This dataset contains information on the Governors (or equivalent administrative heads) of all the states and union territories of India, since 1947. The released dataset also provides information on acting Governors and their tenures. The data has been carefully extracted and verified from official government websites which document their names and tenure dates. Where official government sources proved insufficient, data was extracted from credible and verifiable news sources published by reputed and trustworthy media organisations.
