New Delhi, October 16: Vice President Venkaiah Naidu has said that The Vice President said that the central services have to act innovatively to ensure that there is maximum governance and minimum government. He was addressing the gathering after releasing the book 'The Mavericks of Mussoorie' authored by M Ramachandran, Yesterday.

“Legislation should guarantee for providing service to peoples. He further said that it has been described as the ‘Steel Frame’ that holds the society together because it is supposed to be an objective implementer of the laws of the land,” Venkaiah Naidu said.

 

The higher civil services in the country have been one of the greatest contributors to nation building in the post-Independence India, he added.

“The global and Indian governance contexts are changing rapidly. Like the transition from a colonial to a democratic regime necessitated a shift in emphasis, we are at the cusp of another change. We must move into a new managerial culture.”
 
“The rising expectations of the people and the greater need for transparent, participatory and inclusive governance requires a shift in emphasis once again. The focus is now on a more efficient, effective governance intended to serve the citizens, especially those who are marginalized.”

To explain the reason for lower growth of GDP during past quarter in the country, the Vice President gave an example of a college which indulged in malpractices to get good results. When a strict Principal was appointed in the college, he stopped all the malpractices and the students failed in the examinations. Resultantly, the students, teachers, management have blamed the Principal.
