Explanation
★New Public Administration emphasises relevance, values, equity and change, so the answer is 1, 2, 3 and 4.
★It grew out of the Minnowbrook Conference of 1968 as a response to a value-neutral administration.
★Relevance means administration must address the real and pressing problems of society.
★Values means rejecting a false neutrality and openly working for justice and social good.
★Equity means fairness, with special concern for the disadvantaged in distributing services.
★Change means the discipline must stay adaptive and responsive to a shifting society.
