Mauryan Centralized Administration

The administration of Mauryan dynasty was controlled by the King. The king was the supreme and sovereign authority of the Mauryan Empire Administration. He had the supreme executive, legislative and judicial power and functions in the government.

As the head of the executive, the Mauryan king maintained social order by punishing the guilty. He was responsible for the safety and security of his kingdom. It was his duty to protect the life and property of his subjects. He was to collect report from the spies. He had to plan different campaigns and movements.

He laid down the general lines of policy to be followed by his subordinate officials. He appointed ministers and other officers of the royal administration.

The Mauryan king was the head of the judicial department. It was his duty to ensure justice to the people and redress their grievances. The Mauryan Empire was vast and this vastness debarred the king from personally disposing of all the cases. But he was the final court of appeal and issued ready judgment. The Mauryan kings remained whole day in the court to hear appeals from the people and in this course he even never cared for these personal amenities. King Ashoka made many reforms in the judicial system of the Mauryan Empire.
