Answer:

Decentralization of power means that the powers which were exercised by the central government are now delegated to states or local governments, or to lower levels of executive. The term itself - ‘decentralization’ - indicates moving away from the centre. It can be either through strengthening the federal structure, wherein the states/provinces get more power, or through delegation of power to the executive and levels below.
