How does the permanent executive assist decisions of the political executive?

Correct answer: By administratively implementing policies

Correct answer: A. The permanent executive consists mainly of civil servants who remain in office even when elected governments change. They possess administrative experience, technical knowledge, and familiarity with rules and procedures. The political executive decides the broad direction of policy, while officials help convert those decisions into programmes, orders, services, and day-to-day administration. Thus, implementation is the main assistance described here. Option A is correct because policies need an organised administration to reach citizens. Option B is wrong because civil servants do not remove the Prime Minister; political support and constitutional processes determine that. Option C is wrong because the permanent executive does not arrange elections for the President. Option D is wrong because the Lok Sabha is a legislative house, not a court. Memory cue: elected leaders decide the direction; permanent officials help the machinery move.
