Governance, Efficiency and Effectiveness in GujaratIn The Making of Miracles in Indian States, edited by Panagariya, Arvind and Rao, Govinda M., New York: Oxford University Press, 2015, 311-319Archana Dholakia and Ravindra H. Dholakia
The
chapter shows that the use of modern technology and management principles in
delivery of public services and several reforms including judicial reforms have
improved transparency, accountability and interdepartmental coordination in
administration. Various illustrations suggest how the state’s efficiency is
hampered by the center’s unilateral policies, particularly when a different
political party rules the latter. The state has performed well in terms of
quality of governance, efficiency, and effectiveness to win the confidence of
the domestic and global private sector. The revealed comparative advantage
enjoyed by the state in several diverse economic activities indicates that such
an advantage is more on account of the economic environment created by the good
governance rather than any specific resource base. Progress and achievements of
the state on different fronts especially after 2003 establishes the role of
effective leadership provided by the Chief Minister Narendra Modi
