    Role of Civil Society to Bring Good Governance in India
    (Bharti Publication, 2025) Khurshed Alam
    Civil society is the set of civic rights, including primarily everyone’s right to participate in Public life. Civil society forms the backbone of democracy. Civil society derives its strength from the Gandhian tradition of volunteerism, but today, it expresses itself in many different forms of activism. This paper strongly promotes the idea of civil society as a forum where the public action of individuals or collective groups aimed at social and ultimately national welfare can be conducted. This responsibility also being a general mission of any government makes it imperative to emphasize on and highlight ways for civil society and the government to interact and collaborate to ensure good governance. Civil society refers to formal as well as informal entities and includes the private sector, the media, NGOs, professional associations and informal groups of people from different walks of life.

    Urban Good Governance in India: Theoretical and Policy Perspective
    (Sandpiper Publishers, 2025) KHURSHED ALAM
    There is no doubt that promoting social justice and long-term economic success requires improving governance. Whether or not this is realised will depend on how rapidly leaders in the federal, state, and municipal governments can adjust to the intricate developments in the social, political, and economic spheres. Therefore, in order to improve public goods and services delivery as well as the effectiveness and efficiency of the functioning of political and governmental institutions, reforms are required. This asks for the decentralisation and fortification of local governments in order to facilitate public participation in development and governance, in addition to allowing civil society organisations to take ownership of development initiatives and activities. Transparency promotes openness through feedback and reporting, clear policies and procedures, and the conduct of individuals in positions of power. It gives the public clear guidelines and information that is easy to understand. Decentralisation, including political devolution, de-concentration, delegation, and transfer to non-governmental organisations, promotes public administration and good governance by offering an institutional framework to bring decision-making closure to the people and by encouraging collaboration and synergies among actors and organisations to achieve economic and human development goals. Legislators, development specialists, and officials have so backed decentralisation plans and initiatives over time. In light of this, the current paper aims to examine the definition, development, structure, and results of governance. The primary sources of data for the paper are relevant literature and secondary data.

    The Politics of Gender & Good Governance in India: A Critical Discourse
    (Bharti Publications, 2025) Faizan Haque
    Within the current development paradigm, one of the main challenges is gender disparity in India. It can take many different forms and is a major factor in determining the lives of most women on the Indian subcontinent. Numerous research studies and works published by international organisations have demonstrated the various dimensions of gender inequality that exist in India. In addition to restricting women's access to opportunities and resources, a lack of gender equality jeopardises the chances for the next generation. On the other hand, democracy, decentralisation, and local governance are inextricably related to each other, in which the role of women is a critical factor. Including women in decision-making roles, access and control, and the use of power and authority are all important aspects of mainstreaming gender in local government. Previous studies have indicated that socio-cultural hurdles that had not been addressed by several reform attempts often resulted in women being elected as "proxies" for their male relatives or preventing them from carrying out their representational roles. In essence, governance comprises the traditions, institutions and processes that determine how power is exercised, how citizens are given a voice, and how decisions are made on issues of public concern. This paper tries to find out factors which are responsible for gender inequality in various institutions and good governance in India. The descriptive and content analytical natures serve as the foundation for this research paper. The present paper is based on secondary data which will be collected from various sources like journals, books, reports, articles, internet etc.
