Abstract:
Kautilya, the first great Indian economist, recognized the importance of economic and social welfare in economic development. In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyze the Kautilya's philosophy on matters related to economic and social welfare. Arthashastra shows various measures that State used to adapt to protect its citizens in ancient India. These measures are highly relevant to modern times also. Kautilya's views were that welfare of people should be the supreme concern of State. He stressed the importance of fair trade practices. He also laid down fines for adulteration and supply of goods of an inferior quality. The understanding of economic and social welfare by Kautilya has been found throughout the Arthashastra.
