Question

Mention departments to which the chief minister and other ministers do their work and take action.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Legislative Assembly is not the only place where the work of the government is analyzed and questions raised. All newspapers and media widely discuss current issues and the government has to respond for example, by holding press conferences.

The people in power like the chief minister have to take steps for solving problems of drinking water, sanitation, road condition etc. They do so through various departments like

   Public Works Department

   Health Department

   Agriculture Department

   Education Department and so on.

The government can also decide to make new laws for the state for example regarding sanitation and health facilities. For instance, it may make it compulsory for the municipal corporation to ensure that there are adequate toilets in each area. 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. Laws for the entire country are made in the Parliament.
