Question

What are the three levels of government in India?

Answer 1

Hint: India was ruled by Britain and got independence in 1947. After that, they drew up a Constitution and formed a government, drawing inspiration from the organization of Britain's government and governments like that of the United States.

Complete solution:

A Government is necessary for every country in order to make decisions and get things done starting from decisions regarding where to build roads and schools, or how to reduce the price of veggies when they get too expensive or ways for increasing the electricity supply. Governments also take actions on social issues and other important things like running postal and railway services. At the same time, the Government is also in charge of protecting the boundaries of the country and maintaining peaceful and healthy relations with other countries. For efficient and effective functioning of the law and order in the country, three levels of governments are there in India.

Government functions in three different levels: at the local level (means in a village or town locality), at the level of the state (covering an entire state like Haryana or Assam) and at the national level (relating to the whole country).

The powers are divided between these three levels of the government for flexible and effective management of the administration of the country.

The local level is said to be the lowest level of the government whereas the national level is referred to as the highest level of the government.

Note:

In a vast country like India which is rich in diversities of languages, religions, customs, traditions and lifestyles it is very tough to have a single unified administrative set up. Thus, we have three separate levels of government with assigned powers and functions in India.
