The Country's Voice - The Prime Minister

A premier, chief of cabinet or prime minister is the leader of the ministers in the executive branch of government and the head of the cabinet, typically in a parliamentary or semi-presidential system. In these systems, the prime minister acts as the head of government, rather than the head of state, and works under a monarch in a democratic constitutional monarchy or a president in a republican form of government.


In parliamentary systems modeled after the Westminster system, the prime minister is the actual head of government and presides over the executive power. In these systems, the head of state or their official representative (such as a monarch, president, or governor-general) usually holds a ceremonial position, although they may have reserve powers. In contemporary times, it is common for the premier to be a part of the parliament or its lower chamber, although not invariably, and is accountable for ensuring the successful passage of bills alongside other cabinet members. In certain monarchies, the monarch holds the authority to exercise executive powers, also referred to as the royal prerogative, without the consent of parliament.



The Role Of Prime Minister 


The head of the government of India is the prime minister, who oversees its functioning and exercises its authority. The prime minister selects the members of their council of ministers and nominates them to the president. They also form a core group of ministers, known as the cabinet, who are responsible for the important functions and ministries of the government of India. 


The prime minister assists and advises the president in allocating work to various ministries and offices in accordance with the Government of India (Allocation of Business).
