The Crown Rule
The Government of India Act of 1858
The Act of 1858 was largely confined to the improvement of the administrative machinery by which the Indian Government was to be supervised and controlled in England. It did not alter in any substantial way the system of government that prevailed in India.’
- The act transferred the powers of government, territories and revenues from the East India company to the British Crown.
- The act changed the designation of the Governor General of India to that of Viceroy of India.
- The viceroy was the dir hi ect representative of the British crown in India.
- The Board of Control and Court of Directors.got abolished and thus the system of double government came to an end.
- The secretary of state came inti existence who has complete authority and control over Indian administration. He was responsible to the British parliament. A 15 member council headed by the Secretary of state was also established to assist the secretary of state for India.
After the great revolt of 1857, the British Government felt the necessity of seeking the cooperation of the Indians in the administration of their country. In pursuance of this policy of association, three acts were enacted by the British Parliament in 1861, 1892 and 1909.
