Item ADVANCING GOVERNANCE IN INDIA: TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND EFFICIENCY IN POLICY PRACTICE(Empyreal Publishing House, 2025) Zia Afroz ; Pratima ShuklaThe concept of good governance gained traction when international organizations such as the World Bank, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), etc., recognized its importance as an administration that is responsive to the needs of its citizens. Improvements in the quality of life for residents cannot be achieved through development projects in the absence of strong administration. But weak governance creates and promotes corruption, poverty, etc., therefore it's crucial to enhance governance; doing so is also necessary to improve the lives of the poor, as they will be the ones to bear the consequences of any misuse of state authority. In today's political system, the idea of good governance is crucial. People are undoubtedly more attentive these days and constantly aware of how the government operates on a daily basis. Therefore, the general public must be satisfied by the government, and this is made possible by excellent administration. India's democratic experience over the last 60 years has made it abundantly evident that eradicating poverty and increasing social chances are the goals of effective government. The obstacles of effective administration, as stated by J.L. Nehru in his well-known "tryst with destiny" address on August 14, 1947, include eradicating poverty, illiteracy, sickness, and inequality of opportunity.Item OMBUDSMAN - SWEDEN, UK AND INDIA(CHYREN PUBLICATION, 2025) ShashwatSubhash, Manzoor KhanThis article offers a comparative analysis of the Ombudsman institutioninSweden,theUnitedKingdom,andIndia.Originatingin Swedenin1809,thepaperanalysestheadaptationofthismechanism for addressing citizen concerns and guaranteeing administrative accountability across various legal and political systems.
