Federalism
संघवाद
This Class 10 Civics chapter explains federalism as a system in which power is shared between two or more levels of government. Students learn how federal and unitary systems differ, how constitutional divisions of authority work, and why cooperation between national, state and local governments matters. Using India’s experience with linguistic states, language policy and decentralisation, the chapter shows how federal arrangements accommodate diversity, strengthen democracy and support participation at the grassroots level.
