Explanation

Each pronouncement matches the act or authority that made it.

The allocation of one lakh rupees a year for education came from the Charter Act of 1813.

The view that English as a medium and language is needed for India's growth came from Macaulay's Minutes.

The idea of grant-in-aid for every educational institution came from Wood's Despatch.

The statement that India's destiny is shaped in her classrooms came from the Kothari Commission report.

Wood's Despatch of 1854 is often called the Magna Carta of English education in India.
