The major areas of national concern that this compendium of fifteen essays exhaustively deals with are: the Indian Political System, the Indian Economy, Governance, Work Culture, Corruption, Education (General, Medical and Distance Education), Public Management, Corporate Social Responsibility and Water Management. While some of the authors have treated their subjects in their theoretical perspective, the others have delved deep into them empirically, studying them in all their different dimensions, analyzing the problems that afflict them and suggestion solution thereof. The book will hopefully receive the attention of both the lay reading public and serious students and researchers.
