The governments both central and state have implemented a number of schemes particularly for rural development. It needs to be noted whether the goal of development has been achieved, whether the rural community is satisfied with the performance of the government, and whether people are reeling under the pressure of mal- governance. It needs to be checked what are the main factors for the mal- governance if any, and what steps should be taken at rural level to make the governance more effective, accountable and responsible. Responses to the queries can be obtained from the common people. Therefore an empirical methodology has been used in an attempt to extract the view point of the common people in respect of good governance and dignify of life. The government has schemes. In order to empirically check it a random samples have been gathered and they have been provided a close structure schedule for the purpose. Mostly respondents denied they revealed due to the dominant attitude of bureaucracy people’s participation is marginal and corruption is rampant. A weak will power and unwanted political interference are the main reason why bureaucracy has failed in achieving the developmental goals.
