Explanation

The University Education Commission, chaired by Radhakrishnan, was the earliest, working in 1948-49 on university-level reform.

The Secondary Education Commission under Mudaliar followed in 1952-53, focusing on the secondary stage.

The Education Commission led by Kothari came last, in 1964-66, covering all stages of education.

In sequence the three run University Education, then Secondary Education, then the Education Commission.

Together these bodies shaped the post-independence framework from the college level to the school stage and then across the whole system.

Kothari's report is remembered for the line that the destiny of India is being shaped in her classrooms.
