The 'Famine Code' was introduced in India under which Viceroy?
A. Lord Ripon
B. Lord Curzon
C. Lord Lytton
D. Lord Minto
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Lord Lytton's government, after the famine of 1876-78, formulated a Famine Code to provide relief measures. The first Famine Commission was appointed in 1880 under Sir Richard Strachey, and the code was implemented under Lord Ripon, but the initial development began after Lytton's time. Historically, the first Famine Commission was appointed in 1880 under Lord Ripon. I'll clarify: The Famine Commission was appointed in 1880 by Lord Ripon and led by Richard Strachey. So Lord Ripon. I'll adjust to ensure accuracy.
