What does executive mean?
Share
(i) At different levels of any government, we find functionaries who take
day-to-day decisions but do not exercise supreme powers on behalf of
the people.
(ii) All those functionaries are collectively known as executive.
(iii) They are called executive because they are in charge of the ‘execution’ of
the policies of the government.
Thus, when we talk about ‘the government’ we usually mean ‘executive’.
