Which member of the Servants of India Society founded the Seva Samiti at Allahabad in 1914?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Seva Samiti was founded in 1914 at Allahabad by Pandit Hriday Nath Kunzru. Kunzru was a prominent member of the Servants of India Society, which had been established earlier in 1905 by Gopal Krishna Gokhale to train national missionaries for the service of India. While the Servants of India Society focused on selfless service and constitutional means for national interest, the Seva Samiti specifically aimed at organizing social service during fairs, famines, and floods, as well as promoting education and physical culture. Shri Ram Bajpai, another associate, is often credited with organizing the Seva Samiti Boy Scouts Association under the umbrella of this movement to provide an Indian alternative to the British-led scouting movement. However, the primary founder of the parent Seva Samiti organization remains Hriday Nath Kunzru.
