Explanation: Even much before the enactment of the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act (2013) itself, many states had already set up the institution of Lokayuktas.

• It must be noted here that the institution of lokayukta was first established in Maharashtra in 1971.
• Although Odisha had passed the Act in this regard in 1970, it came into force only in 1983.
