Discussion : Case Studies for Public Administration

Comparative Public Administration - Smart cities in collaboration with different countries for energy, sewage, water, IT
New Public Administration [Relevance, Value, Equity, Change, Client Focus] - Replacing Planning Commission with NITI Ayog to make it more :
Relevant : Realizing the changing scenario due to LPG
Change Oriented : Instead of old planning methodology, bring new ideas.
Client Focussed : Designing schemes with focus on ground realities which are different for different states.


Management Information Systems (MIS) for regular and real time online monitoring of progress in respect of skill development and enhancing livelihood opportunities for urban poor under Deeendayal Antyodaya
Yojana (DAY). 

MIS enables stakeholders like Training Providers, Certification Agencies, Banks, Resource Orgnisations etc., to feed required information directly which can be accessed by urban local bodies, states and Ministry of HUPA for monitoring and other purposes.

The above example can be applied in new techniques of administration, Policy monitoring and evaluation, citizen and administration, better coordination techniques and last but not the least to make administration efficient and effective as a whole. 



A study by IIPA pointed out that Women Panchayat's are more likely to focus on soft issues like education, health, sanitation, behaviour change etc. While Men Panchayat's go for infrastructure related developments.

This brings out the fact that in an organisation there is always gender around (a statement of Gouldner on this topic was asked last year in mains). Thus organisations need to be designed while keeping gender in perspective. 

We can also relate it with Feminist perspective of development administration and also to how we might need different motivators in a scenario in which women participation is increasing drastically in all organisations.

Once we know what drives women/men we can use our human resources efficiently.
