The India Forum released a statement titled 'When Elections Are Not Enough', arguing that elections alone cannot resolve all societal challenges.
The India Forum, a policy think‑tank, published a statement titled "When Elections Are Not Enough" outlining its view on the role of elections in democratic governance.
The statement emphasizes that while elections are a fundamental democratic process, they do not automatically translate into effective governance or address deeper systemic issues such as inequality, corruption, and public service delivery.
The forum urges the adoption of complementary measures—policy reforms, enhanced civic engagement, and stronger accountability mechanisms—to ensure that electoral outcomes lead to tangible improvements in society.
