District Good Governance Index (DGGI) of Arunachal Pradesh | current affairs today
The Arunachal Pradesh District Good Governance Index (DGGI)
The District Good Governance Index (DGGI) has emerged as a crucial tool to assess and compare governance at the district level in India. Arunachal Pradesh, a state located in the northeastern region, has implemented this innovative approach to evaluate the effectiveness of governance in its 25 districts.
DGGI: Paving the Way for Next-Generation Administrative Reforms
The District Good Governance Index, developed collaboratively by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) and the Government of Arunachal Pradesh, represents a significant step toward next-generation administrative reforms. This index provides a standardized framework for evaluating governance practices.
Arunachal Pradesh's Leading Role
Arunachal Pradesh has taken the lead by becoming the first state in the northeast region to embrace the DGGI and implement this initiative. The index assesses governance across the state's 25 districts, encompassing various sectors and utilizing a total of 65 indicators to evaluate district performance.
Ranking and Divisions
The districts of Arunachal Pradesh are divided into three categories: East, West, and Central. This division-based ranking system enhances our understanding of the governance landscape within the state, enabling targeted interventions to address specific challenges and gaps.
Promoting Effective Governance
The District Good Governance Index serves as a valuable tool to guide the state government and district administration in addressing existing gaps and formulating strategies for improvement. By fostering healthy competition among districts, the index promotes a citizen-centric approach to administration and encourages the adoption of good governance practices.
Enhancing Decision-Making
The comprehensive assessment provided by the DGGI empowers decision-makers to make well-informed choices by analyzing district performance across multiple sectors. It facilitates evidence-based decision-making, assisting policymakers in developing effective strategies and interventions to bridge gaps and enhance governance outcomes.
