INDUCTION MATERIAL GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF FINANCE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC AFFAIRS 2013 (Eleventh Edition: 11th September, 2013) Preface to the 11th Edition The Department of Pension and Administrative Reforms had issued instructions in 1978 that each Ministry/Department should prepare an Induction Material setting out the aims and objects of the Department, detailed functions of the various divisions and their inter-relationship which would be useful for the officers of the Ministry/Department particularly the new entrants. In pursuance to this, Department of Economic Affairs has been bringing out ‘Induction Material’ since 1981. The present Edition is Eleventh in the series. 2. Department of Economic Affairs is the nodal agency of the Government of India for formulation of economic policies and programmes. In the present day context of global economic slowdown, the role of the Department of Economic Affairs has assumed a special significance. An attempt has been made to delineate the activities of the Department in a manner that would help the reader accurately appreciate its role. 3. The Induction Material sets out to unfold the working of the Department up to the level of the Primary Functional Units, i.e. Sections. All members of the team should find it useful to identify those concerned with any particular item of work right upto the level of Section Officer. The other Ministries and Departments will also find it useful in identifying the division or the officer to whom the papers are to be addressed. 4. I hope that all users will find this edition of Induction Material a handy and useful guide to the functioning of the Department of Economic Affairs. Any suggestions from any corner for further improvement will be welcomed.
