Question
With reference to Mauryan administration, answer the following question:
Why is Chandragupta Maurya regarded as the chief architect of the system of administration?
✓

Answer

In the time of Nandas, the empire was undisciplined due to the faulty character of Nanda king. He insulted Chanakya, too. So Chanakya promised to destroy Nandas and prepared Chandragupta for a successful ruler, under his sharp guidance. Thus, Chandragupta became the basic founder of the Mauryan empire, extending to a large part of India; with the administrative capital at Patliputra.
