The post 'Governor' exists only in the States of India. In the Center there was never a post of Governor. The last 'Viceroy' Mountbatten beame the first Governor General of independent India on 15 Aug. 1947. After that in 1948 C. Rajagopalachari took charge as Governor General of India from Mountbatten. In 1950, when the Constitution of independent India came into force the post was abolished and converted into 'President of India' and Dr. Rajendra Prasad became the first President.
