  • Operationalisation of Administrative Reforms : a Case Study of Jammu and Kashmir
    OPERATIONALISATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE REFORMS : A CASE STUDY OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF IN . r POLITICAL SCIENCE By SOFORA AJAZ > ^' .^' ^ Under the Supervision of Prof. MIRZA ASMER BEG DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIAj 2004 7/r<Z^^;^A r • I J '-" ABSTRACT The broad outline of this thesis can be said to be based on the developments made in the Indian administration in general and the administration of the state of Jammu and Kashmir in particular. Although both have varied patterns in their levels of governance but the basic concept of governance remains the same. In the present work VI chapters form the basis of a study of framework of administrative reforms with special reference to Jammu and Kashmir. Chapter f deals with the concept of the administration and its importance in the development of socio-economic and political aspects. By way of comparative analysis of the ways of governance facts are to be checked with other systems. The basic aim of better governance is the main motto of every form of administration but the ways to reach the goal are varied. Administrative thinkers working on this field have brought out a lot of change through their research. Reform initiatives established by way of Administrative Reform Commission since 1965 and the reforms established during the pre-independence period bring to light the present form of governance and its historical background. Need of the administrative reforms in the present context demands that instead of setting up of committees and commissions for recommendations which are not being implemented on the practical grounds because of delays created by way of political and administrative misconception, action should be taken.
