The Governor is the titular head of the state government, appointment by the Central government.

A person to be eligible to the post of Governor should be:

  • A citizen of India
  • Should have completed 35 years of age

Additionally, certain conventions have developed over time that a person appointed as Governor of a state should not belong to that state to influence or be influenced by the local politics. Furthermore, he should not be a member of either House of Parliament or a House of the state legislature, and he should not hold any other office of profit.
