    Role of Governor: in Light of Cooperative Federalism

    Uploaded by

    Vivek raj
    This document discusses the role of the governor in India's system of cooperative federalism. It provides a brief history of the governor position originating from ancient empires and being formalized in India's 1947 constitution. The governor acts as a liaison between the state and central governments, addresses region-specific issues, and provides apolitical vigilance. During times of constitutional breakdown or emergency, the governor takes on expanded powers to resolve issues. However, issues like appointment procedures, insecure tenure, ambiguous powers and duties, and political intervention sometimes hinder the governor's role in cooperative federalism.
