The concept of Development Administration is a development of the post 1945 era. Following reasons are responsible for the emergence of this concept -
Reasons:
1. Emergence of newly independent developing countries.
2. Development schemes in the developing countries.
3. Establishment of comparative administration group in 1960
1. Emergence of newly independent developing countries:-
The traditional concept of public Administration as ‘law and order machinery or revenue administration underwent transformation with the emergence of the ‘Welfare state’ during the 20th century. Also it was response to the emergence of the ‘Newly Independent states’ in Asia and Africa, These countries have problems of poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, malnutrition etc. In these countries, the government and its administrative machinery are looked upon as agents of change. The necessities have made the administration in developing countries development - oriented.
2. Development schemes in the developing countries:-
These developments have had a profound impact on the public administration. The concern with administration for development has compelled attempts to formulate a system of thought capable of integrating complex socio-economic and political systems hitherto considered to be outside the area of public administration. Further, most developing countries have realized that national development is essentially an integrated process of change. It is a dynamic process directed towards transforming the entire society, enmeshing its economic, social, political and administrative aspects, for an all-round, balanced change.
3. Establishment of comparative Administration group in 1960-
D. Waldo, Fred Riggs, Weidner were talk of New Public Administration. These scholars in 1968, in Minnibook conference, attempted to define public Administration anew. They focused on the concept of development administration, in different ecological settings, operates in order to achieve a set of social goals.
