State Government
The President may make such provision as he thinks fit for the discharge of the functions of the Governor of a State in any contingency not provided for in this Chapter.
This is a safety-net provision - the state-level equivalent of Article 70 - letting the President arrange for someone to perform a Governor's functions in unusual situations the Constitution's other provisions don't clearly cover.
This provision has, in practice, been used to let a neighbouring state's Governor, or a High Court Chief Justice, temporarily perform another state's gubernatorial functions during a genuine vacancy or emergency gap.
