Among its various recommendations on Centre-State relations, the Commission made specific recommendations regarding the appointment and role of the Governor. It suggested that the Governor should be an eminent person from outside the State, who has not taken an active part in politics for at least some years before his appointment, and should be a detached figure. This recommendation aimed to ensure impartiality and maintain the constitutional dignity of the office of Governor, free from local political considerations.
