Question 1:

The role of participative plural governance is central to the inclusive growth model that India
has instituted. It has led to a growth-oriented, investor-friendly, and sustainable climate for
business. India inherited the institutions of democracy at independence, then strengthened and
reinforced it. This has enabled citizens to be active participants in governance.
The judicial system allows for rule of law and recourse to justice. The media includes news
channels, newspapers, journals, and the like. Often vocal and noisy, the media is one of the
main sentinels of democratic processes.
Human rights are protected by the National Human Rights Commission, having civil rights
activists and groups. Minority group interests are looked after by national commissions for
minorities, scheduled castes, and scheduled tribes. The Right to Information Act is a milestone
legislation for transparency and accountability in governance processes.
The Unique Identification Authority has rolled out ID Cards and expects to offer a number of
social services. The UID project promises to be a game-changer in governance in India. The
Indian governance system is federal, with responsibilities demarcated among Central and State
Governments. While defense, foreign relations, and other areas rest with the Central Gove-
rnment, crucial sectors such as law and order, education, agriculture, rural development, and
health are the responsibility of the State Governments. This helps State Governments to expe-
riment with novel ideas.
The strength and resilience of democracy not only articulates the aspirations of people but also
sustains an investor-friendly business climate. The governance agenda is constantly evolving
and there is high awareness of the need for a more responsive, effective, and transparent pro-
cess.
India’s growth process under a democratic government is a sustainable, humane, and just path
to development.
