President Droupadi Murmu appointed new governors for six Indian states, including Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar as Tamil Nadu Governor, shifting Om Prakash Mathur from Sikkim to Kerala. Braj Mohan Ram is appointed Odisha Governor, Sudha Yadav for Karnataka, Dhal Singh Bisen for Uttarakhand, and Dushyant Gautam replaces Mathur in Sikkim. 

These changes involve experienced politicians, many former MPs, taking charge to strengthen state leadership. 

The appointments take effect upon assuming office, with no new roles announced for some outgoing governors.
