Answer 1

In 1786 Lord Cornwallis succeeded Sirjoha Macpherson as the governor-general of India. He was the first governor-general of India who had to work under the Pitt’s India Act.

He was a nobleman of high rank and aristocratic disposition. In India he attained success by following the policy of Warren Hastings. He reformed and reorganized the administration of the company.

Answer 2

The servants of the company were corrupt, incompetent and irresponsible persons. Cornwallis realized that the low salaries of the company’s servants encouraged them to indulge in various kinds of private trade to augment their income. So Cornwallis decided to raise the salaries of the servants of the company.
The employees of the company were prohibited to carry on private trade. He had a low opinion about the character, ability and integrity of the Indian people. So he sought to reserve all higher posts for the Europeans. He also introduced some reforms in police department.

The districts were divided into small thanas and an Inspector was appointed in each thana. A superior officer with the designation of superintendent of police was appointed in each district to supervise the work of the Inspectors. He raised the salaries of all police officers. He separated the judiciary from executive as a result equal justice could be dispensed to all the people.
