In his article, Goyal said the government’s focus on citizen-centric governance, transparency, and welfare delivery has helped improve the quality of life for large sections of society, particularly the poor and vulnerable. He highlights how reforms and development programmes have sought to bridge gaps in access to essential services while ensuring that the benefits of government schemes reach intended beneficiaries efficiently.
The minister said the article traces the journey of good governance and public welfare under the leadership of PM Modi, emphasizing the positive changes experienced by economically weaker sections over the past 12 years. He noted that governance initiatives have aimed to improve ease of living, expand opportunities, and strengthen social security for citizens across the country.
Goyal underscores that welfare programmes implemented during this period have focused on enhancing access to housing, healthcare, sanitation, financial inclusion, digital services, and other essential facilities. These efforts, it says, have contributed to improving living standards and empowering citizens by providing greater economic and social security.
Highlighting the importance of trust between citizens and institutions, the Minister said that effective governance is built on transparency, accountability, and the consistent delivery of public services. He notes that strengthening this trust has been central to the government’s approach and has helped deepen public participation in the development process.
