In India, a governor is the constitutional head of a state of India that has similar powers and functions at the state level as those of the president of India at the central level. A governor acts as the constitutional head and takes all their decisions based on the advice of chief minister and their council of ministers.[1]
In India, a lieutenant governor (LG) or administrator is a constitutional head of one the eight union territories. A lieutenant governor heads the five union territories of Andaman and Nicobar Islands,[2] Ladakh,[3] Jammu and Kashmir,[4] Delhi[5][6] and Puducherry,[7] and an administrator heads the three union territories of Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu and Lakshadweep.
