Trevor Ierino

Trevor Ierino is the president of the Indigo commission.

The Indigo commission was formed in late 1850s, following the movement by Raiyats in Bengal.

It was against the European Indigo Planters.

The cultivation of Indigo was already full of oppression and the planters on gaining the right to own lands, forced the poor Raiyats to cultivate Indigo.

The planters threatened the Raiyats that if they do not produce Indigo in large quantities then the planters will increase the rent.

The planters did not pay the Raiyats properly and paid less than the actual price of the Indigo was.

Due to tackle all the above mentioned and other such problems regarding the cultivation of Indigo, the Indigo Commission was established March 31, 1860 and WS Seton-Kar was appointed the chairman at that time.
