# List of state presidents of the Indian National Congress

The state president of the Indian National Congress is the state-level highest command of the Indian National Congress (INC), responsible for leading in political campaigns at state level. State presidents shoulder a diverse array of roles and responsibilities integral to the effective functioning of the party at the state-level. Also known as the leader of the state and union territory party, a state president is chosen by the party president.
Being the higher decision-making body, state presidents actively contribute to the formulation of state-level policies, representing the party's stance on relevant issues and engaging in the development and implementation of election strategies during state elections. In addition, a state president is tasked with overseeing the organizational structure of the Pradesh Congress Committee, including the appointment and coordination of leaders at various levels, such as the district committee, block committee, and each panchayat development block or panchayat samiti. Serving as a spokesperson for the party in the state, they communicate the party's positions to the media and keep party members informed about policies and decisions. State presidents also play a pivotal role in building and maintaining the party's membership, reaching out to diverse sections of society and addressing their concerns to advance the party's agenda.
Conflict resolution within the party, fundraising activities, and the establishment of political alliances with other parties at the state level are also within the purview of the state president. They act as representatives of the Pradesh Congress Committee in interactions with the central leadership of the Indian National Congress, providing feedback and information about the state's political landscape and challenges. As of 2023, the INC has appointed states and union territories presidents for all states and union territories in India.
