The committee for evolution of the New Education Policy (2016) proposed the establishment of a council for?
APrivate universities
BForeign universities
CEducational innovations
DExcellence in higher education ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Excellence in higher education
Explanation
The committee constituted to evolve the New Education Policy in 2016 proposed setting up a council to promote excellence in higher education across institutions.
A body dedicated only to private universities was not the focus of this proposal.
Creating a separate council for foreign universities was likewise not what the committee suggested here.
A council confined to educational innovations does not match the committee's recommendation.
The 2016 committee was chaired by T.S.R. Subramanian and preceded the drafting under K. Kasturirangan.
Its report fed into the eventual National Education Policy adopted in 2020.
