What is a swearing-in ceremony?

A swearing-in ceremony is the formal taking of office of the President, Prime Minister, Cabinet Ministers, Chief Ministers, and other offices.
The person to occupy the office swears to be loyal to the Constitution and to discharge their duties faithfully.
Administration of oath
1. For CMs and ministers at the state level, the Governor administers the oath.
2. For the Prime Minister and the Union Cabinet, the President discharges the function.
3. The oath of office to the President is administered by the Chief Justice of India.
Those taking the oath can either swear in the name of God, or simply “solemnly affirm”.

Dual purpose of the ceremony:
1. It formally marks that someone is going to occupy a particular post.
2. It underlines the layers which make up India’s political power structure, and affirms the supremacy of the Constitution in our polity.
