Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit launched Governance Now, a fortnightly magazine and web portal, at a well-attended inaugural event in the capital on January 27.

The chief minister complimented the Governance Now promoters for launching the "first-of-its-kind" publication in the country. She said the venture was timely especially because the expectations of the people from government were changing fast, "from merely casting the vote to keeping a constant vigil".

The chief minister released the special inaugural issue, “For A Place In My Republic”. A panel discussion was also held on Governance in a Connected World.

Governance Now, with B V Rao as the editor, focuses on issues that impact governance across the country. Along with ground reportage and analyses, Governance Now regularly engage with politicians, policy-makers, think tanks and academia to provoke constructive debate on ideas to shape governance.
