The two main reforms of Lord Canning are given below:
- The last President of the Board of Control, ‘Sir Charles Wood’, became the first Secretary of State for India. Thus the structure of the Government had changed, but the function of the Government had remained almost the same.
- Lord Canning also abolished the ‘Doctrine of Lapse’, and from now Indian princes were allowed to adopt a successor in order to carry forward their rule. This decision was taken keeping in mind that in the revolt of 1857, many rulers of the native Indian states participated because they were not allowed to adopt their heirs.
