Main Body

"Governor" office in neither declarative nor inconsequential - it assumes a consolidated state of profound essence. To what extent does the Governor actively contribute to governance of a State and reinforce principles of federalism? Article 153 describes office of Governor - and (Article 154) describes that office as one in which all the executive power of the State is vested. Governor, is a significant centre - contributes to the governance of a State, and to principles of federalism. Contribution in governance and federalism: 1. (Article 163): All executive action in name of Governor 2. (Article 163): Discretionary power to Governor 3. (Article 164): Governor to make rules for convenient transaction of business 4. (Article 161): Duties of chief minister - Governor about all executive action taken. It, it is Governor's responsibility to ensure governance is in accordance with Constitution. There are several issues in office of Governor, which have led to grave organized principles of federalism: 1. Partisan functioning 2. Interference with State Executive - Conducts to the governance of a State, and to principles of federalism.

Article 200, 201 - giving assent to bills both Withholding assent if it is against Constitution, etc. Article 356: Governor can report to President (if administrator is not in accordance with Constitution) Administration of scheduled states - 5th and 6th schedule As Chancellor of Universities Thus, as Punche and Judicial Commission have noted, Governor's the locus for the federal scheme in the Constitution. Yet there are several issues in office of Governor, which have led to grave organized principles of federalism: 1. Partisan functioning 2. Interference with State Executive How social accountability law can help in good governance: Compared of good governance | How social accountability will help 1. Participatory | Law envisions greater participation 2. Consensus oriented | Law envisions inputs of multiple citizens and citizen groups 3. Responsive | Law answers to take role in policy formulation 4. Accountable | Law is focused directly on accountability of both elected and appointed executive 5. Responsive | Law ensures greater grievance redressal

Recently, demand has been rising to a state regarding enactment of social accountability law. Upon can such a law lead to good governance and raise Citizens participation in decision-making? Recently, there has been a demand in legislation and several other states for a social accountability law. Social accountability principle: Greater participation of officers and other groups in ensuring accountability of State. How social accountability law can help in good governance: Compared of good governance | How social accountability will help: 1. Participatory => Law envisions greater participation 2. Consensus oriented => Law envisions inputs of multiple citizens and citizen groups 3. Responsive => Law answers to take role in policy formulation unclear 4. Accountable => Law is focused directly on accountability of both elected and appointed executive and so on How it can boost citizens participation in decision making: 1. (Social accountability) => Citizens know what if the state doesn't work, how it becomes accountable 2. Iterative to take role in policy formulation => Citizens feel there is no point of their participation unclear 3. Ward seal need laws 2 rules to accounting unclear State and South State, within local unclear inside states There, way forward:

1. Way communication GG @ Magov. 2. Public learning GG @ CIA There is a need for convergence of "nutrition - specific" and "nutrition - sensitive" interventions to effectively tackle undernutrition in India. CA towards: Discussing NHFS-3, ~35% children suffer from stunting, ~19% from wasting and according to NITI Aayog's Multi-Dimensional Poverty Index, ~20% Indian multi-dimensional poverty is on ground of nutrition, where India buffers from the triple burden of malnutrition. Nutrition - sensitive interventions: Direct supply of nutrients, body weight deficient with other deficits GG for food safe or GG funded via for issue GG funded via for issue.

MUNREGA, mechanism of rural poverty alleviation, has become victim of fiscal spending. Critically analyze in light of recent developments: The budget for MUNREGA was cut in budget 2023-24 by ~15%. In light of revival of economy and employment. MUNREGA as mechanism of rural poverty alleviation: 1. Safety net: acceptable to all adults (100 days work - mesal). 2. "Economic shock absorber during COVID" - MUNREGA was able to absorb the urban to rural migration that took place during lock down. Data from ministry of rural development: MUNREGA during non-LDp design [graph shown] - persons per year, per day per person, Graph 1 showing [FY 19-20, 20, 21, 21-22, 22]. During COVID lockdown [shown], the demand increased to pre-covid level since descended again, hence less budget can be dynamically increased. If there is more demand, then budget can be dynamically increased. NE Singh faced new paired all [newly] fiscal metatorship is increased allocation, steps such as dynamic attory allocations, such as for MUNREGA would improve [fiscal metatorship].

"Victim of fiscal spending" YES: - Budget reduction - Delayed wage payments via PFMs, in states some cases - Lack of well NO: - Demand driven scheme - As can be seen from Graph 1: demand increased to 2020 to 2022 - Then descended again If there is more demand, then budget can be dynamically increased.
