WORKING OF INSTITUTIONS
LESSON OBJECTIVE
Define the term Executive.To differ between permanent and public executive.
To learn about the powers and functions of the prime minister.
What is Executive?– At different levels of any government we find functionaries
who take day-to-day decisions but do not exercise supreme power on behalf of the people.
– All those functionaries are collectively known as the executive. They are called executive because they are in charge of the ‘execution’ of the policies of the government.
What is Executive?– A body of persons having authority to initiate major policies,
make decisions and implement them on the basis of the Constitution and laws of the country.
– The executive has two categories: Political executive & Permanent executive
POLITICAL EXECUTIVE– The political executive consists of
political leaders who are elected by the people for a specific term.
– The political executive includes the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers.
– The President appoints the leader of the majority, or the coalition party that has a majority in the Lok Sabha, as the Prime Minister.
PERMANENT EXECUTIVE– The permanent executive includes
members who are appointed on a long-term basis.
– The permanent executive is also called the civil services. The political executive has more powers and the final say in all important decisions as they are the representatives of the people.
Why does the political executive have more power than the permanent executive?
– The reason is very simple. In a democracy the will of the people is supreme.
– The minister is elected by the people and thus empowered to exercise the will of the people on their behalf. She is finally answerable to the people for all the consequences of her decision.
– That is why the minister takes all the final decisions. The minister decides the overall framework and objectives in which decisions on policy should be made.
– The minister is not, and is not expected to be, an expert in the matters of her ministry.
