How does the Prime Minister's Office help in policy coordination?

Correct answer: Through coordination and monitoring among different ministries

Correct answer: A — the Prime Minister’s Office can help coordinate and monitor work involving different ministries. Many major policies are not limited to one department. For example, a programme may require administrative action, financial planning, communication and implementation by several ministries. The PMO supports the Prime Minister by collecting information, following progress, facilitating communication and drawing attention to delays or coordination problems. It does not replace the ministries, Parliament or the courts, and its coordination role should not be confused with direct ownership of every department’s work. Option A is correct because it identifies coordination and monitoring. B is wrong because polling-booth arrangements belong to election administration. C is wrong because the PMO does not directly conduct Lok Sabha elections. D is wrong because courts are independent judicial institutions, not offices run by the PMO. Memory cue: coordination means connecting departments so that a common policy moves in the same direction.
