What is public administration of India?

The public administration system in India is structured hierarchically, with the President at the apex followed by the Parliament, the Prime Minister, the Council of Ministers, and various central ministries and departments. At the state level, there are governors, state legislatures, chief ministers, and state government departments. Local governance is carried out through municipalities, panchayats, and other local bodies.

India's public administration is influenced by principles of bureaucracy, with a strong emphasis on hierarchy, rules, and procedures. The civil services play a crucial role in the functioning of public administration, with the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) being the premier administrative service at both the central and state levels.

Over the years, efforts have been made to reform and modernize India's public administration to improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability. This includes initiatives such as e-governance, decentralization of power to local bodies, and administrative reforms aimed at reducing bureaucratic red tape and corruption.

Overall, public administration in India plays a vital role in governance, policy implementation, and service delivery, and it continues to evolve in response to the country's changing socio-economic and political landscape.
