Explanation:

If the president is satisfied on receipt of a report from the governor or otherwise that a situation has arisen in which the Government in a state cannot be carried in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, he / she is empowered to proclaim an emergency. The result would be that:

President may assume to himself all or any of the functions of the state or he may vest all or any of those functions in the Governor or any other such authority.
President may declare that powers of the state legislatures shall be exercisable by the parliament.
President may make any other incidental or consequential provisions necessary to give effect to the object of proclamation.
During recess of Parliament, President may also promulgate ordinances for the State

However, it must be noted here that President cannot assume to himself any of the powers vested in a High Court.
