In a parliamentary system of government, the Prime Minister is known as the head of the government. The Prime Minister is the leader of the ruling party or coalition in the legislature and is responsible for running the government and making policy decisions.

  • President: Usually the head of state, a ceremonial position in many parliamentary democracies like India.

  • Chief Minister: Head of the government at the state level, not at the national level.

  • Chief Justice: Head of the judiciary, not involved in government administration.
