\nThe Government of India Act 1858 created the office of the Secretary of State for India.
\n<\/section>\n
\nFollowing the Indian Mutiny of 1857, the British Crown took direct control of India from the East India Company. The Government of India Act 1858 abolished the Board of Control and the Court of Directors and replaced them with the office of the Secretary of State for India, who was a member of the British cabinet and was assisted by a Council of India.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThis Act marked a significant shift in the governance of India, establishing a direct link between the British Parliament and the Indian administration. The Secretary of State for India exercised the powers of the Crown relating to the government of India. The India Councils Act 1861, Morley-Minto Reforms (1909), and Montague-Chelmsford Reforms (1919) were subsequent constitutional reforms that further developed the legislative and administrative structure but did not create the office of the Secretary of State for India.
