About us

Good governance has been major point of discussion among stakeholders since the end of the cold war due to gamut of reasons. What this good governance is all about? For most it meant government without corruption. For many others, governance is what the government is seized with. These are parochial perspectives. In a democracy, governance is sum total of what the government and civil society do over time and how other stakeholders take it or respond and with what impact and implications. Good governance is more than a popular government.

As good government in parliamentary democracy is not possible without good politics, good politics is not feasible without good political leaders. All these ideal situations are not possible without a vigilant citizenry and a value neutral civil society. Our constitution begins with ‘We the people’ and speaks a lot and that means that people is the ultimate custodian of the processes of democracy and good governance has remaind the moral motivator of the entire process.
