The Governor's role includes ensuring that the state government functions according to the law, representing the state at official events, and playing a part in the legislative process, such as giving assent to bills. Governors also have various powers related to appointing the Chief Minister, and they may intervene in state matters during crises. The position serves as a link between the central government and the state government, helping to uphold the federal structure defined in the Indian Constitution.
