Which Sultan established a new department called Diwan-i-Amir-i-Kohi?

Correct option is D

​​​​Correct Answer:(d) Mohammed bin Tughlaq​

Muhammad bin Tughlaq established the Diwan-i-Amir-i-Kohi, a department dedicated to agriculture, with the aim of increasing the area of land under cultivation. The department was tasked with bringing uncultivated land into productive use through state support, including providing loans to farmers. These loans were intended to assist farmers in purchasing seeds, cattle, and digging wells. This initiative was part of his broader efforts to strengthen the agrarian economy of the Tughlaq dynasty during his reign from February 1325 to March 20, 1351.

Additionally, Muhammad bin Tughlaq is noted for his decision to move the capital from Delhi to Daulatabad in 1327, aiming to consolidate control over the Deccan region of India. However, this ambitious move faced several logistical challenges and contributed to discontent during his rule.
