The Government of Jharkhand also known as the State Government of Jharkhand, or locally as State Government, is the supreme governing authority of the Indian state of
Jharkhand and its
24 districts. It consists of an
executive, led by the
Governor of Jharkhand, a
judiciary and a
legislative branch.
Like other states of India, the head of state of Jharkhand is the
Governor, appointed by the
President of India on the advice of the central government. The post of governor is largely ceremonial. The
Chief Minister is the head of government and is vested with most of the executive powers.
Ranchi is the capital of Jharkhand, and houses the
Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly) and the secretariat. The
Jharkhand High Court, located in Ranchi, has jurisdiction over the whole state.[1]
