group goals. It is an art of removing blocks to such performance, a way of
optimizing efficiency in reaching goals”.
Mooney and Railey: “Management is the art of directing and inspiring people”.
Lawrence A. Appleby “Management is the development of people and not the
direction of people. Management is personnel administration. Management is the

objectives, managing resources, deploying the human and financial assets needed
to achieve objectives, and measuring results.
Management also includes recording and storing facts and information for later
use or for others within the organization.
Management functions are not limited to managers and supervisors.
Every member of the organization has some management and reporting functions
as part of their job.

POSDCORB:
POSDCORB is an acronym widely used in the field of Management and Public
Administration.
It reflects the classic view of administrative management.
It is drawn from the work of French industrialist Henri Fayol.
But it first appeared in a 1937 staff paper by Luther Gulick and Lyndall
Urwick written for the Brownlow Committee.
In 1937, social scientists Luther Gulick and L. Urwick describe seven
"major activities and duties of any chief executive in Papers on the Science of
Administration".
The acronym POSDCORB is used to describe the 7 functions of managers:
Planning, Organizing, Staffing, Directing, Co-Ordinating, Reporting
and Budgeting.
It is designed to call attention to the various functional elements of the work of a
chief executive.
In his 1987 piece "Deja Vu: French Antecedents of American Public
Administration," Daniel Martin notes that virtually all of the principles in
www.Padasalai.Net
American Public Administration, including the POSDCORB principles, were
present in the French literature
Elements of POSDCORB by Gulick:
Planning, that is working out in broad outline the things that need to be done and
the methods for doing them to accomplish the purpose set for the enterprise;
Organizing, that is the establishment of the formal structure of authority through
which work subdivisions are arranged, defined, and coordinated for the defined
objective of the organization;
Staffing, that is the whole personnel function of bringing in and training the staff
and maintaining favorable conditions of work;
Directing, that is the continuous task of making decisions and embodying them in
specific and general orders and instructions and serving as the leader of the
enterprise;
Co-ordinating, that is the all important duty of interrelating the various parts of
the work;
Reporting, that is keeping those to whom the executive is responsible informed as
to what is going on, which thus includes keeping himself and his subordinates
informed through records, research, and inspection;
Budgeting, with all that goes with budgeting in the form of planning, accounting
and control.
Influence from French Administration Theory:
Gulick states that his statement of the work of a chief executive is adapted from
the functional analysis elaborated by Henri Fayol in his "Industrial and General
Administration".
Fayol's work includes fourteen principles and five elements of management that
lay the foundations of Gulick's POSDCORB tasks of an executive.
Fayol's Fourteen Principles of Management:
1) Division of Work
2) Authority and Responsibility
3) Discipline
4) Unity of Command
5) Unity of Direction
6) Subordination of Individual Interest to General Interest
7) Remuneration of Personnel
8) Centralization
www.Padasalai.Net
9) Scalar Chain (line of authority with peer level communication)
10) Order
11) Equity
12) Stability of Tenure of Personnel
13) Initiative
14) Esprit de Corps
Fayol's Five Elements of Management:
1) Planning - examining the future and drawing up plans of actions
2) Organizing - building up the structure (labor and material) of the undertaking
3) Command - maintaining activity among the personnel.
4) Co-ordination - unifying and harmonizing activities and efforts
5) Control - seeing that everything occurs in conformity with policies and practices
Place in Management and Public Administration:
POSDCORB generally fits into the Classical Management movement.
It is classified as an element of scientific management, which was popular in the
late 19th and early 20th century.
Gulick's POSDCORB principles were instrumental in highlighting the theory of
span of control, or limits on the number of people one manager could supervise, as
well as unity of command to the fields of management and public administration.

www.Padasalai.Net www.TrbTnpsc.com
Advantages of POSDCORB:
It helps to analyze management functions and activities in a structural way.
It helps to structure and analyze management activities.
Limitations of POSDCORB:
Mark Moore believes that POSDCORB is too inward looking.
In his view, the most important job of a manager is, understanding and shaping
the environment of the organization, primarily, but not solely, by means of the
services it delivers to its customers and clients.
According to Dr. Lewis Meriam, the most important thing that has been omitted in
the fascinating word POSDCORB is Knowledge of a subject matter.
It does not pay any attention to what managers should achieve.
