Academic Objective

PADC104 examines the structural and functional dynamics of public administration in India, with a focus on parliamentary oversight, administrative reforms, and decentralization. This resource ensures students master core concepts—such as the role of the Public Accounts Committee in fiscal accountability—while aligning with YCMOU’s Self-Instructional Material (SIM) guidelines for B.A. Public Administration Studies.

Key Syllabus Modules Covered

The resource aligns with YCMOU’s 2026-27 syllabus and includes critical topics from:

• Unit 1: Evolution and Nature of Public Administration – Comparative analysis of formal and informal structures in Indian governance.
• Unit 3: Parliamentary Committees – Detailed breakdown of India’s 12 major parliamentary committees, including their jurisdiction and recent reports (e.g., Committee on Public Undertakings).

• Unit 7: Decentralization and Local Governance – Analysis of 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments with YCMOU-specific examples.

Continuous Assessment (CA) and TEE Utility

• For Study Centres (अभ्यास केंद्र): Present model answers to faculty for PRN verification and feedback.
