The four public lectures published in this volume were delivered by Dr. Appleby, during his fourth visit to India, this time as a Visiting Professor at the Indian School of Public Administration from December 19, 1961.
In these lectures Dr. Appleby gives an illuminating and thought provoking analysis of some of the contemporary basic administrative issues in a Welfare State. As in his previous writings, they reveal a deep insight into the realities of administrative life in the broader context of its political and social setting. His approach is pragmatic; and the basic theme is the development of human competence and responsiveness within the individual citizen, the administrator, the politician, the different sectors of the society and the society as a whole.
