Purpose: The government believes in minimum government and maximum governance; the study is an attempt to examine it by analysing aspects relating to social security and social justice; prisons and prisons’ occupancy; corruption and bribery rate; judiciary and pressure on judiciary highlighting pendency at different courts. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study is exploratory and descriptive in nature. The data for the study has been drawn from government policy documents, published reports, and research studies and publications. The study is presented in five parts. Current economic scenario and prospects are contained in part one. The second part discusses aspects relating to social security and social justice; it also deals with norms relating to legislatures; prisons and prisons’ occupancy; corruption and bribery rate; judiciary and pressure on judiciary. Findings: Financial inclusion is in the progressive stage though is not very bright and the number of districts in states is below par bank branches. India’s ranking on the ease of doing business (EoDB) has improved to 63 ranks and has an objective to enhance it to 50. Research Limitations: The major limitation of the study is that the study is limited to the extensive review. Managerial Implications: The managerial implications reflect the following policy changes: (a) Universal Basic Income (UBI) promising farmers and the poor Rs. 6,000 pa, should be on top of public health and education to make a direct transfer to an individual’s bank account, (b) Uniform policy on the bonanza announced by political parties in their election manifesto, (c) Simultaneous elections for the states and the Union, (d) Politics does not impinge on the laid-out economic policies. Originality/Value: The study showcased the original work of the authors in the discussing the policy issue with respect to Governance.
