The rational model answer sets out the stages of rational policy-making in a flowchart, its assumptions, the criticisms of Herbert Simon (bounded rationality and satisficing) and Charles Lindblom (incrementalism), the optimal model of Yehezkel Dror, Amitai Etzioni’s mixed scanning and the relevance of the model for evidence-based policy in India.

The implementation answer explains the roles of ministries, field agencies and regulators in rule-making, coordination and service delivery, and the role of Parliament through laws, the budget, the Public Accounts Committee, the Estimates Committee and other committees, with a comparison table. The monitoring answer covers the functions and significance of monitoring, its problems and measures such as MIS, the PRAGATI platform, PFMS, DMEO of NITI Aayog, social audit and RTI, shown in a diagram.
