DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE

 The citizen is at the centre of the democratic ecosystem and thus, is its fulcrum.  Democratic governance is oriented towards his well being and all resources of the state, is to elevate not only his well being but also to provide the feel that he and he only presides over the democratic system. The government is mandated to rule as per people’s choice in the manner ideally suited to them.

 The quality of interface of the citizen with the cutting edge level of governance is the touchstone of democratic governance.  This is first experience and for vast majority of Indians is also the final interface.  The percolation of the democratic mindset to the lowest level of bureaucracy only can usher in real responsive administration in this country.

 In conjunction with the people’s representatives, the bureaucratic machinery’s capabilities to have a proactive reach over its citizens in providing services,  solutions to retracted problems and customised infrastructure to the local communities will facilitate in elevating the  citizens well being, welfare and ease of living to the next level.

 What is not measured is deemed not to have been done.  A detailed matrix to  measure the progress on citizen centric lines  on a fixed periodicity will be the  true reflection of the ongoing state directed economic and social change.  This would supplement the Human Development Indices system presently in vogue  taking it straight to the communities.  Over a period of time, the  data thus generated and analysed can become a potent planning tool  truly connected to the ground realities of the day.

 SEAMLESS, HASSLE FREE & RESPONSIVE CITIZEN CENTRIC SERVICES, IN ALL ITS FORMS, IS THE FINAL ARBITRATOR OF DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE.
