Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept
A review committee is identified by the authority that appointed it, its date, and its mandate; the chairperson must be matched to that exact institutional record.
When several bodies share a generic label, a year alone may not distinguish them; the mandate must first identify the body before the listed names are compared.
Application
For India’s 1977 school-curriculum review, the relevant record is the committee appointed by the Ministry of Education and Social Welfare to examine the structure of school education, NCERT objectives, syllabi, and textbooks.
A contemporaneous UNESCO record states that this committee was appointed in June 1977 under the chairmanship of Shri Ishwar Bhai Patel. The official RSMSSB final answer key for source-paper question 42 identifies the same source value, Dr. Ishwar Bhai Patel.
Contrast
Name | Relevant historical record |
|---|---|
Dr. P. D. Shukla | Worked in educational administration and wrote on education policy; the cited 1977 appointment record does not name him as chair. |
Dr. Shramannarayana | Is associated with Gandhian and basic-education thought; the cited appointment record does not assign this committee to him. |
Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam | Was an aerospace scientist and later President of India; those roles do not identify the chair of this curriculum-review body. |
Cross-check
The official exam key and the independent contemporaneous institutional record agree on the same value: Dr. Ishwar Bhai Patel.
