The document outlines the evolution of public administration in India from 1887 to 1971. It describes key periods including a dichotomy between politics and administration under British rule until 1926. From 1927-1937, principles of administration were established with independence as the goal and agreements like the Poona Pact. From 1938-1947, human relations and behavioral approaches emerged during challenges like the Quit India movement. From 1948-1970, a new human relations approach developed along with the Non-Aligned Movement and socialism as India developed. After 1971, a public policy perspective emerged focused on reducing poverty.
