Administration of Union Territories

Union Territories are administered by appointed Administrators or Lieutenant Governors who act on behalf of the Central Government. Their role is to ensure that central policies are effectively implemented and that local issues are managed through coordination with central guidelines.

In simple language, these officials run UTs and make sure that public services are delivered efficiently. Recent digital initiatives in UTs like Lakshadweep have improved administrative efficiency.

The administrative model balances direct central control with local needs to ensure smooth governance.
