Governance for Growth in India

At every election, you have to choose the best candidate among the contestants based on their work and contribution to society. Your right to vote is precious and to exercise your franchise is essential. By doing so, you as a citizen are helping to evolve a good government at the Center or State.- A. P. J. Abdul Kalam. As India chooses its 16th Lok Sabha in 2014 and voters across the country are debating and discussing matters related to governance and elections, this book, from someone who has observed our national life at close quarters, is a visionary statement for every citizen to read and understand. Dr A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, who was Indias eleventh President and has been a scientist, a technocrat, a teacher and thinker, brings his vast experience and keen eye for detail to bear in discussing various aspects of governance. He articulates a vision for India and what each citizen must do to make it a reality-it is only by being honest, morally upright and by working hard that we can achieve the mission of a developed India. Dr Kalam also proposes realistic, step-by-step solutions to issues of corruption, governance and accountability. Optimistic, progressive and positive, he dreams of an India that can achieve wholesome development for every citizen. Farsighted yet practical, Governance for Growth in India is a timely road map for every citizen to imbibe so that they can exercise their franchise in a thoughtful, analytical manner and bring about real change in India
