Development Administration: Development administration: is the administration of development programs to the methods used by large scale organizations; notably government, to implement policies and plans designed to meet developmental objectives.
On the other way, Development administrations as a concern with create maintenance and strengthening of the organization and administration.
  The term “development administration” came first into use in the1950s to represent those aspects of public administration and those changes in public administration, which are needed to carry out policies, projects, and programs to improve social and economic conditions.
During a period of15 years following the end of World War II, in1945, colony after colony threw off the imperial yoke.
Country after country achieved independence and political autonomy.
This new status gave promise of freedom and liberty and self-determination in political systems of representative democracy.
It gave hope of greater individual freedom and equality of treatment in the society.
And independence created hopes of higher national and per capita income, a rapid rise in standards of living, and an increase in individual opportunity.
Even in countries which had not been colonies but had been administered by some other form of authoritarian government, this was a generation of rising and insistent expectations pressing for rapid political, social, and economic change.
New governments and their bureaucracies, their administrative agencies and processes, were expected to give reality to these anticipated fruits of independence and liberty.
These new functions, these demands upon the administration system, were not only enormous in size and weight; they were novel and complex in character.
