Answer: 

Transparency as a pre- requisite for good governance:

  1. It empowers citizens by informing them about their rights and responsibilities. E.g. Citizen Charter.
  2. Transparency reduces asymmetry of information and ensures accountability of government
  3. Openness enhances people’s participation though tools such as social audit
  4. It makes the decision makers more conscious of their choices, thereby bringing more objectivity and fairness in their decisions. E.g. Mother’s committee has led to better implementation of the Mid-Day Meal program.

According to 2nd ARC informed citizenry ensures good governance and participatory democracy.
