Policy Making in Government - Selected Readings

Published by the Government of India’s Publications Division, Policy Making in Government is a substantial collection of readings examining the concepts, processes and practical challenges involved in public-policy formulation and administration.

Prepared at a time when policy science was still emerging as a distinct field in India, the volume was intended to address the shortage of management and policy literature written specifically for the governmental context. Its selections consider how modern management principles and analytical methods can be applied to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of public administration.

The readings cover policy theory and decision-making as well as economic and monetary policy, energy, land and water, food and agriculture, science and technology, transportation, social services, development planning and public-sector administration. This 716-page government publication is a valuable period reference for scholars of Indian governance, public administration, development policy and administrative history.
