ABSTRACT The current situation across the globe has made us reflect on state and Government during emergency times. Series of questions have raised about the governance aspect of organizations associated with the management of COVID-19. Based on this context, this article argues that the idea of governance lacks human-centric values and this has impacted the functionality aspect of governance, especially at the time of the novel coronavirus outbreak. Discrepancies in different tiers of the governance system resulted in producing health-related stigmas and discriminatory behaviors toward particular sections of the population like the migrant people. It suffices the need for recasting in the concept of governance concerning pandemic. The study further taking instances from Assam based on primary and secondary sources tries to show the loopholes in state-level governance functionality in terms of providing care during the health crisis. Moreover, it will look into the possibilities of a more efficient form of governance where the potentiality of Panchayati Raj institutions (PRIs) in bringing care and trust at the community level will be explored.

大流行时期重塑治理：以阿萨姆邦为例

摘要 全球当前的形势使我们在紧急时刻反思国家和政府。关于与 COVID-19 管理相关的组织的治理方面提出了一系列问题。基于此背景，本文认为治理理念缺乏以人为本的价值观，这影响了治理的功能性方面，尤其是在新型冠状病毒爆发时。治理体系不同层级的差异导致对流动人口等特定人群产生与健康相关的污名和歧视行为。足以满足疫情治理理念的重塑需要。该研究基于一手和二手资料进一步从阿萨姆邦获取实例，试图显示州级治理功能在健康危机期间提供护理方面的漏洞。此外，它将探讨更有效的治理形式的可能性，其中将探索 Panchayati Raj 机构 (PRI) 在社区层面带来关怀和信任的潜力。
