It involves not only the state, but also the civil society at the local, regional, national and global levels. & MEANING OF GOVERNANCE The concept of governance is not new.The word Governance came from the Latin word Gubernare or more originally from the Greek word"Kubernaein” which means'“to steer"(to guide) In ancient times the Greek philosopher Plato also used the term Governance. Even in kautilya's Arthasastra, we find the concept of Good Governance.The foundation of Good Governance is Dharma (righteousness) In Arthasastrathe king is expected to behave in a most righteous manner and the main purpose of the king is to protect Dharma. It says in the happiness of his subject lies his happiness ,in their welfare his welfare, whatever pleases him(personally) he shall not consider as good, but whatever makes his subjects happy, he shall consider good.
