Grassroots Democracy - Part 1: Governance
Chapter 10 of the Class 6 NCERT social science textbook, Exploring Society: India and Beyond, introduces governance as the way societies take and carry out decisions. Learners meet the three levels of government in India, Union, State and local, and understand why power is shared among them. The chapter explains what democracy asks of citizens, from voting to following rules, and shows how even children experience governance in families, classrooms and school councils before meeting local government in the chapters ahead.
