Under whose chairmanship was an Irrigation Commission set up in 1901?

Correct answer: (b) Sir Colin Scott-Moncrieff

Explanation

After the famines of 1896–1900, Lord Curzon set up the Indian Irrigation Commission in 1901 under Sir Colin Scott-Moncrieff. It reported in 1903 and recommended a large programme of irrigation works, both "protective" works against famine and "productive" ones to raise output and revenue.

Sir Antony MacDonnell headed the Famine Commission of 1901, and Sir Andrew Fraser the Police Commission of 1902.
