Administration is primarily concerned with implementation of government policies and projects. To be able to make people accept legitimacy of any policy, it is important that bureaucracy lays emphasis on value aspect while implanting such policies.

Minority and tribal areas lack education facilities, face problems of displacement and rehabilitation causing them psychological problems, health related problems, erosion of identity etc.The Constitution of India in Article 15(4),Article 29, Article 46,Article 350 provides for educational and cultural safeguards of scheduled tribes.

Implementation of any government policy in such areas is not without challenges. Some of the challenges that administrators face while implementing policies in such areas are:
1. To build rapport with people of such areas who are educationally backward and culturally different as alienation would lead to rejection of functional authority exercised by bureaucracy.
2. Environment resource management would be another challenge as tribals struggle to preserve their ecosystem.
3.To make people of minority and tribal areas understand relevance of technology is another challenging task.
4. Assimilation of such groups in the mainstream citizenry would be difficult since people living in such areas prefer isolation.
5.Policies relating to empowering women in tribal areas would be hard amidst patriarchy and rigid social codes.

Way forward:
It is quintessential to make residents of tribal and minority areas understand the relevance of the policy being implemented and make them understand that integration with the other parts of the country would make them educationally, physically, culturally motivated.

In today’s world which is taking transition to Artificial Intelligence, EVM’s, more so when the world is grappling with wars; Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Hamas war, Gandhian principles find no place. The relevance of Mahatma Gandhi’s principles has somewhere got hidden amidst the complex human world.

The adoption of principles advocated by Mahatma Gandhi may likely be able to address today’s problems.
In the context of India, these principles have been applicable to much extent.

The authenticity of Gandhian principles:
1.Non-violence (Ahimsa): This principle brings message for the two global wars that need to resolve ongoing conflicts through dialogue.
2.Truthfulness (Satya):Embracing transparency for better co-ordination at global level in areas of environment, energy, defence etc
3.Simplicity: Reviving our cultural past seems most appropriate in this context. Government has set up zonal cultural centres for conducting Rashtriya Sanskriti Mahotsavs as part of programme to revive our past.
4.Self Reliance (Swaraj): Make in India has been a vibrant initiative by our government in this context.
5. Compassion (Seva):Ministry of Culture’s Seva Bhoj Yojana makes relevance with the Gandhian principle of compassionate human behavior.

It can be concluded that Gandhian principles still find a relevant place across the world that is fast moving towards digitalization and an era of war. These universal principles are a solution to many world problems.
