Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The 'Seva Samiti' was founded by Hridayanath Kunzru at Allahabad in 1914. Kunzru, a prominent member of the Servants of India Society, established this organization to promote social service, education, and relief work during natural calamities and fairs like the Kumbh Mela. While G.K. Gokhale founded the Servants of India Society, Kunzru's Seva Samiti focused specifically on humanitarian aid and civic training. Additionally, Shri Ram Bajpai was instrumental in organizing the 'Seva Samiti Boy Scouts Association' under the umbrella of this organization in 1914 to provide an Indian alternative to the British-led scouting movement. The Samiti aimed at improving the status of the suffering classes and providing social service to all sections of society regardless of caste or creed.
