Democracy is a political system in which the head of the State is elected one without hereditary rights. This system of governance is significant as all groups have access to the political system and the interests and demands of the minority community are also considered. Democracy could fulfill it's purpose best when the citizens are aware and alert while making their choices through the vote. And, that is possible only when the people are educated, they could understand the problems, issues, as well as needs of the society, and could judge whether the person contesting for the election could take the responsibility as a leader.
In a democracy, citizens could openly express their opinions. They are given more freedom than any other form of government.
To mark the importance of Democracy and highlight it's principles and values, International Day of Democracy is observed on 15th September every year, since 2008, worldwide. This year, International Day of Democracy will be observed on the theme "Importance of media freedom to democracy, peace, and delivering on the sustainable development goals."
