Answer:

The British state took over the governance of India from the east India company after the 1857 revolt.

Explanation:

The title of Viceroy, who will answer directly to the British Parliament, replaced the former title of Governor General. The first Viceroy of India and the final Governor General was Lord Canning.

What transpired with the East India Company following the 1857 uprising?

Since 1813, when its trade monopoly was ended, it has only served as a management agency for the British government of India. After the Indian Mutiny (1857), it lost that position, and in 1873, it ceased to be a legal body. The East India Company's territory and authority were handed to the British Crown by the Government of India Act 1858, an act of the British parliament. British possessions in India were promptly transferred to the British government after the company's authority ended.

Thus, the British Crown took over the governance of India from the east India company.
