“Participation, balance, inclusiveness, transparency, reliability, stability, sustainability, equity and accountability, are basic elements of governance,” he said. “If these elements are not included, there is no meaning of governance,” Prof Bajpai added.

He provided a unique perspective of good governance and economics through the lens of self-sufficiency and self-reliance to foster growth and development of the country. He reiterated the fact that policy processes should be directed towards a distribution-led growth model and should be guided by distributive justice.

The event ended with Prof Manoj Dixit, head, public administration department, LU, calling for a synergy between the Atal Sushasan Peeth and the Chair of Atal Bihari Vajpayee University to enrich and facilitate intellectual depth in spheres of good governance.
