Welcome back to THE IAS COMPANION,

In India's parliamentary system, the Council of Ministers, led by the Prime Minister, is the real executive authority. Mandated by Articles 74 and 75 of the Constitution, it aids and advises the President, whose actions are bound by its counsel. The Council comprises Cabinet Ministers, Ministers of State, and Deputy Ministers, collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha. Operating under principles of collective and individual responsibility, it formulates policies, manages crises, and advises the President. The "Inner Cabinet" or "Kitchen Cabinet" serves as an informal advisory group. Overall, the Council plays a pivotal role in India's governance and decision-making processes. #UPSC #IASprep #civilserviceexam #IASexamination #IASaspirants #UPSCjourney #IASexam #civilservice #IASgoals #UPSC2024 #IAS2024 #civilservant #IAScoaching #aUPSCmotivation #IASmotivation #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAStips #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAStips #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity
