Question:
What do you mean by the term institution? Why are they required?
Answer:
Several arrangements are made in all modern democracies to perform various tasks. Such arrangements are called institutions. Some of the tasks performed by these institutions are:
1. To ensure security to the citizens and provide facilities for education and health to all.
2. To collect taxes and spend the money thus raised on administration, defence and development programmes.
3. To formulate and implement several welfare schemes.
4. To solve the disputes: if they arise on various decisions or on their implementation. A democracy works well when the various institutions perform functions assigned to them.
