In the present study, precincts have been identified and primary surveys e.g., reconnaissance survey and governance survey have been used for the data collection and analysis. This research paper highlights the governance issues faced by organizations   and citizens and identifies the areas which need to be addressed for holistic development. Moreover, it pinpoints the parameters that need to be used for the improvement of governance.
