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.
