The word public administration is the combination of two words—public and administration. In every sphere of social, economic and political life there is administration which means that for the proper functioning of the organisation or institution it must be properly ruled or managed and from this concept emerges the idea of administration.

Naturally administration implies to bring an institution under proper and fruitful management. So administration may mean a fruitful management. The word fruitful means every work is done with a definite purpose. Public administration means that type of administration (or management) which is especially related with the public and public means all men living in a definite area.
