Synopsis Public Administration refers to the activity of a governmental unit in carrying out the public policy declared in the laws. It is also a field of professional study through which preparation for public managerial positions is secured. According to Dr. White "the Public administration consists of all those operations having for their purpose the fulfillment or enforcement of public policy as declared by the competent authority."
