    Solution

    Maharashtra was the first state in India to establish the Lokayukta institution, doing so in 1971. The Lokayukta is an anti-corruption ombudsman organization that investigates allegations of corruption and maladministration by public servants. Following Maharashtra's lead, many other Indian states have since established their own Lokayukta institutions.
