What is Government?

Subject: Social Issues

Book: Civics - Class 6 (Social and Political Life - I)

Government is the institution that creates rules, implements laws, and ensures order in society. Through this topic, students learn about different levels of government—local, state, and national—and how each addresses specific issues. They also study the roles and responsibilities of elected representatives, public officials, and citizens in shaping governance. Examples may include how a local Panchayat helps manage village resources or how a state assembly passes legislation affecting education. Understanding these mechanisms empowers students to become informed citizens who can actively participate in democratic processes.
