HOW THE STATE GOVERNMENT WORKS, for grade 7
STATE GOVERNMENT A unit of government that specifically makes and enforces laws for a state is called state government.
CENTRAL GOVERNMENT - The government that helps absolute supremacy over a unitary state is called central government.
THREE LEVELS Our Govt. works at three levels - Local, State and National The government that works at the local level is called the local government. The government that works at the state level is called the state government. The government that works at the national level is called the national government. LOCAL STATE NATIONA L
GOVT. AT DIFFERENT LEVELS
MLA Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) - Those representative elected by the voters of an electoral district (constituency) to the legislature of the state government are called MLAs. MLAs are elected by the people. They represent people. Each state in India has a legislative assembly. Each state is divided into different areas called constituencies. From each constituency the people elect one representative who then becomes an MLA. These MLAs belong to different parties.
RULING PARTY & OPPOSITION A political party with more MLAs will form the government. It will be called as the ruling party. Other parties which oppose the ruling party are called the opposition.
FORMING THE CABINET The Chief Minister is elected by the MLAs of the ruling party. The Chief Minister then selects other members as ministers. The Governor of the state appoints the Chief Minister and other ministers. Some MLAs will have dual responsibilities: as an MLA & also as a Minister
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY It is a place where all the MLAs, whether from the ruling party or from the opposition meet to discuss various things. * During a discussion in the Legislative Assembly, the MLAs can express their views on any current problems, ask questions and give suggestions. The problems might be regarding the condition of roads, hospitals or any other matter affecting the lives of the people. The minister then replies and gives an assurance to the Assembly that the concerns will be addressed.
ESSENCE OF DEMOCRACY The chief minister and other ministers take decision to run the government. However, whatever decision is taken have to be approved by the Council of Ministers. This is the essence of democracy: where the members have a right to ask questions and debate on topics. Chief Minister - An elected or appointed head of state government is called chief minister. Legislature: All the MLAs who gather together (assemble) in the Legislative Assembly are called the Legislature. They are the ones who authorize and supervise their work.
EXECUTIVE & WORKING OF THE GOVERNMENT The overall head of the government is called the Executive. The Legislative Assembly is not the only place where the work of the government is analyzed and raised questions. All newspapers and media widely discuss current issues and the government has to respond. Eg: conducting a press conference
The Ministers have to take steps for solving problems of drinking water, sanitation, health, road construction etc.. They do so through various departments like Public Works Department, Health Department, Industries dept and so on.
MAKE NEW LAWS The government can also decide to make new laws for the state, for example regarding water supply or electricity. For instance, it may make it compulsory for the municipal corporation to ensure that there are sufficient schools and toilets The act of making new laws is made in the legislative assembly of each state. The implementation of these laws is done by the various government departments.
