Question
With reference to Provincial Governments under the Mauryan rule, answer the following question:
What changes were brought about in the Mauryan administration during Ashoka’s reign?

Answer

The Mauryan administration was highly centralised. The metropolitan state of Magadha was connected with surrounding states with active trade links and economic Revenue officers had to tour the areas under their jurisdiction and enquire into the well being of the subjects. On account of some language problems, some peripheral regions were subjected to self-government.
