Grassroots Democracy & Governance | NCERT Class 6 Social Science Chapter 10

In this video, we begin the Civics/Polity section of the new Class 6 NCERT (Chapter 10). We break down the fundamental structure of how India is governed, moving from the "rule of law" to the specific roles of government bodies. 📝 What You Will Learn: • Governance vs. Government: The difference between the process of decision-making and the system that enforces it. • The 3 Organs of State: ◦ Legislature: The body that makes the laws (Parliament/Assemblies). ◦ Executive: The body that implements laws (Ministers, Police). ◦ Judiciary: The system that punishes law-breakers and checks the other two organs. • Separation of Powers: How "Checks and Balances" prevent any one group from becoming too powerful. • The 3 Tiers: Understanding the Local, State, and Central levels of government. • Democracy: The difference between Direct Democracy (raising hands in class) and Representative Democracy (electing MLAs/MPs),. • Case Study: Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and the concept of a "Nominal Head" (President) vs. "Executive Head" (PM),.
