A state government plans to deliver a livelihood scheme in 200 villages. It can (i) deliver entirely through its departments, or (ii) partner with registered societies and self-help groups for last-mile delivery while retaining funding, norms and monitoring. Which approach reflects the collaborative model of social governance, and why?

The second approach reflects collaborative social governance because the government keeps funding, standards and monitoring while registered societies and self-help groups provide last-mile reach. Responsibility is shared, not transferred entirely, and partnering with non-corporate entities is permitted, so exclusive departmental delivery is not the only accountable method.

  1. AOption (ii), because it combines State resources and standards with the community reach of non-corporate entitiesCorrect
  2. BOption (i), because only departments can ensure accountability
  3. COption (ii), because the government thereby transfers all responsibility to the societies
  4. DOption (i), because partnering with non-corporate entities is prohibited

Explanation

Collaborative governance keeps the State responsible for funding, norms and monitoring while using societies and SHGs for local reach. Option C is wrong because responsibility is not transferred wholesale. Options B and D are wrong since partnerships are permissible and widely used.
