Today, the Prime Minister has announced ten priority areas for the ministers to work on. In the context of realigning ministeries and departments, this should be important. Especially point number five should be interesting for us since we could certainly use it to press for disability to be brought under health and HRD departments: To provide a people-oriented government and governance. Mr Modi has often stressed that mere good governance is not enough, and that it has to be pro-people and pro-active. Good governance is putting people at the center of development process.
