The word government refers to a governing body that makes decisions and gets things done for the welfare of its citizens.
Five ways in which the government affects our daily life:
- It takes decisions such as where to build roads and schools, how to reduce the price of onions when they get too expensive etc.
- It takes action on many social issues.
- It runs postal and railway services.
- It is responsible for ensuring that all its citizens have enough to eat and have good health facilities.
- In case of are natural disasters like the tsunami or an earthquake, government organises aid and assistance for the affected people.
