The incidence and mortality of the coronavirus-2019 disease have increased dramatically around the world. The effects of COVID-19 pandemic are not limited to health, but also have a major impact on the social and economic aspects. Meanwhile, developing and less developed countries are arguably experiencing more severe crises than developed countries, with many small and medium-sized businesses being disrupted and even bankrupt (Fernandes 2020). Consequently, some individuals' mental health is very fragile (Lin 2020). Sahoo et al. ( 2020) reported some of the psychological consequences in India (the neighboring country of Bangladesh) including self-harm due to COVID-19 misinformation. Moreover, impacts on mental health (e.g., depression, anxiety, panic, and traumatic stress) can also occur due to the lack of accurate information (Rajkumar 2020; Sahoo et al. 2020; Tandon 2020).In addition, pandemic-related restraints (e.g., spatial distancing, isolation, home quarantine, etc.) is impacting on economic sustainability and well-being, which may induce psychological mediators, such as sadness, worry, fear, anger, annoyance, frustration, guilt, helplessness, loneliness, and nervousness (Mukhtar 2020; Mamun and Griffiths 2020a). These mediators are also distinctive features of psychological suffering that individuals can experience during and after pandemics (Ahorsu et al. 2020;Pakpour and Griffiths 2020). Without early economic interventions, such mental health issues can facilitate suicidal behaviors among some

“…The country is even now in emerging situations because of its mal organization or mal functionalization of democracy and uncontrolled corruption, it is wounded also by lobbying of public services for low minded individual, group, and political motive. Politicization of public amenities is an ongoing exercise, meanwhile from the beginning of Bangladesh in 1971 as an independent state (Khan & Islam, 2015). The main features are-lack of democratic exercise, corruption, and politicization of public facilities and the absence of civil society's participation are thoroughly interconnected with the exercise of governance and the attitude of attaining good governance.…”

“…Therefore, the failure of institutionalization of democratic governance schemes to create the road more unsettled for governance. It is essential to talk over the causes behind why the institutionalization of democratic governance scheme is one of the key trials to the governance issue of Bangladesh (Khan & Islam, 2015).

“…A provocative political position of two main political parties has directed towards a condition where every person discovers him/herself in a problematic position.

Democratic governance has tried to be institutionalized as speedily as probable.…”

“…Later, after the liberty of Bangladesh in 1971, has witnessed various ascendancy in the governance structure as democracy endured as a democratic scheme was rotated within a one-party megalith; and consecutive military leaders inaugurated a dictatorial structure inside the society. In this prospect, countless efforts have been taken by researchers, consultants, and academia to make a connection between governance and democracy which have exhibited that those two thoughts are mutually to one another and support a state to be a feasible one in obtaining its total progressive objectives (Khan & Islam, 2015). In the meantime, the word 'good governance' was carried interest as the focus point by international donors and financial organizations.…”

Nowadays governance remains a multi-dimensional concept. It may be termed as a totality of issues reliant on the person concerned about and his/her individual perception of practicality. Good governance cannot be attained, except holding the attention of its vibrant interactions with democratization advantages, the civil rights situation, the state of pro-active improvement and the role of government strategies and programs in a specific nation-state. Here, supposed to be a means of consciousness which seems good governance is beneficial due to its various favourable belongings. Good governance simplifies communal and economic progress and concentrates on its surroundings where social privileges are appreciated. Responsibility, competence, effectiveness, and sustainability can affect people’s involvement, which is subsequently vigorous for good governance. On the local area, shared improvement has been associated with good governance. It is correspondingly understood that participatory growth is not thinkable excluding the existence of a vigorous civil society. Democratization in the logic of providing reasonable chances for taking part in political lifespan may closely relate to good governance also. The mode with which good governance has been represented is evidently lacking in Bangladesh. The views that keep an eye on the essence typically consider looking over the prevailing state of concerns vis-a-vis good governance. In observing the current state of affairs, we inquire the question about how much good governance is at all possible. In reply to this question, the importance is engaged in good governance’s interconnections with the formation of fresh from of democracy, reinforcement of bureaucracy, combating corruption and rising civil society participation viewpoints.
