UPSSSC PET 2026 Question Paper (30-Oct-2026) (Shift-1)
The correct answer is

Gopal Krishna Gokhale

The Servants of India Society was founded in Pune on 12 June 1905 by Gopal Krishna Gokhale, the moderate Congress leader regarded by Mahatma Gandhi as his political guru.

The society trained dedicated workers (life members) to serve the nation through education, famine relief, sanitation, upliftment of depressed classes and the welfare of women, with a commitment to constitutional methods.

Gopal Ganesh Agarkar co-founded the Deccan Education Society and edited Sudharak; Surendranath Banerjee founded the Indian Association (1876); Dadabhai Naoroji founded the East India Association (1866) in London. None of them founded the Servants of India Society.

Gopal Krishna Gokhale option is correct.
