• Federalism is a system of government in which the power is divided between a central authority and various constituent units of the country.
• There are two or more levels of government in a federal system.
• Different tiers of government govern the same citizens, but each tier has its own jurisdiction in specific matters of legislation, taxation, and administration.
• The jurisdictions of the respective levels or tiers of government are specified in the constitution.
• Levels of government in India are:
  • Union government
  • State government
  • Panchayati Raj
• Panchayati Raj is the third tier of the government.
• It comes under the feature of federalism in India.

Thus, we can say that the Panchayati Raj is the third tier of government and it comes under the feature of federalism in India.

For classrooms in all grade levels, from preschool to high school and beyond, bulletin boards are an effective teaching tool.

• Bulletin boards can be utilized for many purposes, including informing students, reinforcing lessons, showcasing student work, and more.
• The bulletin board is a board that is typically mounted to a wall where announcements with information about something are posted.  
• The message on the bulletin board may be in the form of words, graphs, charts, photographs, etc. 

Thus, we can conclude that bulletin board is typically used to display all kinds of creative works of students in the classroom.

Let the two fractions be 'x' and 'y'.
xy = 14/15








x = 7/6
Putting the value of 'x' in xy = 14/15, the equation we get

So, y = y = 4/5
Comparing the values of x and y, we get the greater fraction is x = 7/6.

KE = 1/2 mv²
490 = 1/2 x 2 x v²
v² = 490 m/s
According to the law of conservation of energy,
mgh = 1/2 mv²
h = 25 m
Height at which KE becomes half = 25/2 = 12.5 m

g = GM/R²
W' = mg' ...(1)
g = GM/R'²
D' = 2D
R' = 2R
g' = GM/4R²
Putting the value of 'g' in equation (1), we get
W' = m x (GM/4R²) = mg/4 = W/4

Dry and very hot winds blowing in the desert part are called 'Loo' (heat waves).
In summer, the air pressure of the western region is less than that of the eastern region.

• In summer, warm winds blow from the west, which is called Loo.
• Due to this heat, an area of low air pressure is formed here.
• To meet this low air pressure, the fast wind comes from another area (from areas of high air pressure) which brings with it dust and soil, this is called a storm.

In educational settings, questions are used to encourage recall of previous knowledge, and understanding of speech, and to promote critical thinking.

• Bonded labour is a practise in which companies give employees who work for little pay high-interest loans to help them pay off the obligation.
• The payment of wages that are less than the going market rate and the minimum wage required by law has been defined as bonded labour by the Supreme Court of India. Historically, bonded labour was connected to rural economies where peasants from underprivileged neighbourhoods were forced to work for the landlords.
• In unorganised industries including brick kilns, stone quarries, coal mines, agricultural labour, domestic servitude, circuses, and sexual slavery, bonded labour is discovered to occur in both rural and urban pockets.
• In India, bonded labour is illegal under the Constitution's Articles 21 and 23. The Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act, a special piece of legislation passed in 1976, was the first to outlaw the practise.
• The State Governments are responsible for taking actions against bonded labour employers in accordance with the Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act of 1976.
  • The District Magistrate has been given the authority of a Judicial Magistrate First Class under the Act in order to prosecute those who violated the bonded labour system.

Panna is famous for its diamond mines located in a belt of about 80 km across the town.
Madhya Pradesh has the only diamond mine in the country.

• The National Mineral Development Corporation Ltd. is operating the only mechanized diamond mine at Majhgawan in the Panna district since 1958 is now producing 81000 carats of diamond annually. Besides this, about 400 carats is also being produced from the "shallow diamond mines" in Panna and part of Satna district.

Project work, fieldwork, and other forms of experiential learning are necessary to incorporate local knowledge, traditional skills, diversity among the learners, and learning environments into the body of knowledge known as the social sciences, which deals with the social and cultural aspects of human life.

The learners are individuals who have different learning styles, personalities, intelligence, and interests. These differences among learners are known as individual differences.

• A teacher must keep these differences in mind while preparing for the class.
• It is important to cater to the different needs of different learners to make the teaching-learning process effective.
• The teacher can cater to these differences by differentiating the instruction.
• Differentiation means using different teaching-learning approaches to teach the students.
• It helps in providing a variety of learning experiences to the students and in making learning easy.
• To provide diverse learning experiences to learners the teacher should also use different kinds of pedagogy.​

Hence, it could be concluded that in the above-mentioned situation, a teacher should provide a variety of learning experiences.

Only one side of the moon is visible from the earth because time taken by the moon to move around the earth and to complete one spin is same.
The moon is tidally locked to the earth, which means it spins on its axis at the same rate as it orbits around the earth, due to the actions of the earth's gravity. This leaves only one side of the moon facing the earth.

Note-taking aids student learning by allowing individuals to process and retain large amounts of information. Note-taking influences learning by helping students to attend to information and allows them to personalise the information they learn. They provide a permanent record and afford easy reference.
