How does the Indian government ensure good governance in the country

Enumerate the measures that the Indian government has implemented to ensure good governance practices in the country.
The Indian government has implemented several measures to ensure good governance practices in the country. Some of these measures are:
  • Transparency: The government promotes the use of technology to bring transparency in its functioning. Key initiatives such as the Right to Information Act, digitization of government services and e-tendering have brought greater transparency.
  • Accountability: The government has established various institutions such as the Central Vigilance Commission, Central Information Commission, and the Comptroller and Auditor General of India to oversee the functioning of the government and ensure accountability in governance.
  • Participatory governance: To ensure citizen participation, the government has introduced initiatives such as the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and the Jan Dhan Yojana, which involve citizens in nation-building activities.
  • Rule of law: The government has strengthened the rule of law through initiatives such as the introduction of the National Judicial Appointments Commission to improve the functioning of the judiciary.
  • Decentralization: The government has encouraged decentralization of power by devolving power to the local bodies and empowering them to take decisions on local issues. The 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments are the landmark achievements in this direction.
These measures have helped in promoting good governance practices in the country and ensuring that the government is accountable to its citizens.
