Detailed Solution

The given statement is False.
Gomasthas was chosen by the British to control the Indian weavers' class, gather supplies, and assess the quality of clothing. The East India Company did not appoint Gomasthas to oversee its factories. However, the fact that these persons had no relation to the villages in which they were selected was a significant disadvantage of choosing Gomasthas. As a result, tension developed between the Gomasthas and the village's weavers, whom they were appointed. Furthermore, they harshly punished weavers who delayed the supplies in any way.
The correct statement is that the East India Company did not appoint Gomasthas to supervise their factories in India. They were assigned to control the Indian weavers' class, gather supplies, and assess the quality of clothing.
