| Summary, etc. |
The demand for accountability and transparency falls within the broader agenda of good governance. Social segments closer to power are getting all advantages as they have access to information and power. But people at the bottom rely on the mercy of the development brokers to get their entitlements. To transform this scenario procedural reforms have to be introduced at the lowest level of administration. Accountability can be ensured only by the participation of the citizens in the decision making process. In this framework, development is acknowledged as a right. It is to be claimed. However, the transparency and the downward accountability in administration depend on a number of factors of which the physical distance between the people and the government departments and the availability of information to the people to the level of understanding of the stakeholders from the departments are primary. - Reproduced. |
