INTRODUCTION:

'Public Policy', as an academic pursuit emerged inthe early 1950s and

since then it has been acquiring new dimensions, and is now attempting to
acquire the status of a discipline. As a study of products of the government
policy forms a significant component in several social science disciplines like
political science, public administration, economics, and management. So rapid
is the academic growth of public policy that many researchers, teachers, and

policy intresting and thought provoking.
