management and administration in education

A STUDY OF THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF DECENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT AT THE MAHARAJA SAYAJIRAO UNIVERSITY OF BARODA, VADODARA

As per the UGC policy frame in 1978, teaching, research and extension are the three basic academic activities of the universities, which should be given equal status.  Management is required to perform these functions effectively. The effectiveness of education depends largely on how well it is managed. Management consists of getting things done through others; a manager is one who accomplishes objectives by directing the efforts of others. Managing the modern education system is very complex and that too from a single position and/or location.
