Itanagar, Dec 24: Governor Lt. General K.T. Parnaik (Retd.) has extended his heartfelt greetings to the people of the State on the special occasion of 'Good Governance Day,' which commemorates the birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee, former Prime Minister of India. He expressed his hope that the occasion will inspire greater awareness among citizens about the importance of transparency, accountability, and responsive governance.
The Governor said that late Atal Bihari Vajpayee was a visionary statesman, a gifted orator, and a distinguished writer. He consistently opposed corruption and inefficiency in governance, advocating that true empowerment of the people is achieved through rapid economic growth and social progress. Atal Ji firmly believed that empowering individuals is the key to empowering the nation. In recognition of his foresight and visionary leadership, the Union Government, under the guidance of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, designated December 25th as 'Good Governance Day' as a tribute to his enduring legacy and a reminder to all stakeholders in governance of their duty to uphold transparency, accountability, and service to the people, he said.
The Governor said that good governance reflects a government's capacity to design, formulate, and implement development-oriented policies and programs aimed at improving the quality of life of its citizens. It fosters an inclusive, balanced, and continuous relationship between the government and the people. Core elements of good governance include responsive administration, prompt bureaucracy, revitalized welfare initiatives, and clearly defined responsibilities. Key indicators of good governance include political stability, effective government functioning, quality regulation, rule of law, and control of corruption. Therefore, everyone involved in governance must periodically review their role to ensure it remains visionary, egalitarian, and aligned with public welfare. I am confident that this occasion will reignite our collective commitment to uphold the principles of good governance in the public interest, he said.
On this occasion, I join my beloved people of Arunachal Pradesh in paying tribute to the great nation-builder, Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji, and reaffirm our commitment to his ideals of good governance, the Governor wished in his message.
