Dual Government means double system of administration. The system of Dual Government was introduced in Bengal by Robert Clive of British East India Company. This system remained in practice during the period from 1765 to 1772.The Dual System of Government in Bengal was the brainchild of Lord Clive. At Murshidabad, there was a puppet Nawab sitting paying the company an annual allowance of Rs. 6 Lakh. The British Emperor Shah Aalam II came under the “protection” of the British and he would now stay at Allahabad.This unfortunate system of dual government followed by a great famine of 1770 in which thousands of people died in Bangal.
