Answers
Explanation:
1.COLONIAL LEGACY-
Indian Administration has a long historical background.
“The Indian Administrative system as it exists today is a product of two different sets of influences; the British colonial administrative traditions and the ideals of a democratic welfare state which was constitutionally adopted in India after independence.
The Indian administrative system has been affected by the British system in many ways. Even today the units of administration remain unchanged like division, district, sub-division, and Tehsil. An administrator had the right to look after all these administrative units from division to tehsil, and these officers respectively were called ‘Commissioner’, Collector(IAS), Sub-Divisional Officer(SDO) and Tehsildar.
2. INCREASING POWERS-
Over the years there has been enormous growth in the powers, functions and influence of the civil services (Administration). With the assumption of new functions and responsibility by the government since independence, the importance of the administration has grown.
