Leading from the front Mamata Banerjee has reinvented West Bengal to take it to the top of the SKOCH State of Governance charts in 2018. In the process, from villages to cities, Panchayat offices to chief minister's office, West Bengal has witnessed a governance transformation.
India is a land of contradictions. Digital goes hand in hand with agrarian; and modern looks well matched with traditional. And one state that seems to reflect this fabric of India in recent times is West Bengal. Clad in a white saree with blue border and the quintessential blue slippers, the leader of West Bengal is known as Mamata didi. A stranger to Mamata Banerjee’s stature wouldn’t believe in the grit she holds within but holds she does, and she holds steely determination and firebrand social activism. Leading from the front, Mamata Banerjee has reinvented West Bengal and in the process, from villages to cities, Panchayat offices to chief minister’s office, the state has witnessed a governance transformation in ways unprecedented.
The fourth largest state economy in India, growing at 15.64 per cent, West Bengal is leading the charge along the growth curve of India. The state is the perfect blend of economic strength and dynamism, with a strong consumer base, vibrant industry, large talent pool, industryfriendly policies, transparent governance and record social and physical infrastructure development. So, it is no surprise that the state of West Bengal has emerged the topper this year from 9th position in 2017 and 14th position in 2016 SKOCH State of Governance ranking.
As part of the State of Governance study, SKOCH sent request letters and also contacted through different channels like telephones and emails to all ministries, departments, municipalities, district administration and other government bodies for sharing project details and their achievements. There was overwhelming response from across the government departments and organisations of West Bengal. A total number of 44 projects were shortlisted from West Bengal for further assessment and evaluation. All of these projects were thoroughly studied and examined by domain experts. Based on the detailed study of these projects, West Bengal topped the overall ranking and also in several sectoral ranking including Finance and Revenue, Urban Development, Rural Development, Tourism and Culture and Governance.
