Solution

Warren Hastings was the first Governor-General of Bengal from 1773 to 1785. He played a significant role in establishing the administrative structure in India. He introduced the system of district collectors who were responsible for revenue collection and maintaining law and order. He also established civil and criminal courts. Hastings is known for his efforts to promote Indian languages and literature. He commissioned the translation of Indian classical works into English. Despite facing criticism for his autocratic style and allegations of corruption, his administrative reforms laid the foundation for the British Raj in India.
