Public Policy and the Pursuit of Good Governance in India: A Critical Evaluation

TITLE	Public Policy and the Pursuit of Good Governance in India: A Critical Evaluation
ABSTRACT	Good governance is essential to ensure that public policies achieve their intended outcomes. In recent years, issues of governance have received serious attention from researchers, policymakers, and the international development community. Today, governance not only occupies a central position in development discourse but is also regarded as a crucial component of sustainable development strategies. The present study critically examines the relationship between good governance and the public policy process in India. The first part of the paper discusses the basic concepts and key elements of good governance. This is followed by an analysis of the significance of good governance in the effective implementation of public policies and a brief discussion on the nature of public policy in the Indian context. Subsequently, the paper evaluates the various stages of the policy process, the challenges and constraints encountered during implementation, and the need for effective policy frameworks to strengthen governance in India.