Functions of Management:
Management is an activity which uses the functions of Planning, Organizing,
Staffing, Directing, Controlling / Coordinating and budgeting human and material
resources and budgeting for the purpose of achieving stated goals.
A slightly different list of functions is given by Gregg, which are seven in
number.
www.Padasalai.Net
1) planning
2) organizing
3) communicating
4) Influencing
5) Coordinating
6) decision making
7) Evaluation
Evaluating is a significant and integral component of the total process of
administration.
Theories of Management- X, Y, Z
Douglas McGregor- Theory X and Y:
Douglas McGregor was an American social psychologist.
He proposed his famous X-Y theory in his 1960 book 'The Human Side of
Enterprise'.
He developed a philosophical view of humankind with his Theory X and Theory
Y in 1960.
www.Padasalai.Net
and they will avoid it if they can.
It also assumes that people work only for money and security.
McGregor sees these two theories as two quite separate attitudes.
Theory Y is difficult to put into practice on the shop floor in large mass production
operations, but it can be used initially in the managing of managers and
professionals.
Theory Y is the opposite of theory X and states that some people, if they are
committed to the objectives, they will see work as natural and they will be self-
directing.
The manager's role with these people is to help them.
Theory X:
Basic Assumptions of Theory X:
The assumption is that employees dislike work and responsibility, and they must
be coerced to perform.
Human beings are lazy and they will avoid work, if possible.
People must be directed and motivated by fear of punishment to work as the
organization requires.
The average human beings prefer to be closely supervised and they wishes to
avoid responsibility.
They have relatively little ambition and seek security above all else.
Theory X (Authoritarian Style):
Theory X assumes that employees are naturally unmotivated and they dislike
working, and this encourages an authoritarian style of management.
According to this view, management must actively intervene to get things done.
This style of management assumes that workers dislike working.
They avoid responsibility and they need to be directed.
They have to be controlled, forced, and threatened to deliver what's needed.
They need to be supervised at every step, with control.
They need to be enticed to produce results; otherwise they have no ambition or
motivation to work.
X-Type organizations tend to be top heavy, with managers and supervisors
required at every step to control workers.
There is little delegation of authority and control remains centralized.
McGregor recognized that X-Type workers are in fact usually the minority, and
www.Padasalai.Net
yet in large scale production environment.
X Theory management may be required and it can be unavoidable.
McGregor believed that of the two, Theory X represented the more widely held
assumptions about people in organizations.
These assumptions guided not only in styles of supervision but such things as
organization structures, procedures, and programs in organizations as well.
Labeled as Negative Theory:
Students inherently dislike work (studies), and whenever possible, they will
attempt to avoid it.
Since students dislike the work, they must be corrected, controlled or threatened
with punishment to achieve goals.
Students will avoid responsibilities and seek formal direction whenever possible.
Most workers place security above all other factors associated with work and they
will display little ambition.
Theory Y:
Basic assumptions of Theory Y:
1) The assumption is that employees like work; they are creative.
2) They seek responsibility and they can exercise self-direction.
3) The drive for physical and mental effort involved in work is as natural and
rewarding as play, sleep and laughter.
4) External control and threat of punishment are old fashioned.
5) The nature of man is such that he exercises self direction and self control.
6) Commitment to objectives is a function of rewards and expectation of rewards.
7) The average human beings learn; they accept the right situation and seek
responsibility.
8) The intellectual potential of the average human being is only partly utilized.
www.Padasalai.Net
goals.
They seek and accept responsibility and do not need much direction.
They consider work as a natural part of life and solve work problems
imaginatively.
This management style tends to be more widely appropriate.
In Y-Type organizations, people at lower levels of the organization are involved in
decision making and have more responsibility.
Theory Y tended to be associated with more developmental and participative
supervisory styles.
McGregor further considered these assumptions about people to be “self
fulfilling” in the sense that they led to practice which would tend to produce the
very behaviors among those managed which would confirm either set of
assumptions.
Labeled as Positive Theory:
Students can review work or studies as being as natural.
People will exercise self direction and self control if they re-committed to the
objectives.
The average person can learn to accept, and they can seek responsibility.
www.Padasalai.Net
Comparison between Theory X and Theory Y:
Motivation:
Theory X assumes that people dislike work; they want to avoid it and they
do not want to take responsibility.
