It would be naive to suggest these experiments represent a magic bullet solution to our greatest problem — the failure of accountability in public services. But they have unleashed a hopeful momentum. These experiments demonstrate the potential strength of ‘collaborations’ between civil society and Government in strengthening transparency and accountability.

If these innovations are encouraged and allowed to flourish, the NREGA will offer us more than guaranteed employment. It may well guarantee us better and, on an optimistic day, good governance!
