The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has long been a subject of debate, curiosity, and scrutiny. Over the decades, it has evolved into a powerful institution within India’s broader administrative framework. 

But how did it come to wield such significant influence? This book traces the evolution of the PMO since India’s independence. 

Through meticulous research, it examines various facets of the PMO, including its operations, bureaucracy, and the expanding scope of its power. It unveils previously unknown details about the PMO’s organizational structure, origins, and the factors that have shaped its development.  

Additionally, the book explores the impact of different prime ministers—from Jawaharlal Nehru to Narendra Modi—on the PMO. It also assesses how political developments have influenced the PMO, and vice versa. 

Both general readers and scholars will find this book invaluable for understanding the PMO’s role and its broader implications for India’s governance, politics, and administration.
