Global Leaders: Presidents and Prime Ministers of the World
In the dynamic landscape of global governance systems, each country boasts a unique governmental structure. Notably, nations like China and Russia adhere to communism, setting them apart from others. Despite these divergences, a shared aspect across countries is the presence of a singular head of state, be it the Prime Minister or the President.
As of 2024, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues to hold a prominent position on the Global Leader Approval list, outperforming counterparts such as US President Joe Biden. Conversely, President Ram NathKovind successfully concluded his five-year term on July 24, 2022, after a commendable service.
In the aftermath of the Presidential election, DroupadiMurmu has assumed the role of India's first tribal President. Noteworthy is the fact that President Ram NathKovind played a pivotal role during the challenging times of the COVID pandemic, particularly in 2020 and 2021 when the nation faced severe impacts. During this period, he directed cost-cutting measures at the RashtrapatiBhavan, urging efficient resource utilization. Additionally, he contributed one month's salary to the PM Cares Fund, exemplifying leadership and solidarity.

To Summarise In countries where the presidential system prevails, the roles of the head of state and head of government are consolidated. Conversely, in the parliamentary system, the President serves as the head of state, while the Prime Minister assumes the role of head of government. India operates under a Parliamentary form of government, where the President is both the head of the Indian state and the commander-in-chief of the Indian Armed Forces. The President is indirectly elected by the directly elected members of the Parliament, as well as the legislative assemblies of the states and union territories of India. Ultimately, it is the President who bears the responsibility of safeguarding our Constitution.
