Public system management in India has undergone significant reforms since independence, particularly after the economic liberalization of 1991. These reforms have been driven by the need to improve efficiency, transparency, accountability, citizen-centric governance, and effective service delivery. The traditional bureaucratic model, characterized by rigid procedures and centralized decision-making, has gradually evolved into a more performance-oriented and participatory system. Public system management reforms have aimed at restructuring institutions, modernizing administrative processes, introducing technology, promoting decentralization, and strengthening accountability mechanisms. One of the most significant reforms has been the adoption of the principles of New Public Management (NPM). NPM emphasizes efficiency, performance measurement, customer orientation, decentralization, managerial autonomy, and competition. Although India has not adopted NPM in its pure form, many of its principles have been incorporated into governance reforms. Ministries and departments have increasingly focused on outcomes rather than merely following procedures. Performance indicators, service standards, and citizen feedback mechanisms have become integral to administrative functioning. Administrative reforms have been guided by the recommendations of various Administrative Reforms Commissions. The First Administrative Reforms Commission (1966) recommended strengthening personnel administration, financial management, district administration, and public sector management. The Second Administrative Reforms Commission (2005–2009) proposed reforms in ethics, local governance, crisis management, e-governance, public order, financial management, and citizen-centric administration. Many recommendations have influenced government policies, including greater transparency, simplified procedures, and improved accountability. The Right to Information Act, 2005, marked a revolutionary reform in public system management. It empowered citizens to obtain information from public authorities, thereby enhancing transparency and reducing secrecy in administration. The Act has improved public scrutiny of government decisions, promoted accountability among public officials, and strengthened democratic governance. Despite implementation challenges such as delays in information delivery and backlog of appeals, RTI has significantly transformed citizen-government relations. E-governance has emerged as one of the most impactful public management reforms. Digital platforms have simplified service delivery, reduced paperwork, minimized corruption, and improved administrative efficiency. Initiatives such as Digital India, e-Office, Government e-Marketplace (GeM), DigiLocker, UMANG, Aadhaar-enabled services, Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), and online grievance redressal systems have modernized governance. Digital technologies have facilitated faster decision-making, real-time monitoring, online payments, electronic procurement, and better coordination among government departments. The Direct Benefit Transfer system has fundamentally changed welfare administration by transferring subsidies and benefits directly into beneficiaries' bank accounts. Supported by the JAM Trinity—Jan Dhan accounts, Aadhaar, and Mobile connectivity—DBT has reduced leakages, eliminated ghost beneficiaries, and improved targeting of welfare schemes. It has enhanced efficiency in the implementation of schemes such as LPG subsidy, MGNREGA wages, pensions, scholarships, and various social security programmes. Financial management reforms have aimed to improve
