What were the steps taken by the British government to bring about administrative reforms in India during the 19th century

The British government instituted administrative reforms in India during the 19th century in order to streamline the governance of the subcontinent. One of the earliest reforms was the establishment of a Board of Control in 1784 to oversee the activities of the East India Company. Later reforms included the codification of laws, the introduction of a civil service and the establishment of modern educational institutions. Perhaps the most significant reform was the introduction of the railways, which greatly facilitated transportation and commerce, and laid the foundation for a modern industrial economy.
