GOVERNANCE: If we closely read article 39 of the constitution of India we would discover that Social security (especially for women, children and unreachable people living in the back of beyond), implementation of development programs and an administration ensuring welfare in an equitable manner are essential elements of governance. Principles of good governance as proposed by experts from time to time are,- 1) *The legislative and administrative responsibilities* in governance are mutually fulfilling and complimenting. Dynamics of community life makes it obligatory for state to prescribe legislations as are necessary for the situation from time to time. Central government discharges its responsibilities to correct situations arising in the country as a whole in respect of central subjects (those subjects listed as central and concurrent lists subjects in the 7th schedule of the constitution of India) to the notice of the democratically elected parliament. While doing so it also suggests legislative actions (to prepare rules) that are necessary to be made by govt. for the implementation of law in various situation(s). Once laws are approved by parliament and ratified by the president of India, the government prepares rules to discharge its administrative responsibilities. Rules have the force of law. In case any violation of the rule of law it is brought to the notice of the government who is expected to initiate action through the enforcement dept. as is prescribed in the rules However in case anyone feels or observes that action(s) is/are not taken or taken contrary to law they have the right to approach the court and get actions redressed. 2) *Outsourcing the responsibility is bad governance:* It is sometimes seen that wherever the govt. or its officers feel that the responsibilities are intricate or involves the participation of many agencies, the implementing agency may hand over or delegate the power to an agency. This could be either an evasive step to delay or shift responsibility. One argument for outsourcing is that the government procedure for creation of posts or promoting persons from existing ranks (followed by training) is cumbersome. Delegation is an easy, quick and smooth administrative action. Agencies outsourced through an expression of interest (EOI) or outright contract cannot be expected to be charitable. If the agencies assume themselves to be ‘de facto’ government and execute actions on their discretion equity and rule of law may become the first causality. Another catch word is PPP (public private partnership) which in true sense could be a positive step; but vulnerable to be misused if the ‘role identification’ and ‘linkage’ is not clearly spelt out. A reasonable alternative is to identify or establish a statutory agency (or a project implementation group) with reasonable financial and administrative control of the govt. to undertake the implementation on a time frame. 3) *Laws are for enforcement and not meant for masquerading populist ideas:* As had been discussed at (1) it becomes essential to make laws from time to time. But successive governments/ LSG’s could pass laws/ resolutions in their enthusiasm to project them in popular light (say, before elections). If it is made mandatory for govt. or LSG’s to do a work break down study (WBS) and PERT exercise [Program Evaluation and Review Technique. Pl. see annexure for explanation] before preparing/ presenting laws, rules or resolutions, one could foresee the sequence of task/ sub-tasks, man power need, time frame and accountability at each stage. Doing this is essentially an administrative responsibility. 4) *Free market:* We often discuss that the markets have to be free. It mainly means free from tight control of the govt. or a regulatory authority. But it is expected that the free market will conform to some ethical marketing behavior. In some cases their control comes with some concessions asked from and/or allowed by government. A true free market has to be free from both control and concessions. At the same time “no regulation” does not mean corruption is permissible. 5) *Dissipation / decentralization* The 73rd amendment of the constitution ensured devolution of powers in a three tier system in which the state govt. can delegate powers of certain departments to the Panchayti raj institutions. However, all states have not implemented the law completely. Even in a few states where it has been established the power has not gone down to the people as expected. Two major reasons are, 1) many of the people especially in villagers still do not know their power. 2) where powers are understood, people feel that the ward members are the de facto ministers for all the financial and social sanctions. The main idea of devolution of power is ensuring community participation in democracy. There are three concepts of community participation *a) Participation as community contribution, b) Participation as project authorities and c) Participation in decision making. While it is desirable for community to participate *on all three stages, in practice it is operated in different ways. (i) problems are identified by the government and solutions offered to the community to choose from. (ii) community identifies the problem, decides its priority and seek the governmental action/ solution.(iii) same as (ii), but community itself suggest solutions and seek specific intervention.
