 *INTRODUCTION:*

Social media sites have changed the ways in which we interact. It has
provided enormous opportunities not only for personal networking but also
at the organizational level. Keeping in view the huge user base of social
websites, they can be a potential platform for governments not only for
information dissemination but also to mobilize and support citizens.
Similarly citizens can connect governmental and political institutions
using social media.  As a result, content generation and collaboration on
social media provides new challenges for governance and politics. Social
media usage by government has mainly been limited to developed countries
but now governments in developing countries are also gradually adopting it.

the role of social media in modern day governance. We intend to contribute
