520			_aThe delivery of public services to the citizens is the most critical function of the government, among the other functions being development and regulation. The three essential pillars of public service delivery are timelines, quality and grievance redressal. The concept of public service delivery emerged in the 1990s, with New Public Management and Citizen Charter’s evolution in the UK. With the shift in the role of the state from provider to facilitator and regulator of public services, the focus is to ensure transparency, accountability and citizen centricity in administration and maintain citizen’s satisfaction and trust in the government.
