India’s President Ram Nath Kovind on Friday said that transparency is the most important aspect of good governance in a democratic system. He termed the new Darbar hall at Mumbai’s Raj Bhavan a symbol of new India, new Maharashtra and India’s vibrant democracy.
“Transparency is the most important aspect of good governance in a democratic system. The modern concept of the Darbar promotes transparency. The method of connecting with the people through the Janata Darbar by the public authorities is becoming popular. Thus, this Darbar Hall, in a new context, is a symbol of our new India, new Maharashtra and our vibrant democracy,” said Mr. Kovind, after inaugurating the newly built Darbar hall at State Governor’s residence Raj Bhavan in Mumbai. He was joined at the podium by Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, deputy CM Ajit Pawar and State’s Public Works Department Minister Ashok Chavan.
