State responsibilities have changed with the passage of time. It is nowhere near a “laissez faire” economy that used to exist early era, where there was less intervention of sovereign in economic activities. Now the concept of welfare state exists in the modern society. Constitution of India, under directive principle of state policy, has rightly inclined the burden on state to engage itself in the welfare of society. So in this regards government has to either engage itself to accomplish activities; or enter into contract with private individuals to allocate its work, towards fulfilling its objective of establishing welfare state. Contact entered by and for the purpose of state is different from contract obligation entered into by the private parties. This paper duly focuses on the procedural irregularities present in the government machinery. Massive corruption is prevalent in the government mechanism, which is acting as a hindrance in establishing our country into “A welfare state”. Whether this objective welfare state is an unattainable goal? A big question mark on the face of Indian democracy. In wake to all arising questions measures for controlling arbitrariness, favoritism and Discrimination in Governmental Contracts has also been prescribed in this research
