Introduction:
Good governance and administrative reforms are closely linked to the success of democratic institutions, particularly in a diverse and vast country like India. Effective governance ensures that state policies are implemented efficiently, resources are used optimally, and citizens' rights are protected. The term "administrative reforms" refers to changes in the structure, functioning, and processes of public administration to improve efficiency, responsiveness, and accountability.
India's public administration has undergone several reforms since its independence in 1947, yet issues like bureaucratic red tape, corruption, inefficiency, and poor service delivery continue to challenge the Indian state. As India strides toward becoming a global power, the need for effective governance and reforms in its administrative machinery becomes even more critical. This paper critically analyzes the need for administrative reforms and their impact on good governance in India, highlighting the challenges and opportunities for improving governance systems.
