What made the Chola administration strong and effective?
Advertisements
Solution
The Cholas system of administration was highly organised and efficient, the king as the pivot of all administration. There was the central government, the provincial government, and local self-government including ‘ur’ – assembly of normal villages, ‘ Sabha’- assembly of Brahmins and ‘nagaram’ – the assembly of merchants. All this well distributed and managed system of administration became strong and effective.
