India – Major appointments 2025 are not just names to be memorised; they represent how power, responsibility and leadership are distributed at the national and global level. Each new President, Prime Minister, Governor, Service Chief or head of an international organisation brings a different style of decision-making and priorities.
For competitive exam aspirants, understanding these changes helps in answering static GK as well as current affairs questions in depth. Many questions in NDA, CDS, UPSC, SSC and banking exams directly ask “Who was appointed as…?”, while others check your ability to link institutions with their correct heads. If you revise this list regularly, make your own short notes and update them with every major change, you will always stay ahead of the competition.
