Little about Governance!

Governance is how Government institutions conduct public affairs and manage public & National resources. It is the process of decision making and the system by which decisions are executed fully, partially or not at all.

The biggest hindrance to Good Governance is the Corruption, lack of Vision & Discipline in all forms which leads to Chaos & Poverty in our society. In today’s political scenario; politics has become business and “Me & My family” is above party and country. There are just 2 to 3 Political Parties which do not practice, family veto in the Party.  So if we are expecting 100% of good people in politics; then there is long way to go. Till that time we need to vote a candidate who is the “Best among the worst” or “NOTA” (None Of The above) as a respected Citizen; at constituency level.

Now who can give us Good Governance? A person who is Dynamic, Charismatic, Visionary, Mass Leader and Efficient Executor (who can improve Demand Supply chain, Service Delivery & Grievance Residual System) is leading at the highest institutional level (Prime Minister).

The biggest measurable parameters of Good Governance are that :
(1) Everyone should get employment of his/her choice (including 3rd Gender), which will fulfil their aspiration.
(2) Quality life.
(3) Justice.
(4) Equality.
In the above mention points Government has major role to play in creating that atmosphere.
(Equality & Justice: Eg. In the sake of Equality if we stop given eligible maternity leave to females it will not be Justice to overall Society.)

My Thoughts about how to achieve Good Governance :

Good Governance lead to Developed Nation. To become Developed nation in least possible time what we need is Modernisation and not Westernisation. Modernisation can be achieved by making, Digitalisation (Computerisation) and E Governance (Online –Internet) as Catalyst.

The objective of Digitalisation and E Governance is to make 80% paperless offices (in comparison with today) across our country by 75th Independence Day which will reduce corruption to 70 - 80% (in comparison with today). The Digitalization and E-Governance systems should be designed in such a manner that there should not be any scope for corruption. The eminent personalities such as Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and others should leads this Digitalisation and E Governance Project on technical front to achieve the target by  75th Independence Day.

The biggest successful projects in India which ease the common man’s operational problems are Indian Railway’s “Online Passenger Reservation System”, Core and Internet Banking, Equity & Mutual Fund’s Trading (Demat & Online Trading) , Gujarat State PDS.
