List of current Indian governors: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 02:42, 11 January 2022

Several governors, lieutenant governors and administrators pose with the President, Vice President and Prime Minister of India on the eve of ‘2019 Governors Conference’, at Rashtrapati Bhavan, in New Delhi in November 2019

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 act upon his or her own discretion, such as the ability 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]
