India File - State Government of India


India, a combination of states, consists of a Sovereign, Secular, Democratic Republic with a Parliamentary form of government. As per the system, the President is made a constitutional head of Executive of the Union. In every state, the Governor, the representative of the President is kept as the head of the Executive. The functioning of government in states is very much similar to the system of Union. India comprises of 28 states and 7 Union territories. The functioning of Union Territories is carried out by the President through the Administrator appointed by him. India being a country of diverse culture and languages, each state has its own different demography, history, dress, festivals and so on.

The constitution of India clearly defines the structure of the state government. As per article 153 of the constitution, the executive power of states rests with the governor. According to the constitution, there would be a council of ministers headed by Chief Minister to aid and advice the governor to dispense his executive functions. Just as the parliament there are state assemblies in the states. The assembly consists of either one house or two house. The members of the lower house of the assembly are elected on the basis of the adult suffrage every five years.
