Changes: Ajmer-Merwara-Kekri

Latest revision as of 12:27, 13 July 2020

Ajmer-Merwara-Kekri, also known as Ajmer Province, is a province of British India. The territory was ceded to the British by Daulat Rao Sindhia by a treaty on June 25^th, 1818. It was under the Bengal Presidency until 1836 when it became part of the North-Western Provinces. Finally, on April 1^st, 1871 it became a separate province as Ajmer-Merwara-Kekri.

The province consists of the districts of Ajmer and Merwara, which were at first physically separated from the rest of British India forming an enclave amidst the many princely states of Rajputana. Unlike these states, which were ruled by local nobles who acknowledged British suzerainty, Ajmer-Merwara was administered directly by the British.

In 1842 the two districts were under a single commissioner, then they were separated in 1856 and were administered by the East India Company. From 1858, they were run by a chief commissioner who was subordinate to the Governor-General of India's agent for the Rajputana Agency. Since the Empire Act was signed, the province has been administered by a Chief Minister, who reports to the Premier of India.
