Centre to celebrate 'Good Governance Day' on Christmas

NEW DELHI: The department of electronics and information technology (DeitY) of the government of India has announced an event to mark "Good Governance Day" on Prime Minister A B Vajpayee's birthday on December 25, even as the Centre is yet to firm up its overall plans for the day.

A senior IAS officer indicated that DeitY has sent out a communication to government officials regarding the event titled "Good Governance through e-Governance', which will comprise the main function with minister for communications & IT Ravi Shankar Prasad as the chief guest, and a day-long exhibition (from 10.45 am to 5.00 pm). The mail invites the officers to participate by offering suggestions on e-governance and visiting the exhibition. However, the officer said the participation is meant to be voluntary.

The "Good Governance Day" will coincide with Christmas, a gazetted holiday. Recently, a circular from the HRD ministry asking schools to observe Good Governance Day by organizing various events like debates had kicked up a storm, with the Opposition parties criticizing the alleged move to keep schools open on Christmas holiday. The government had, however, denied any plans to make the day a working day for schools and other educational institutions.

Incidentally, the DoPT has not put out any circular yet indicating how Good Governance Day is to be celebrated by various government ministries and departments.

There is speculation that government employees may have to report to work on Christmas holiday to be part of government's Good Governance Day celebrations. "So far, no formal communication to this effect has been put out by the DoPT," a senior officer said, keeping his fingers crossed.
