Governance is a broader concept than government, as it keeps people at the centre of the developmental process. In light of the statement, discuss the paradigm of good governance in the country and highlight the challenges associated with its on-ground implementation.

2nd APT defines Good Governance as the provision of public resources in an equitable and efficient manner to citizens. PARADIGM OF GOOD GOVERNANCE IN INDIA involves the following features: 1. Ensuing Rule of Law (e.g. Judicial Review) 2. Transparency (e.g. RTI Acts) 3. Accountability (e.g. Mid-Career Review of public servants, Outcome monitoring by NITI) 4. Responsiveness (e.g. Twitter Accounts of departments, Ministries) 5. Effectiveness & Efficient service delivery (e.g. Citizen Report Card) 6. Consensus-building among stakeholders (e.g. comments invited on draft Bills) 7. Citizen Centricity & participation (e.g. Citizen's Charters, Social Audits) 8. E-governance (e.g. UMATg APP, MyGov) 9. Governance redressal (e.g. CJ GPAMs platform)

Challenges associated with implementation: Lack of awareness regarding rights among citizens. Lopsided approach by public functionaries. Lack of a service-attitude - citizen not considered as a customer. Corruption & lethargy. Digital illiteracy. 'Mass-Bag' Culture of public functionaries. Red-tapism in bureaucracy. Huge scale of service delivery in India due to its size. Centralization of service delivery. A sea change in attitudes is required, both in government and people, to usher in an age of 'Swaraj' (Good Governance) from just 'Swaraj' (Self Government).
