Good Governance Day
from nonstudent Hosted by Mukesh Sharma
Good Governance Day is observed in India annually on the twenty-fifth day of December, the birth anniversary of former- Late Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Good Governance Day was established in 2014 to honor Prime Minister Vajpayee by fostering awareness among the Indian people of accountability in government. In keeping with this principle, the Government of India has decreed Good Governance Day to be a working day for the government. On 23 December 2014, the ninety-year old former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya (posthumously) were announced as recipients of India's highest civilian award for merit, the Bharat Ratna, by Indian President Pranab Mukherjee. Following the announcement, the newly elected administration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi established that the birth anniversary of the former Prime Minister would be henceforth commemorated annually in India as Good Governance Day. Many contributions were given by the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government in the NDA tenure. So the simple, hardworking, plain speaking Politician gave the new generation in the Indian politics a new direction and motivation.
