Cabinet Committees

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Informal bodies formed by the Prime Minister to handle specialized areas, such as political affairs, security, or economic policy. These committees expedite decision-making by focusing on narrower agendas, saving full cabinet sessions for broader issues. The composition and number of committees can change at the PM’s discretion. Examples include the Cabinet Committee on Security, overseeing defense and strategic matters, and the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, directing major economic reforms. Their recommendations typically proceed to the full cabinet for final ratification. By delegating tasks, they ensure swift governance and reduce bureaucratic delays, reflecting the modern administrative approach of streamlined policymaking.
