Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The East India Company worried that the locals would respond negatively to missionary operations and develop a mistrust of the British presence in India. So the missionaries established a mission at Serampore in a region under the Danish East India Company's jurisdiction because they could not build an institution within British-controlled areas. In India, missionary schools were established all across the nineteenth century. But after 1857, the British administration in India resisted financially aiding missions.
Hence, the East India Company resisted missionary efforts in India up to 1813.
