==Current Indian Governors== | [[File:Governor's Conference 2021.jpg|300px|thumb|upright=2|Several governors, lieutenant governors and administrators pose with the Vice President of India on the eve of ‘2021 Governors Conference’, at [[Vice President's House, India|Vice President's House]], in New Delhi in November 2021.]] | ||
In the [[India|Republic of India]], according to the Article 154 of [[Constitution of India]], a [[Governor (India)|governor]] is the constitutional head of each of the [[States and union territories of India|twenty-eight states]]. The governor is appointed by the [[president of India]] for a term of five years, and holds office at the president's pleasure. | |||
The governor is ''[[de jure]]'' head of the [[State governments of India|state government]]; all its executive actions are taken in the governor's name. However, the governor must act on the advice of the popularly elected [[Cabinet (politics)|council of ministers]], headed by the [[Chief minister (India)|chief minister]], which thus holds ''[[de facto]]'' executive authority at the state-level. The Constitution of India also empowers the governor to appoint or dismiss a [[ministry (collective executive)|ministry]], recommend [[president's rule]], or reserve bills for the president's assent. Over the years, the exercise of these discretionary powers have given rise to conflict between the elected chief minister and the [[Government of India|union government]]–appointed governor.<ref>[[Durga Das Basu]].

In the Republic of India, according to the Article 154 of Constitution of India, a governor is the constitutional head of each of the twenty-eight states. The governor is appointed by the president of India for a term of five years, and holds office at the president's pleasure.

The governor is de jure head of the state government; all its executive actions are taken in the governor's name. However, the governor must act on the advice of the popularly elected council of ministers, headed by the chief minister, which thus holds de facto executive authority at the state-level. The Constitution of India also empowers the governor to appoint or dismiss a ministry, recommend president's rule, or reserve bills for the president's assent. Over the years, the exercise of these discretionary powers have given rise to conflict between the elected chief minister and the union government–appointed governor.[1]
