THERE IS A CLEAR AND DISTINCT DIVISION OF FUNCTIONS BETWEEN THE SECRETARIAT, THE DIRECTORATE, AND THE COLLECTORATE/FIELD OFFICES.

Most departments have their district level offices with field offices /institutions as well. These are the Heads of the offices /Drawing and the disbursing officers. Actual implementation and the execution of the policy and works as per programs, laws, rules etc basically done at this level. These offices also exercise checks or conduct inspections about the policies , programmes, plans it's execution and implementation etc. They are too responsible for monitoring the progress in terms of financial as well as quantitative and the qualitative aspects of the policies, programmes, plans, schemes and the work to be done. These offices are also responsible for maintaining the statistical data for submission to the Government through their Regional/Divisional /Zonal offices or direct to the Directorates /Collectorates.They may also suggest modifications/altercations in implementation of the policies, programmes plans, schemes etc based on their field experience to the Government through their respective Directorates. At the same time these are the offices which have direct public contact and represent the Government in apprising the public about the various schemes, plans, programmes etc of the Government. Ultimately in broad terms the government is divided into three levels of function ie The Secretariat, The Directorates;and the Collectorates and field offices and there is a distinct division of function between the Secretariat, the Directorate and the Collectorate/field offices.
