Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday told the administration to focus on “ease of living” and said that good governance in a state is proven when citizens get the benefits of services without delay.

Speaking at the launch of District Good Governance Index, 2024 report, Fadnavis said, “The development of a state is based on ease of living. Therefore, the government has always worked on improving it. Good governance of a state is realised when citizens get the benefits of government services without delay. And this good governance is important to take the state’s economy to one trillion mark.”

Adding that governance should be transparent, efficient and people-centric, the CM said, “Ultimately for a government, how many projects we carry is not important but how we govern.”
