We can never put government v/s governance. Governance is very
much a part of government and the two should never be confused.
The difference between the two is the same as the difference
between a pilgrim and pilgrimage.
Government is a set of people who are formulating rules and laws
for us in order to maintain law and order conditions in the
country and look into the grievances of the people. It consists of
permanent as well as temporary members. Permanent is the
bureaucracy who works in the background in various ministries
and government departments and serve throughout. These are
non-elected like the civil servants. In the other hand, temporary is
the PM and his council of ministers who are elected by the people
and serve a fixed duration and can be replaced.

The difference between “government” and “governance” may be


clarified using an example of a business which is run by a group of
people. The rules and regulations which they follow in order to run the
business successfully are called the management. This involves the
experience and the knowledge of the owners working together with the
employees to meet the set target. On a similar pattern, the government
is a body of elected representatives which is headed by a single person.
This body makes use of established rules and a principle to efficiently
run the affairs of the country in favor of the people of the nation is called
governance.
