Abstract :
Political scientists and administrative thinkers are unanimously agreed on the fact that extensive public participation in politics and administration is essential. Citizen participation may be used both for support by an agency and as a control device by the law makers. Participation has both a broad and a narrow connotation. In a broad sense, it implies giving every citizen an opportunity to actively participate in administrative work. In a narrow sense, participation would refer to a specific action by which the citizen registers his involvement in public affairs to achieve a particular objective. Citizens' participation in administration may be in many ways: that is, participation in policy formulation and programme planning, implementation of policies and programmes, and involvement in the processes of administration. Citizen participation demands certain preconditions, that is, enlightened political leaders, integrity and honesty of civil servants and well-informed and cooperative general public.
