Good Governance cannot remain merely a philosophy. Concrete steps have to be taken for realizing its goals.
People's participation is the essence of good governance.
For achieving good governance political will is necessary. Good governance is a political process. Though role of civil society is critical, without political will and political process, sustainable good governance cannot be achieved.
Many state governments have launched innovative steps such as Ladli Laxmi scheme of Madhya Pradesh, PDS reform scheme of Chattisgarh, computerization of land records in Karnataka, free computers to students passing 10th standard exams, pollution control efforts in Himachal, power sector reforms in Rajasthan and Mumbai - Pune Expressway in Maharashta. These excellent innovative schemes are examples of good governance.
Team Work is the essence of good governance. It is necessary to form a team within the party and also within the administrative system.
Good governance depends on ability to take responsibility by both administration as well as people.
Pro-active good governance aims beyond short-term requirement keeping in mind the long-term needs such as the use of clean technology and in preparedness and mitigating climate change fallout etc.
While transparency reduces corruption, good governance goes beyond transparency in achieving openness. Openness means involving the stakeholders in decision-making process. Transparency is the right to information while openness is the right to participation.
Good governance needs self-discipline. Only discipline within can ensure discipline without.
Good governance is not fire-fighting or crisis-management. Instead of opting for ad-hoc solutions the need of the hour is to tackle the root cause of the problems.
Understanding strengths and weaknesses is very essential in setting forth a clean administration and for sustainable and lasting solutions.
Urban development initiatives must match the aspirations of the middle class and the neo middle class.
Truth, Peace and Non-violence form the central tenets of the 'Idea of India'!
Forget if you are rich or poor. All you need is faith in yourself. If you have the passion to work then just get up and set forth and you will find the way!
