In which state was first open-air camp or jail set up in India ?

  • A.Assam
  • B.Gujarat
  • C.Madhya Pradesh
  • D.Uttar Pradesh

Answer: D

The first open-air camp in India was set up in Uttar Pradesh.

The open camp was started at Lucknow in the 1940s as a way of letting prisoners live and work with little restriction. Assam, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh later had open prisons of their own, but they were not the first. In an open camp the prisoners are allowed to work without close guard and many live with their families nearby, with the aim of training them for life outside, which is a reform from the closed prison. Uttar Pradesh began this with the camp at Lucknow.
