Good Governance Day (Hindi: सुशासन दिवस, IAST: Suśāsan Divas)[1] is observed in India annually on the twenty-fifth day of December, the birth anniversary of former-Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.[2][3] Good Governance Day was established in 2014 to honor Prime Minister Vajpayee by fostering awareness among the Indian people of accountability in government.[4]

In keeping with this principle, the Government of India has decreed Good Governance Day to be a working day for the government.[5]
