Future of Governance  (English, Hardcover, Vittal N)

"A competent and well-motivated bureaucracy is central to good governance and good governance is the foundation stone to build a progressive democratic Indian society. It is the administrative apparatus, which actually runs the government. Converting policy into directive plans, programmes and projects, without any favour or corruption, is an inevitable function of an action-oriented administration for good governance. Government agencies like CBI and CVC work as the watchdog of administration and black money in all spheres of our public life. In all, bureaucracy should be impartial, competent, politically neutral and imbibed with the service to the community. Padma Bhushan N Vittal was able to draw national attention by utilizing the Information Technology in 2000, to expose and check corruption. That was when as CVC, he published on the website of the CVC, the list of most senior corrupt public servants belonging to the All India Services and Central Services in the Government of India and the top executives of Banks, particularly officers of revenue departments like Income Tax, Customs and Excise. Author has been able to journey through the entire spectrum of governance and played a key role in the public administration in governments in the State and at the Centre. In this book he describes his administrative experiences in detail - State governments, central government, public sector undertakings (PSUs) and his personal life from the very beginning. Future of Governance is an extremely valuable book for politicians, administrators, policy-makers, whistleblowers and students of public administration."
