The dispatcher in Operating System is a module that selects the process from the ready queue for allotting it the CPU (Processor). There is a switch associated during dispatching and that is the process status changes from ready to running. The dispatcher is placed in between the ready queue and Processor Scheduler (i.e. short term scheduler).

By definition, yes.
When a process is ready to be executed, the operating system's dispatcher should first save the current state of the running process, including its program counter and registers. Then, it should load the state of the new process from the ready queue, updating the program counter and registers accordingly. Finally, the dispatcher should switch the context to the new process and transfer control to it, ensuring that it begins executing from the correct state. This process ensures efficient multitasking and resource management within the operating system.

An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is a component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an operating system to function.
Operating system resources in a PC computer can be pieces like RAM, the CPU, BUS, Graphics, and other hardware components on the motherboard which provide the level of resources for an operating system to run.
