Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu urged the governors to actively “monitor and guide” the state governments in the implementation of central programmes. He was addressing a conference of Governors and Lieutenant Governors in Delhi on Thursday.
Governors should follow the philosophy of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Prayas” (support for all through the effort of all), he said.
Referring to the vast experience of Governors in public life, Shri Naidu emphasized that they have a vital role to play in shaping and executing policies, ensuring effective use of scarce resources and ensuring integrity and ethics in public life. “Governors and Lt Governors should act not only as constitutional authority but also as a moral authority of a great statesman,” said Mr. Naidu.
Governance and public life should be marked by strict adherence to the philosophy and provision of the Constitution.
