Discussion
The secretariat helps the Ministries in the following matters :
(1) Budgeting and controlling expenditure
(2) Formulation of policies and programmes
(3) Advice to the Governor
(4) Acting as the spokesman of the Government
Select correct code :
Answer: A
The secretariat helps with (1), (2) and (4).
A ministry's secretariat assists the minister in formulating policies and programmes (2), prepares the budget and controls expenditure (1), and, as the key accepts, speaks for the government on the ministry's business, for example by preparing replies to Parliament and explaining policy (4).
Advising the Governor (3) is not a function of the ministries' secretariat. The Governor is the constitutional head of a state, and he is advised by the state council of ministers, not by the secretariat on behalf of ministries. Every option except (1), (2), (4) includes item (3), so elimination alone settles the answer.
