In the dominion of the Indian Constitution, the Governors have appraised powers and functions at the state level as that of the President of India at the capital. In this regard, it should be noted that like the governors at the National Capital of New Delhi and the lieutenant Governor in the union territories enjoys the same power and position as the President of the nation. On the other hand, it should be observed that in conformity with the measures of the Indian Constitution, the governor acts as the nominal head whereas the real power remains within the periphery of the Chief minister and with the council minister of the Chief minister.

In general, a Governor is elected for a term of 5 years. Different types of powers including the Executive Powers (all the executive powers of the state government), Legislative Powers and also the Discretionary Powers are also given to the Governors. In the appointment of the Chief Minister of a State the Governors performs as the main person. In the appointment of the Council of Ministers, the instrumental role player is the governor. The Governor also plays a cardinal role in the appointment of the judges of the District Courts.

In contrast the Governor writes the sessions of both houses of the State Legislature and holds over them. The governors are entrusted with the power to dissolve the State Legislature or the Vidhan Sabha. A bill that has passed by the State Legislature will not be eligible until and unless the Governor gives his/her assent to it. The Governor has the power to earmark certain bills for the President.

At certain situations the Governor can act according to own judgment. Though it is very important on the part of the Governors to act in accordance with the recommendation of the Council of ministers that is headed by the Chief Minister, and thereby to take decisions. These are enforced at the critical situations, and are called the discretionary powers of the Governor.
