Answer:
Lord Auckland, is the right answer.
Explanation:
The East India Company in the 1830s began a program of metaled highway development, for economic and regulatory purposes. This was an attempt to upgrade the backward condition of roads in India. The economic factor behind the construction of the metaled road was that cheap and easy system of transport will reduce the cost of British manufactured good and will secure the raw materials of India for English East India company. Therefore, the initiative for the construction for the Grand Trunk Road was taken by Lord Auckland in the year 1839 and achieved in the 1850's.
