CSDC conducted a discussion on progress of democracy in India over the years. Participants from North and North – Eastern parts of India participated in a fruitful discussion.

In the world’s largest democracy, the government’s tenure is a reflection of the people’s choice, and it underscores the principles of free and fair elections, the rule of law, and the protection of fundamental rights. During this period, we have seen democracy in action, with a government elected by the people, for the people, and accountable to the people. Robust political debates, a free press, and active civil society organizations continue to play a pivotal role in shaping policies and holding leaders accountable.

Furthermore, initiatives like Digital India and Aadhaar have improved the efficiency of governance, making services more accessible to citizens and enhancing transparency. The government’s commitment to financial inclusion and social welfare programs has aimed to uplift the marginalized and disadvantaged segments of society.

While we appreciate the democratic processes at work, it’s essential to remember that democracy thrives when diverse voices are heard and respected, and when the fundamental rights of all citizens are upheld. The democratic journey is ongoing, and as India progresses, it remains crucial to safeguard the principles and values that underpin its democratic fabric.
