A. OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE

The modern state governs in the traditional sense, that is, it maintains law and order, adjudicates upon
disputes and regulates economic and social life of individuals and groups in the state. At the same time
it is also the provider of essential services. In the event of need occasioned by unforeseen hazards of
life in a complex society, it engages itself in giving relief and helps the citizenry towards self-reliance.
The assumption of unprecedented responsibilities by the state has necessitated devolution on authority
of numerous state functionaries. The number of functionaries in carrying out these tasks has ever been
on the increase due to proliferation of human needs in an age of science and technology. The aggregate
of such functionaries is an essential component of modern administration. Administrative law must,
therefore, lay emphasis on understanding the structure and modus operandi of administration. lt must
take note of developmental perspectives and attainment of social welfare objectives through
bureaucratic process. lt should go into matters, which facilitate or hinder the attainment of these
objectives.
