Explanation
The Good Governance Index (GGI) is a comprehensive tool launched by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG), Government of India. It is specifically designed to assess the state of governance across all Indian States and Union Territories.
- Objective: To provide quantifiable data to compare governance performance and enable states to formulate and implement strategies for improvement.
- Framework: The index evaluates performance across 10 key sectors, including Agriculture, Public Health, Human Resource Development, Public Infrastructure, and Citizen-Centric Governance.
- Significance: It fosters competitive federalism by ranking states based on 58 indicators, allowing them to identify gaps in administration.
While other options like the Urban Governance Index exist, they are either thematic or published by non-governmental organizations (e.g., Praja Foundation). The GGI is the official comprehensive assessment used by the central government for overall state-level governance.
