| Summary, etc. |
The objective of good governance is to create an environment so that public servants as well as politicians in government are able to respond to the challenges of governance. Such challenges involve a notion of duty, vocation, and service to the public. Public service as an ideal is and has been the classical view of good governance. How to improve services to citizens by government agencies has been a major cause of concern to governments all over the world. The author emphasises that unless the reforms address the issue of corruption in the public service, no reform will be hailed as good by the public. Keeping in view he colossal size of the nations's administrative machinery, easy and quick reforms may not be an astute4 option. One must also keep in mind the constant and ever-growing disruptive impacts of frequent public service reforms and institutional reorganisations. The public service of today requires far-reaching and perhaps unanticipated changes if India is to actualise its great potentialities to be counted among the ranks of great nations. From the ashes of New Public Management, a new phoenix is emerging in the name of Integrated Public Governance (IPG) which is in fact closely related to `holistic governance'. - Reproduced. |
