Efforts have been made to reform and restructure administration in India with a view to revamp the machinery and to removing the age old cobwebs. Now the emphasis is on a new style of administration which is very close to management concepts and techniques. The 18 well-researched articles in this volume take stock of the recent administrative changes in India with special reference to administrative reforms, administrative accountability, training, local government, human rights and the problems of law and order administration. The contributors are all specialists in their own field including some civil servants well-known in their expertise in analyzing the administrative problems and processes. The volume is likely to be useful for the students, teachers, and the practitioners who want to learn about the contemporary issues and problems of Indian administrative system.
