ABSTRACT:
The District Administration is the management of public affairs within a territory marked off for that purpose. Moreover, District Administration is that portion of public administration which functions within the territorial limits of a district. There are six approaches such as Fesler’s four approaches, the global approach and the Indian approach existing in the field of decentralization or district administration. The term “decentralization” implies not only the devolution of powers, but also a process in which responsibilities and duties are transferred by a higher or central authority to the institutions or organizations at the lower levels, thereby providing to the latter adequate incentive for autonomous functioning for the development of its particular local district people in India. There are many developmental benefits for the people because of the functioning of district administration in their respective local district level in India.
