Development Administration (DA) is one of the newest branches of Public Administration, having its inception after the post 2nd world war period when most of the countries in the world became independent. DA is the mechanism through which countries achieve socio- economic progress and usher in development. The essence of DA lies in the capacity to bring about a structural and behavioural change in administration, to improve the capacity of institutions by embracing change orientation. Development administration is the means through which governments bring about a perceptible change in the economy of a country.

Development is integral to the aims and activities of the government especially in the developing countries. Because of paucity of resources, human and material in their counties, the need for making optimum utilisation of available means and augmenting new means assumes a great importance. Development administration thus becomes a means through which the government brings quantitative and qualitative changes in an economy. Government is engaged in not only fixing priorities but also making efforts to realise them. Hence, we can say that development administration is an effort towards planned transformation of the economy involving not only the sphere of administration but also formulation of policies and indeed the society as a whole. It is an effort at the synchronisation of changes in all spheres of development-economic, political, social and cultural. Thus development is not only viewed in terms of growth process, but it includes a process of social change.

It concentrates on the needs and desires of the people and concerned with formulation of plans, programmes, policies and projects and their implementation. It plays a central role in carrying out planned change i.e. it is concerned with planning, co-ordination, control, monitoring and evaluation of plans and programmes. It is not only concerned with the application of policies as determined by the political representatives in existing situation but also with introducing efforts to modify existing situations so as to serve the cause of the masses.
