India celebrates Good Governance Day on December 25, 2024, to mark the 100th birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. This day not only honors Vajpayee's leadership but also highlights the importance of accountable and citizen-centric governance.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead the Good Governance Day celebrations in Madhya Pradesh, where he will inaugurate several key projects. These projects include the Ken-Betwa river linking project and the Omkareshwar Floating Solar Project. Additionally, he will release a commemorative stamp and coin in honor of Vajpayee and lay the foundation for 1,153 Atal Gram Sushasan buildings aimed at enhancing local governance.
Good Governance Day, also known as Sushasan Diwas, was first observed in 2014 when the Modi government declared December 25 as a day to promote good governance practices inspired by Vajpayee's legacy. The day serves as a reminder of the need for effective service delivery and government accountability to improve citizens' lives.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee, born on December 25, 1924, in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, served as Prime Minister three times: briefly in 1996 and then from 1998 to 2004. His tenure was marked by significant initiatives such as the Kisan Credit Card, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, and the National Rural Health Programme, which aimed to uplift various sectors of society.
