India is democratic nation of a billion plus people. In a democracy, the citizens exercise their right to choose their representatives through elections. Elections provides an opportunity to make a government of our choice. Political leaders are the pillars of our government system and the public lay their valuable trust in them by electing them as their representatives.Any person needs only a few basic things to lead a dignified life. If the people co-operate with government and the government also works in the interest of the people then this nation is sure to progress. People who are not in the government can certainly intervene in it by questioning them it on various issues. A machine gives it best output when all its parts work in perfect synchronization. Similarly, our system will work smoothly only when all its constituent work in agreement with each other.A luxurious life is not what one needs, there are very basic requirements that are needed. The promise of the public to work honestly and the cooperation of the government to avail the following three amenities can make a happy nation.(1) People can promise to consume a balanced diet but in turn the state needs to see that at least the common food items are available at a reasonable rate. This can be achieved through an effective public distribution system. Millions of mouth can be fed satisfactorily the public distribution system is sound. (2) Children can assure that they go to school and work for in the direction to achieve academic and moral excellence and excellence. This can be ensured only when the state avails them schools in abundant number where children can get quality education. Schools are centres of learning. The provision for schools should be such that all the children can accommodated. Schools are the right place where children get exposed to new ideas and are given a platform to expand their creativity. Its said that a strong building requires a strong foundation, so does it go for children. Children too need a strong foundation on which they can carve their own destiny. (3) People can make an earnest effort to remain healthy but the government should provide a good health-care system for this. This will ensure a good national health. There should be at least one health centre in each area so that people need not go to distant places for the treatment of common and simple ailments. People should not suffer due to dearth of medicines or treatment. good health is the pre-requisite for all other development in an individual’s life.If the state assures the above three things then the citizens of this vast nation will not worry for their next meal and their health problems. A free mind is necessary for experimenting new things, on the contrary a mind burdened with numerous problems has limited power of imagination. Thus, the co-operation of the government and the people is essential for our nation’s progress.

Democracy, though still not present in many nations, is the most desirable form of governance the world over. it is partly so because of the fact that people can govern themselves, i.e. they can relate to the changes taking place arond them and feel responsible about making things better. But many a times when we blame our leaders for not being efficient, we forget the fact that a democracy provides us mechanisms to correct or improvise upon our political decisions. With the lok sabha elections closing in more and more people are being encouraged to vote. vote is the biggest power that a citizen has in a democracy. Improvisation can be done with help of pressure or interest groups or with movements and protests. All these are means by which we can voice our opinion. All we need is INITIATIVE!
