Democracy Rides a Bus
Samud, Kolipakkam,
In Delhi, the government runs a scheme called " Bhagidari" in which the public are invited to plan and participate in the managment of several government schemes and that is a huge success. It is not neccesary that every body has to turn up for a meeting. There are many Citizens' Groups and NGOs that take up these issues, opinions are expressed on line, through the media and in many other ways. It may be true that no group will represent every one in society but the base of people consulted definitely becomes broader.
