Roles and Responsibilities

According to Article 159 of the Indian Constitution, the governors of India's responsibility is to uphold, defend, and safeguard the constitution and the law in conducting state business. Implementing the Constitution requires the use of all the governor's decisions, suggestions, and oversight authority over the legislative and executive branches of a state (see, for example, Articles 167c, 200, 213, and 355). Any bill may be put on hold by the governor of a state for the president to examine. Bills dealing with issues like forced land acquisition, restrictions on the authority of the High Court, and the imposition of taxes on the storage, distribution, and sale of water or electricity in river valley development projects or along interstate rivers should necessarily be reserved. Without prior approval from the President, no Bills attempting to impose limits on interstate trade may be submitted to a state legislature.

The governors of India have a variety of powers in this regard, including the following:

Executive Powers of Governors: Authority over administration, nominations, and removals

Legislative Powers of Governors: About the state legislature, or State Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) or State Legislative Council, and the enactment of laws (Vidhan Parishad)

Discretionary Powers of Governors: These are to be used at the governor's discretion. The powers and duties of the Indian governors are comparable to those of the president of India at the national level.

Appointment and Eligibility of Governors of all Indian States 2024

The Governors of all Indian states have the authority to act as the State's executive.
