget.
Performance budget is the budget prepared on the basis of the results of the work. Performance budgeting is basically
based on 'goal-oriented' and 'objective-oriented' method in which the 'outcomes of work' are made the basis of evaluation

Went.
3. Program Bill
Program budgeting also originated in America. Program budgeting was introduced in 1965 by US President
Johnson. This budget was not implemented in America for a long time and in 1971 it was abandoned in
America. In the program budgeting system, plan program and budget are merged together. In this,
This budgeting system has characteristics of various earlier budgeting systems such as performance
budgeting, zero-based budgeting, and program budgeting. In this budget system, the central administration
has the right to determine the objectives of a program and the expenditure on it. Apart from this, this
budgeting system can also be understood in such a way that where the traditional budgeting is from bottom to
top, on the other hand, in the target based budgeting system, budgeting is from the center to the local
department. Thus, the central forest control has been made more effective in this budget.
5. Result Bill
In the result budget, the main attention is paid to the fact that how much money is spent on a program and
whether its result is commensurate with this expenditure or not. The outcome budget also serves as a
'benchmark' in the performance of the Ministries and Departments for further improvement in service delivery,
production process, evaluation of programs and results. This ensures that the development programs can be
made more effective through outcome budgeting and also get accurate information about the coverage of the

Answer -
Introduction - "Food security" means the assured supply of food items and the availability of food items
for the general public. Food security has always been a topic of discussion throughout history. In the World
Food Conference in 1974, the definition of 'Food Security' was given, in which the emphasis was on food
replacement.
Law To provide the right to food to every citizen of the country, the Parliament of India enacted a law in
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), food security is a state when all people
at all times have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their
dietary needs for an active and healthy life. related needs and food preferences can be predicted.
The right to food security is a principle established by international human rights law. It sets the
responsibility for respect, protection and provision of the right to food security for member states. The
general principle of food security includes four major dimensions namely – access, availability, industry
and sustainability. As a member of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International
Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, India has an obligation to eliminate hunger and ensure
The National Human Rights Commission in its interpretation said that the right to food is a fundamental
right of Indians. Along with this, in 2003, it was further clarified that 'the right to be free from the

The right to food is not included in the Indian Constitution, but various judgments of the Supreme Court have clarified
that the right to food under Right to Life (Section 21) is implicit in the right to dignity, employment etc. The states are enjoined
by the constitution to make such a policy that every citizen equally has the right to an adequate means of livelihood and to
make efforts to improve public health by raising the nutrition and standard of living of the citizens . Articles 39(a) and 47
According to Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948, every person has the right to liberty of life
and to the security of the body. The Right to Development Declaration of 1986 also made it clear that the night for
development would ensure that people have access to opportunities in terms of basic resources such as food, housing,
The right to food has been included as a human right in the interpretation of parts 3 and 4 of the constitution and in the
international declarations that India has ratified. Here it is necessary to mention the public interest litigation filed in 2001 by
DUCL (TV Union for Civil Liberties). In this the Government of India, the Food Corporation of India and all the State
Governments were made partners. It said that the right to food is a fundamental right (under section 21) but the central

The Government has notified the National Food Security Act, 2013, enacted by the Parliament on 10th September,
2013, with the objective of ensuring availability of good quality food grains at affordable prices to the people to lead a
dignified life. Providing them with food and nutritional security from a human life-cycle point of view while making them
available in quantity.
The Act provides for coverage of 75% of the rural population and 50% of the urban population to receive subsidized
food grains under the Targeted Social Distribution System (TVDS), thus covering almost two-thirds of the population. The
individual farmer is entitled to receive 5 kgs of foodgrains per month per farmer at subsidized prices of Rs.3/ 2/1 per kg of
rice/wheat/coarse cereals respectively. The existing Antyodaya Anna Yojana households, which include the specified
number of persons, will continue to receive 35 kg food grains per household per month.
The Act also lays special emphasis on nutritional support for women and children. Pregnant women and lactating
mothers are also entitled to receive maternity benefit of at least Rs.6000 in addition to food during pregnancy and 6
months after child birth. Children up to the age of 14 years are also entitled to receive food as per the prescribed
nutritional standards. In the event of non-replenishment of entitled food grains or meals, the beneficiaries will receive food
security allowance. The Act also provides for setting up of grievance redressal machinery at the district and state levels.
Separate provisions have also been made in this Act to ensure accountability and accountability.

2. Access –
Economic Access - It should be ensured that the price of food grains is not so high that the individual or the family
cannot consume the quantity and nutritional value according to their needs. It is natural that food security should be
provided through social security schemes to the targeted and deprived sections of the society.
Physical access – It means that adequate quantity of food grains should be available within the reach of every
person. In this regard, it is necessary to facilitate access for physically-psychologically challenged and forest-
dependent people.
India has registered a below average and unsustainable growth in poverty rate since the mid-1960s. Despite this,
according to the latest announcement of the government, only 26 percent of the country's population is below the
poverty line; However, this figure has been challenged at several levels. It is clear from this that even after the
production has increased four times in the country, the question of people's bread remains the same. We are still not
Naturally, the observed experience suggests that the growth of food production is not directly related to the
condition of food security of the society and it has to be accepted that the share of non-food grains in the increase
in the country's production is very high. Has increased at a faster pace like- oil, sugar, milk, meat, grains,
vegetables and fruits. These giants now hold 60 per cent of the total consumption share of the people.

Dimension of e-Guinness
There are 4 types of E-Governance and all four have different systems and functions, under which it works, a complete
system has been created in it, which helps in achieving the objective. Some of its types are as follows:
1. G2G (Government to Government): G 2 G means government to government, when the exchange of information and
services takes place within the confines of a government, it is called G 2 G interaction. Works between local government

E-governance services are gaining momentum in India, but there is a need to increase public awareness
and reduce digital divide. The success of e-governance initiatives largely depends on the availability of
high-speed internet, and in the near future 5 Nationwide spread of G-tech will strengthen our resolve.
