Maharaja '''Chamarajendra Wadiyar X''' {{post-nominals|country=GBR|GCSI}} (Chamaraja Wadiyar X; 22 February 1863 – 28 December 1894) was the twenty-third [[maharaja]] of the [[Kingdom of Mysore]], between 1868 and 1894.

==Adoption and accession==
Chamarajendra Wadiyar X was born in the old palace in Mysore on 22 February 1863, as the third son of Sardar Chikka Krishnaraj Urs of the Bettada-Kote branch of the ruling clan. His father died about a week before his birth. His mother, Rajkumari Putammani Devi, was the eldest daughter of Maharaja [[Krishnaraja Wadiyar III]]. Following the failure of heirs male, [[Krishnaraja Wadiyar III]] decided to adopt Chamarajendra. The adoption was done on 18 June 1865 and was recognised by the British Government of India on 16 April 1867.

Krishnaraja Wadiyar III died on 27 March 1868, and Chamarajendra Wadiyar X ascended the throne at the royal palace, Mysore, on 23 September 1868. However, since 1831, the Kingdom of Mysore had been under the direct administration of the [[British Raj]], which had earlier deposed Krishnaraja Wadiyar on allegations of misrule. Later, the Privy Council of the United Kingdom ordered the reversal of the [[British East India Company]]'s decision to annexe Mysore. By the Rendition Act of 1881, the princely state of Mysore was reconstituted and restored to the Wadiyar dynasty. Chamarajendra Wadiyar X was groomed by the British to take charge of the administration. He was officially handed the reins of governance on 25 March 1881.

==Reign==
Although his reign proved to be a brief one, he left an indelible mark on the [[Kingdom of Mysore]]. He was aptly aided by Rangacharlu (1881-83) CE and Sheshadri Iyer (1883-1901) two of the most competent Diwans.

He instituted the Representative Assembly of Mysore Kingdom in 1881. This was the first modern, democratic legislative institution of its kind in princely India. He sponsored the famous journey of [[Swami Vivekananda]] to [[Chicago]] in 1893. He gave primacy to women's education and founded the [[Kannada]] Bashojjivini School. He gave a fillip to the industrialisation of the Kingdom of Mysore by instituting several industrial schools and conducting the annual Dasara Industrial Exhibition. He facilitated the founding of Agricultural Banks to help finance farmers and initiated life insurance for government employees.
