Chakeravarthi Rajagopalachari was the first Indian governor general of independent India.Governors-General of India, 1947-1950NameBeganEndedlouis-mountbatten-1st-earl-mountbatten-of-burmaaugust-151947june1948rajajijune1948january-251950

Dr. Rajagopalachari remained India's Governor-General until the Constitution was approved and came into existence on 26 January 1950.

Once the constitution came into being, the post of Governor-General was done away with and replaced by the President.

Thus, Dr. Rajagopalachari was the only Governor-General of Indian origin ever, though Lord Mountbatten has the distinction of being the first Governor-General of independent India (after having been the last Governor General or Viceroy of British India).