Theory Y assumes that people are self-motivated, and they thrive on
responsibility.
Management Style and Control:
In a Theory X organization, management is authoritarian and centralized
control is retained.
In Theory Y, the management style involves employees in decision making,
but it retains power to implement decisions.
Work Organization:
Theory X employees tend to have specialized and often repetitive work.
In Theory Y, the work tends to be organized around wider areas of skill or
knowledge; Employees are also encouraged to develop expertise and make
suggestions and improvements.
Rewards:
18 CONTACT : 9751111193, 9487253545
www.Padasalai.Net www.TrbTnpsc.com
www.Padasalai.Net
Theory Y supports and facilitates the workers.
A superficial viewer could come to the conclusion that Theory X is bad and ought
to be rejected.
In fact, Theory Y indicates only the potential of most people and need not
necessarily apply to all people.
Theory X and Theory Y reflect only attitudes.
Managerial behavior may shift from Theory X to Theory Y after helping the
workers „to grow up‟ in the developmental sense.
Theory Y for Educational System:
Managers of the educational system are well advised to have faith in Theory Y for
the following reasons.
1) Educational management should not treat education as an industry, which
aims at production of tangible goods.
2) Teacher should not be treated as „knowledge workers‟.
3) Their role today is to facilitate learning and serve to the society.
4) They should be treated as intrinsically motivated to work, need no strict
supervision and they are capable of self direction and self control.
Application:
www.Padasalai.Net
Theory X states that people have to be supervised.
As for Theory Y assumptions are that individuals like their careers and they are
willing to take part in responsibility.
Theory Y people don't need supervision and they can be expected to turn good
productive value in their jobs.
Theory Z (Japanese Management Style):
William G. Ouchi (born 1943) is an American professor and author in the field of
business management.
He first came to prominence for his studies of the differences between Japanese
and American companies and management styles.
His first book “Theory Z: How American Management Can Meet the Japanese
Challenge” in 1981 summarized his observations.
It shows hoe American corporations can meet the Japanese challenges with highly
effective management style.
His second book, “The Form Society: How American Teamwork Can Recapture
the Competitive Edge”, examined various techniques implementing that approach.
Theory Z essentially advocates a combination of all that‟s best about theory Y and
modern Japanese management.
It places a large amount of freedom and trusts with workers, and assumes that
workers have a strong loyalty and interest in team-working and the organization.
It also places more reliance on the attitude and responsibilities of the workers,
whereas McGregor‟s XY theory is mainly focused on management and motivation
from the manager's and organization‟s perspective.
It focused on increasing employee loyalty to the company by providing a job for
life.
Theory Z management tends to promote stable employment, high productivity and
high employee morale and satisfaction.
Theory Z was based on Dr. W. Edwards Deming‟s “14 points” of management
theory.
According to Theory Z, people tend to want to build happy and intimate working
relationships with the company.
Generalization:
McGregor’s Theory X (Authoritarian Management Style):
It produces strict and controlling supervision.
McGregor’s Theory Y (Participative Management Style):
www.Padasalai.Net
It is associated and participative supervision.
William Ouchi’s Theory Z (Japanese Management Style):
The managers must be more supportive and trusting of their employees, in
order to receive the benefit of increased participation in the decisions of the
company.

great deal of control.
Kinds of Management
Kinds of Management:
1) Management by Objectives(MBO)
2) Organizational behavior management (OBM)
3) Participative Management
4) Crisis Management
Management by Objectives (MBO):
Management is considered to be a science of organized knowledge.
Management science in any field explains the concept, theory, principles and
techniques, underlying the practice systematical.
M.B.O means management by objectives.
It is a joint formulation by a managers and his supervisor of a set of goals and
plans for achieving the goals for a forthcoming period.
It is also described as a performance appraisal plan in each subordinate set goal.
More, recently MBO is seen as a system of managing such activities as planning,
organizing, staffing, leading and controlling.
www.Padasalai.Net
The concept of management by objectives was first popularized by Peter Drucker
in 1954.
This concept was in contrast to the principle of management by drives which
advocated „drives‟ or „incentives‟ or even „pressures‟ to find a temporary solution
to meet immediate demands.
M.B.O is both a philosophy and approach to management.
It has its roots in McGregor‟s Y Theory which emphasizes an optimistic attitude
towards the behavior of subordinates.
