The rule of law, democracy and good governance are very much interrelated. The framework of the rule of law serves as the foundation for a democratic society. Democracy, the rule of law and good governance are the key elements that are imperative for the existence of an “ideal state”. Democracy provides a conducive and stimulating environment for the rule of law to thrive, while the rule of law sustains democracy. Good governance, on the other hand, promotes and strengthens both democracy and the rule of law in every modern society.

The Constitution of Indi supports rule of law and due process of law, but unfortunately the country has achieved little success to reap fruits of these legal terms. The rule of law, democracy and good governance are at the heart of Vision & Mission of TLROI. TLROI promotes rule of law, democracy and good governance in India and is helping to ensure, economic equality, fairness and civic participation. TLROI works with government and its institutions to advance democracy, good governance and rule of law in the country. TLROI believes that rule of law, democracy and good governance are the major features of any civilized society and their absence often degenerates to dictatorship and authoritarianism.
