520			_aThe degree of infection and consequent deaths have differed vastly, but Covid-19 pandemic has spared no country. The focus of this article is not to analyse India’s success in responding to this global pandemic but rather to draw lessons from this experience for effective public management in other fields of development. There seems to be an emerging consensus that civil liberties and public management matters. In a public health emergency, the primary responsibility of the government is to balance the foundation which paves way for equity, public welfare, individual and group rights, and a smooth functioning of democratic processes. Specific to the global crisis, the article focuses on how crucial it is to have a broad and free dialogue about civil liberties. Several countries are imposing some or the other form of problematic restrictions on civil liberties of an individual during the Covid-19 pandemic, leading to changing societal scenarios in a negative manner. Therefore, the article highlights the expertise of new public management and deployment of enhanced role of society stakeholders defence of civil liberties, especially in the area of social justice and misinformation. – Reproduced
