The study of Public Administration in India is quite different from the Western approach. It depends upon the interrelationship of the different stakeholders of our Democracy and so the research techniques adopted should be contextual and real-time rather than theoretical. There is a lack of scholars engaged in active research in this discipline and also a gap in understanding the essence of the subject. The research methods are highly dynamic and varied but the researchers suffer from lack of institutional support and this hampers the growth of the subject. Survey research methods are most acceptable but after avoiding extraneous influences. There is a scope of inter-disciplinary research in this field which will widen the scope of understanding. New research techniques based on modern technology are emerging which are capable of handling the present complex scenario. So the need of the hour is to restructure the course based on our fundamental understanding of the knowledge so that it could be applied in real-life situations.