Top management teams along with employees together define the company goals
and direction that the company is going.
3 Key components
1) Specific, achievable, measurable, realistic, time-specific
2) Goals are not unilateral within management
3) Managers give objective feedback
“Management by objectives works if you know the objectives. Ninety percent of
the time you don’t.” -Peter F. Drucker
It works well within the U.S. culture, but often fails in others due to different
styles in management.
It works well because all levels are involved in achieving the ultimate goal
Specific Objectives:
According to Drucker, management has specific objectives.
Marketing
Innovation
Production
Physical and financial resources
Profit
Performance of the workers
Public responsibility
Definition of M.B.O:
Peter Drucker defines “M.B.O resets on human action, human behavior and
human motivation. It ensures performance by converting objective needs into
personnel goals”.
www.Padasalai.Net
Identifying common goals
Defining each individual workers responsibility
Using these as guides for operating the unit and evaluating its performance along
with each workers contribution.
Steps in M.B.O:
There are five steps in MBO.
1) Determining organizational goals and criteria to determine achievements.
2) Determining agreed upon objectives, criteria and strategies for achieving
objectives for each subunit and each unit manager.
3) Making periodic reviews to evaluate progress made and making desired
changes.
4) Evaluating results after an agreed upon time period and reward the
accomplishments.
5) Recycling and restructuring the process on the basis of experience gained.
M.B.O Process:
The M.B.O Process involves the following factors
Commitment to the programme
Top level goal setting
Individual goal setting
Participation of field workers
Autonomy in implementation
Review of performance
Merits of M.B.O:
1. Emphasis on agreed upon objectives.
2. Better management of institutional resources.
3. Selection of key result areas.
4. Participation of teachers in decision making.
5. Formulation of long term plans.
6. Providing for a framework, and guidelines for planned change.
7. Enabling managements to initiate, plan, direct and control the direction and speed
of change.
www.Padasalai.Net
8. Career advancement depends upon performance by the teachers.
Limitations of M.B.O:
1. Setting of goals and objectives is difficult.
2. Educational system is managed by several agencies and to select agreed upon
goals and objectives may pose problems.
3. It requires committed teachers who are willing to be rewarded on the basis of
performance.
4. The success of M.B.O depends upon the cordial and good interpersonal relations
between the managers of the system and teachers.
5. A good executive should be willing to have men around him who have the
strength to give dissenting opinions.

was Western Michigan University.
The first teacher to teach the course was Dr. Dick Malott.
Another early program in OBM was initiated at the University of Notre Dame 1n
1975 with the arrival of Martin Wikoff, the first graduate student in the program.
Prior to attending Notre Dame, Wikoff, Bob Kohlenberg and Terrance Mitchell
conducted one of the first controlled studies of applied behavior analysis in
business; in this case, to improve Grocery Clerk performance.
That study was presented at the 1976 MABA Convention in Chicago and the
application to business was so novel, the research was assigned to the topic
category of "Experimental Living Arrangements" confirming its status as one of
the pioneering OBM documented applications.
The Wikoff-Crowell-Anderson Notre Dame OBM research team was born.
The works of Watson and Skinner have heavily influenced the field of OBM.
Skinner‟s applications of behavioral principles to instructional design served as a
starting point for the use of the science of behavior in the workplace.
Even before OBM was viewed as a field, Fredrick Taylor advocated for the use of
the scientific method to improve employee and organizational performance.
The Journal of Organizational Behavior Management (JOBM) began publication in
1977 and is the main outlet for the field today.
26 CONTACT : 9751111193, 9487253545
www.Padasalai.Net www.TrbTnpsc.com
By 1977 over 40 articles on OBM had been published in other journals and at least
one OBM consulting firm had been established.
Aubrey Daniels was the first editor of JOBM.
The journal is published by Haworth Press and is in its 32nd volume.
It has recently been ranked as having the third highest impact factor among
applied psychology journals according to the Journal Citation Reports published
by Thompson/ISI Publishers.
There are a number of graduate programs in OBM that have been established at
various universities.
Graduates of these programs work in the private sector as external consultant, as
internal consultants for organizations, or as program managers in the health and
human service industry.
Theoretical and Conceptual Background:
Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) is a sub-discipline of ABA, which
is the application of the science of behavior.
ABA emphasizes the use of operant and respondent procedures to produce
behavior change.
