✅Gs-2 : Governance- Sanchar Sathi case study- Trust based governance 🅾️Government intervention has traditionally been about Regulation (imposing rules from the top). However, in the digital age, regulation alone fails because it is opaque. The new paradigm is Trust, which is built when the government empowers the citizen to verify and act. Sanchar Saathi is the perfect example of this shift. It moves the citizen from being a passive subject of regulation to an active partner in governance. ⚜️ Sanchar Saathi, surged to the No. 1 position on the Apple App Store in India overtaking global tech heavyweights like Google Gemini and ChatGPT.Policy experts say the episode reflects a “digital contradiction” for the government where a public outcry over privacy inadvertently helped raise awareness about cybersecurity.😄 ⚠️Keep checking this channel for more updates -VK IAS interview resources channel- https://t.me/UPSC_Interviews
