Explanation:

Lord Curzon was appointed as the viceroy of India in 1899 in succession of lord Elgin II. There was not a single department where the administrative reforms of Curzon were not introduced. Curzon aimed at the efficiency of the administration and sought to strengthen "officialization and centralization. Taking no account of the feelings and aspirations of the Indian people, Curzon wanted to establish the stronghold of the British Empire. Curzon after becoming a viceroy appointed an expert Commission to probe into the working of department and then enacted necessary legislation.

In 1902, Curzon appointed a Police commission under the President ship of sir Andrew Frazer. The police commission appointed by Curzon was entrusted with the task of enquiring the efficient functioning of the police administration of every province. The reports of the commission published in the year of 1903. According to the reports the police force was far from being efficient, defective in training and organization, inadequately supervised and oppressive. The Commission recommended the increase of salary of the police thereby strengthening the efficiency of the police department in all provinces. Moreover the commissions sought the constructions of the training schools for the officers and the constables, direct recruitments in the place of promotion in the s higher ranks. According to the reports of the Commission a provincial police service was created. Central Department of Criminal intelligence was also recommended by the Commission, which would enquire the criminal cases both in towns and the villages. Most of the recommendations of the commissions were accepted and implemented by Curzon. During the reign of Curzon there was an increase of expenditure on the Police department. Hence statement 1 is correct.

The existing system of education in India however proved faulty to Curzon. According to Curzon educational institutions in India had become the production house of the political revolutionaries. Thus the growth of the political revolutionaries in the schools would be a great threat to the British supremacy in India. Hence Curzon took the educational reforms as one of the significant part of his administrative reforms.

In 1902, the university commission was appointed to enquire into the condition of s Universities in India and to recommend proposal for the improvement of the education procedure in the Universities.

On the basis of the Reports approached by the Commission, the Indian universities Act (1904) was passed. ? The Act sought to increase the official control over the universities. In doing this, the number of fellows from the administrative body of the universities was limited, which increased the nominated elements over the elected fellows. Moreover the power of veto rested on the government. ? Hence only the government can only prohibit the regulation passed by the Senates. Conditions for affiliation of the private colleges were made more rigid and the periodical inspection by the syndicate was made compulsory. The universities were forced to take active part in the promotion of study and research.

The administrative reforms of Curzon also included the economic reforms. Curzon was shrewd diplomat and he could well understood that unless he controlled the financial set up properly, the company would lose its administrative hold in India. Curzon passed legislations regarding the famines, land revenues, Irrigation, Agriculture, Railways, taxation and currency. The famine and drought of 1899 had affected wide areas in the north, south central and western India. Hence a famine Commission was appointed under the President ship MacDonnell. The Commission was entrusted to enquire into the results of the famine operations. According to the reports of the Commissions the relief distributed to the famine stricken people was excessive. The commission recommended the payment by physical work by the able bodied person and laid down several rules to deal with the fodder famine. Hence statement 2 is not correct.

In 1901, a Commission was appointed under the Chairmanship of Sir Colin Scott Moncrieff. This commission was entrusted with the department of irrigation. The commission recommended an additional expenditure 4 ½ crores of rupees on irrigation. The construction work on the Jhelum canal was completed and other works were taken into hand in order to develop the irrigation works. Hence statement 3 is not correct.

Besides for the improvement of the Indian agriculture and the livestock, scientific methods of cultivation were adopted. Moreover an Imperial Agriculture Department was set up under the direct supervision of the Inspector general. Hence statement 4 is correct.

Curzon in order to extend and strengthen his control on the trade and commerce of the country constituted a new Department of Commerce and industry.

This department was entitled to look after the entire industrial and the commercial interest in India. This department looked after the Posts and telegraphs, factories, Railway Administration, Mines, Ports, and Marine etc. the Indian coinage and the paper Currency Act of 1899 made a British sovereign legal tender in India at the rate of Rs. 15 to a sovereign. Thus India was put on a gold standard.
