Union Territory

A Union Territory is a region in India that is directly governed by the central government, rather than having its own elected state government. These territories are typically smaller or have unique administrative needs, and their administration is managed by appointed officials from the central government. Examples include Delhi, which is also a capital territory, and Lakshadweep, a group of islands. While they may have local administrative bodies, ultimate authority rests with the central government, allowing for direct oversight and administration within these territories.
