Which of the following Delhi Sultans established a separate department for agriculture known as 'Diwan-i-Kohi'?
A. Alauddin Khalji
B. Ghiyas-ud-din Tughluq
C. Muhammad bin Tughluq✓ Correct Answer
D. Firoz Shah Tughluq
💡 Solution & Explanation
Muhammad bin Tughluq established the separate agriculture department known as Diwan-i-Kohi to enhance crop yields and bring wasteland under cultivation by providing direct financial assistance to peasants. Other medieval rulers like Alauddin Khalji focused on market regulation and land revenue assessment rather than creating this specific agricultural office. This department remains a key administrative highlight in Delhi Sultanate history questions.
