The Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Government of India celebrates the Good Governance Week during the 19-25 December every year.
Earlier only the day 25 December was celebrated as the Good Governance Day as a tribute to the former Prime Minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Vajpayee as he was born on 25 December. However, it was converted into a week celebration as the decision was taken by the government in the year of Amrit Mahotsav (75th Year of Independence) ie. 2021.
The concept of good governance was to be passed through the districts to the villages and the whole system was to be introduced to the concept of ‘good governance’.
During the week long celebrations, various activities are taken up to demonstrate the government’s commitment towards providing transparent, effective and accountable governance to the people of this country.
The Second Sushasan Saptah celebrated during 19th – 25th December, 2022, aimed at furthering Good Governance at every level in India.
As part of the celebrations, a 5-day “Prashasan Gaon ki Ore campaign” is to be organised from 19th December 2022.
