PEOPLE’S RESPONSIBILITIES TO PROMOTE GOOD GOVERNANCE - AN INDIAN CONTEXT

Abstract

Good governance emerged as a powerful idea when the institutions like world Bank, UNDP, OECD etc. realized that it is citizen friendly, citizen caring and responsive administration. Good governance is measured by eight factors of participation, rule of law, transpiracy, responsiveness, consensus oriented, equity and inclusiveness, effectiveness and efficiency and accountability. These characteristics are mostly related to government and government organizations but the purpose of this study is to discuss about the role and responsibilities of the people living in the country to promote good governance. Good governance is only possible when both the government and the citizens of the country are loyal and responsible towards building the growth and development of the nation. In this study we will discuss about the responsibilities that lies on the shoulders of the citizens to help the government to promote good governance.
