This document presents the 2017 Public Administration paper for the Haryana Civil Services (Ex.Br.) & Other Allied Services Mains. Page 1 contains exam metadata, instructions, and Question 1, which asks candidates to write short notes on six topics related to governance, parliamentary control over public finance, British administrative legacies, ministerial responsibility, and the Directive Principles. Page 2 lists Questions 2–7 (descriptive), spanning classical theory of organisation, integrity in administration, development administration, peace-time powers of the President, law and order responsibilities of District Magistrates, and the role of the Comptroller and Auditor General as a constitutional device for parliamentary accountability and financial control. The OCR repair preserves line breaks, language in both Hindi and English where present, and separates questions clearly for SEO-friendly structuring. The content emphasizes essay-style analysis rather than MCQs, aligning with mains examination expectations.