Behavior Analysis as a science has very explicit goals.
www.Padasalai.Net
Prediction and control of behavior, with an emphasis on control, are the objectives
of behavior analysis.
OBM has commonalities with the field of Industrial– Organizational Psychology,
all relating to the behavior of people in the workplace.
There are many differences between the two fields as well.
Industrial– Organizational Psychology is based on theory and has a focus on topics
such as personnel selection and placement.
OBM is guided by a single theory of human behavior and has historically
emphasized identification and modification of the environmental variables that
affect directly observable or verifiable employee performance.
Participative Management:
Participatory management is the practice of empowering members of a group,
such as employees of a company or citizens of a community, to participate in
organizational decision making.
It is used as an alternative to traditional vertical management structures, which
has shown to be less effective as participants are growing less interested in their
www.Padasalai.Net
may engage in.
Some examples are self-managed work teams, professional enrichment
opportunities, increasing levels of responsibility for employees.
One style of participatory management is creation of a workplace environment in
which information is shared readily with employees.
A participatory managed work environment provides ongoing training, skills
development, professional enrichment and mentoring to employees at all levels. .
Another form of participatory management includes a forum in which employees
are recognized regularly for their achievements and contributions.
Participatory management often features a teaching component in which
employees are guided on the fundamentals of the decision-making process.
It is a process involving those who are influenced by the management‟s decision,
in making decisions.
Participative management is not permissive.
It holds people responsible.
It does not have weakness.
It takes character to apply.
Crisis Management:
Crisis management is the application of strategies designed to help an organization
www.Padasalai.Net
deal with a sudden and significant negative event.
It is the process by which an organization deals with a major event that threatens
to harm the organization, its stakeholders, or the general public.
A crisis can occur as a result of an unpredictable event.
In either case, crises almost invariably require that decisions be made quickly to
limit damage to the organization.
For that reason, one of the first actions in crisis management planning is to
identify an individual to serve as crisis manager.
Other crisis management best practices include:
Planning in detail for responses to as many potential crises as possible.
Establishing monitoring systems and practices to detect early warning
signals of any foreseeable crisis.
Establishing and training a crisis management team or selecting an external
crisis management firm with a proven track record in your business area.
Involving as many stakeholders as possible in all planning and action
stages.
www.Padasalai.Net
roles and responsibilities and process related organizational requirements
company-wide.
The response shall include action in the following areas: Crisis prevention, crisis
assessment, crisis handling and crisis termination.
The aim of crisis management is to be well prepared for crisis, ensure a rapid and
adequate response to the crisis, maintaining clear lines of reporting and
communication in the event of crisis and agreeing rules for crisis termination.
Crisis management is occasionally referred to as incident management, although
several industry specialists such as Peter Power argue that the term "crisis
management" is more accurate.
Types of crisis:
Lerbinger categorized eight types of crises.
1. Natural disaster
2. Technological crises
3. Confrontation
4. Malevolence
5. Organizational Misdeeds
6. Workplace Violence
7. Rumours
8. Terrorist attacks/man-made disasters
1) Natural crisis:
Natural crises, typically natural disasters, are such environmental phenomena
as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, tsunamis, hurricanes etc.
2) Technological crisis:
Technological crises are caused by human application of science and technology.
Technological accidents inevitably occur when technology becomes complex and
coupled and something goes wrong in the system as a whole.
3) Confrontation crisis:
Confrontation crisis occur when discontented individuals and/or groups fight
businesses, government, and various interest groups to win acceptance of their
demands and expectations.
4) Crisis of malevolence:
An organization faces a crisis of malevolence when opponents or miscreant
individuals use criminal means or other extreme tactics for the purpose of
expressing hostility or anger with the aim of destabilizing or destroying it.
www.Padasalai.Net
5) Crisis of organizational misdeeds:
Crisis occurs when management takes actions it knows will harm or place
stakeholders at risk for harm without adequate precautions.
6) Workplace violence:
Crises occur when an employee or former employee commits violence against
other employees on organizational grounds.
7) Rumors:
False information about an organization or its products creates crises hurting the
organization‟s reputation.
8) Terrorist attacks/man-made disasters:
It occurs when terrorist attacks the country or individual person makes disaster
against the company.
Gonzalez-Herrero and Pratt found the different phases of Crisis Management.
