The test of Good Governance is to promote physical, social and spiritual development of the people. Governance is the manner in which authority, control and power of government is exercised in mobilising the society’s economic and social resources to address the issues of public interest. In this backdrop, this book seeks to enunciate the concept of good governance as laid out in ancient Sanskrit literature, as the comprehensive and ultimate solution to achieve the ideal state of bliss and overcome the crisis in administration. The foundation of good governance in Sanskrit literature is based on Dharma (righteousness) which immediately distinguishes it from the present materialistic approach. Sanskrit literature constitutes a magnificent repository of values which can ensure achievement of administrative excellence. The book liberally quotes shlokas and verses from Sanskrit literature and teachings of spiritual and religious leaders.
