India's governance system struggles with several challenges that limit its efficiency and effectiveness. Some of the major challenges include corruption, bureaucratic red tape, lack of transparency, and socio-economic inequality. These issues hinder the system's ability to deliver quality public services to citizens and promote inclusive growth. To address these challenges, several measures can be taken, including implementing anti-corruption measures, simplifying bureaucratic procedures, enhancing transparency and accountability in governance, promoting good governance practices in public institutions, and investing in human capital development. Moreover, strengthening decentralization and local governance mechanisms, and improving the delivery of basic services such as healthcare, education, and sanitation could also help in reducing socio-economic inequality. By enhancing governance efficiency and effectiveness, India can accelerate its growth trajectory and achieve its development goals while ensuring that all citizens benefit from the fruits of its progress.
