"Shri S. B. Chavan, Former Union Home Minister and two time Chief Minister of Maharashtra was one of the most respected Congress leaders from Maharashtra and an outstanding political leader and administrator. During his six decades in public life, he carved a niche for himself as an astute administrator which earned him the sobriquet of a \'headmaster\' in government circles.

During his illustrious career, he was associated with a number of national institutions and organisations. As Chairman of the Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA) he took a deep and abiding interest in its functioning and paved the path for continuous growth and development of the institute. This book is an attempt to give a broad picture of Shri Chavan\'s association with IIPA and his enduring contributions to public administration through addresses to various fora in IIPA and outside."
