Chakravarti Rajagopalachari, often referred to as Rajaji, served as the last Governor-General of India. He held this position from 21 June 1948 to 26 January 1950, which marked the transition period from British colonial rule to the establishment of the Republic of India. On 26 January 1950, India adopted its own constitution, and the office of the Governor-General was replaced by the ceremonial position of the President of India.
Dr. Rajendra Prasad became the first President of India on 26 January 1950, the same day that India officially became a republic. Rajagopalachari resigned as the Governor-General, and Dr. Rajendra Prasad was sworn in as the President. This event is significant in India's history as it marked the country's transformation into a republic with its own constitution, and Dr. Rajendra Prasad played a key role as the first President.
