Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow based on your understanding of the passage.

Government is very sensitive to the expectations of the people and sincere efforts in this direction have already been initiated. Good governance is an overarching component of the agenda of our Government which has taken measures to make administration accountable, responsive and transparent through Citizen Charters to signify the visible commitment for quality service and attention to grievance, review of administrative laws and regulations for dismantling procedures and red tape by repeal or amendment of outdated and obsolescent laws, regulations and procedures that mystify and confuse the people, creating the environment to reap the benefits of IT by harnessing IT, setting up of Information and Facilitation Counters, and formulation of a Freedom of Information Bill. The Government has to become a learning organization. It has to lead business and industry in the emerging competitive world. The coming millenium is going to be one of information, science, technology, growth and competition. To face the emerging challenges, systems thinking is essential. It is also necessary to involve the people as well as the employees in this effort through a shared vision. Personal mastery by individuals should be encouraged. For this, change in the existing mental models in many areas are required. The present culture of competition between individuals has to be replaced by competition between teams and organizations.
