PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
Since Independence, Government has placed more emphasis on the creation of a Welfare State. In keeping with this goal, a number of services for the convenience
and welfare of the public are undertaken by the Government and local bodies. This necessitates the employment of large number of persons in the administrative services for the effective implementation of such a policy.
Table number 3 shows the number of persons engaged in public administration in the two Census years viz., 1921 and 1931.
