Abstract

                                It was Thoreau, the thinker, who said that that Government is best which governs least'. That might well have been true at a time when Government meant mainly the exercise of coercive control and authority. The success and stability of democracy depend on the notive co-operation of the people and their intelligent participation in publie affairs. The report which has recently been released by the Planning Commission is an inspiring invitation to the people to pave the way for progress and prosperity by disciplined and well-directed endeavour, and constructive, co-operative and cumulative effort.