There are 3 phases in any Crisis Management as shown below.
1. The diagnosis of the impending trouble or the danger signals.
2. Choosing appropriate Turnaround Strategy.
3. Implementation of the change process and its monitoring.
Educational Planning
Definition of Planning:
Planning is the formal process of making decisions for the future individuals and
organizations.
It is the function that determines in advance what should be done.
It is a deliberate, rational, time bound and optimistic approach to achieve practical
goals of an organization.
It consists of selecting the objectives of the organization and policies,
programmes, procedures and other means to achieve these objectives (Haimann).
J.P. Naik viewed “Educational planning implies the taking of decisions for future
action with a view to achieving predetermined objectives through the optimum use
of scare resources”.
Philip H. Coombs defines, “Educational planning is nothing more than a
rational process of setting clear objectives, choosing the most efficient and
effective means of pursuing them, then following with practical action.
Nature of Planning:
Planning is goal oriented
www.Padasalai.Net
The goals of an organization are decided at first and then planning to achieve
them starts.
Planning is not an end and it is only a means to achieve the goals, which may
be implicit or explicitly stated.
Planning is a primary function
Planning is the first step in the managerial function; other functions are
organizing, staffing, directing, coordinating reporting and budgeting follow it.
Planning involves all levels
Planning could be done at various levels.
There are plans for the whole nation (national level), for a particular state (state
level), for a particular district (district level), for a particular block (block
level) and even at village level.
Planning is a rational or logical process
Planning is based on reliable data, sound reasoning foresight and assessment of
present trends and past experiences.
Planning is a continuous process
One plan succeeds another.
The old plans may have to be revised, new goals have to be set up and priority
areas rearranged, but continuity between successive plans is kept up.
Planning is forward looking
Planning is future oriented and involves forecasting, which involves the
following features:
1) Forecasting relates to future events. This is needed for the process of
planning, because it devises future course of action.
2) It defines the probability of happening of future events. As such it
cannot be precise.
3) It is made by analyzing the events in the past and the present which are
relevant for the functioning of the organization.
4) It is done after analyzing various factors and their statistical
significance.
Planning involves choice
When more than one course of action is available, one has to choose among the
alternatives.
The best available choice has to be selected.

Planning is an integrated process
Components are interrelated and interconnected and need vertical and
horizontal linking; one plan may form the basis for a subsequent plan.
Planning aims at efficiency
Plans could be implemented efficiently, and goals reached by adopting
measures conducive in promoting economy and effectiveness.
All round efficiency has to be promoted by managers of organizations.

9. It tries to optimize the use of available resources, without too much or too little
availability.
10. It is the collective endeavor of planners, administrators, educationists, teachers and
parents.
Approaches to Planning:
The planner chooses the appropriate approach in tune with the policies of the
government, national goals, availability of resources and aspirations of the people.
According to Adesina, there are three approaches to educational planning.
1. Main Power Planning Approach
2. Rate of Return Approach or The Cost- Benefit Approach
3. Social Demand Approach
Main Power Planning Approach:
It is known as the Human Resource Development Approach.
It implies that the social system needs educated and trained people with defined
knowledge, attitudes and skills.
It should produce as many educated and trained people of different categories such
as doctors, engineers, teachers as required by the country for its various services.
www.Padasalai.Net
Rate of Return Approach or The Cost- Benefit Approach:
It looks at each level of education as investment in human beings with the purpose
that the returns will improve the whole economy.
It emphasizes that the investment in education should be based on the benefits or
return.
It is a mode of analysis of current relationship between education and income.
Social Demand Approach:
It requires the educational authorities to make schools available and provide
facilities for all students who get admission.
It is a suitable tool to meet the needs of the general public.
It provides the planners with approximate number of places where educational
facilities has to be provided.

parents represented by the Parent Teacher Association.

requirements of the institution, utilizing the maximum possible extent the
unutilized or underutilized resources.

Limitations of Institutional Planning
Institutional Planning is possible only when powers and responsibilities are
decentralized and grass root planning gets established.
Secondly, headmasters and teachers should be trained in the elements of planning
and should have loyalty and commitment to the institution.
Thirdly, frequent transfer of staff will disrupt plan implementation.
Fourthly, the value of nonmonetary inputs such as potentials and talents of
teachers and parents cannot be utilized in the present examination oriented
