The research question for this study is: Is there a relationship between economic development and inclusive governance? What factors affect the implementation of the Bhartiya model of inclusive governance? How has the Bhartiya inclusive governance model improved people's living standards and economic growth? Do the schemes and policies available under the institution provide ample scope for people to participate in governance? Is the current status of inclusive governance giving enough opportunities to people? How do governance factors manifest themselves in and shape the processes and outcomes of delivering selected services? Inclusive governance facilitates the identification of innovative solutions to complex problems, thus leading to more effective and sustainable policies.
