THE meaning of governance, according to the Oxford
Dictionary, is the action or manner of governing a State, organisation, etc.
But the ten-letter word takes hundreds of connotations when gfiles, the
undisputed leader in the print and digital segment of the media catering to
governance and bureaucracy, decides to cull out the best performers from among
the civil servants across the country and honour them. It becomes the means to reach the poorest of the poor using
science, information technology and whatever other tools available. It turns
into a channel to accomplish the pending projects at the earliest, earn revenue
from the completed ones and plan new projects for the future. It becomes the
time value of different commodities which are a bare minimum for the common man
and time value of money set aside for a project. It becomes the method of
chalking out priorities on how to serve the hoi polloi. To borrow one of Prime
Minister Narendra Modi’s favourite phrases, it becomes ‘minimum government,
maximum governance’.
