India is the second most populous country in the world. It is a magnum opus
task to conduct elections in our country. Every political party promises to give
good governance, socio - economic equality, and the eradication of poverty. But
few corrupted politicians, those who have criminal background adopt illegal
practices to manage the voters. These practices are making fun of the democracy.
Even though there are some problems in the democratic process, many
examples of sincere and dedicated politicians made our democracy proud.

Explanation:For the first time in history, the number of people living in extreme poverty has fallen below 10%. The world has never been as ambitious about development as it is today. After adopting the Sustainable Development Goals and signing the Paris climate deal at the end of 2015, the global community is now looking into the best and most effective ways of reaching these milestones. In this five-part series I will discuss what the World Bank Group is doing and what we are planning to do in key areas that are critical for ending poverty by 2030: good governance, gender equality, conflict and fragility, creating jobs, and, finally, preventing and adapting to climate change.
Twenty years ago, the World Bank took up the fight against corruption as an integral part of reducing poverty, hunger, and disease. The decision was groundbreaking then and remains valid today. Corruption diverts resources from the poor to the rich, leads to a culture of bribes, and distorts public expenditures, deterring foreign investors and hampering economic growth.
But, in some ways, corruption is only a symptom. Anti-corruption must be paired with efforts to enable governments to govern openly and fairly, to provide services and security to their citizens, and create an environment that fosters jobs and economic growth.
These are the attributes of good governance and effective institutions, and helping countries achieve them is a major focus of our work in low-income countries around the world.
Here are three ways we are going about it.
We focus on institution-building.
Prosperity and the quality of a country’s institutions typically go hand in hand. Governments with well-run, accountable institutions are better able to deliver public goods and support an environment that can generate jobs and growth.
Public sector performance is particularly important to the world’s poorest people, who rely disproportionately on government services, and improving service delivery is essential to leaving poverty behind.
In Moldova, more than 2,200 public servants and other employees received e-government training. People can now access more than 880 government datasets and 131 electronic public services.
In Nigeria, the number of public contracts awarded through open competition grew by 85 percent in 2015, up from 20 percent growth in 2009.
