Abstract

Nations all over the world are looking for Progress and all round development. Whether it is democratic or authoritarian form of government, every nation or society is looking to achieve the desired goal. The same goal can be achieved by making effective public policies. Public policy and goals are recognised as the two sides of the same coin. Policy making is a dynamic process. Public policy making is an indispensable ingredient of political process and bureaucracy. The word bureaucracy is one of the most frequently, used by many authors in modern writing about organization. This is because the public bureaucracies are entrusted with public property and they are charged with responsibilities of specific method of allocating resources within a large organization. A synonym for this sense might be bureaucratic decision making. But the role of bureaucracy has evoked mounting criticism, and top level bureaucrats have faced unusually serious challenges to their authority. The present study is an attempt to find out the role of bureaucracy in policy making in developing countries.
