Correct answer: (B) Examine the differentiation of curriculum for boys and girls at all stages of education

Explanation

The Hansa Mehta Committee of 1962 was set up to examine the differentiation of curriculum for boys and girls at all stages of education.

Inspecting rural schools was not the task assigned to this committee.

Setting up science laboratories in universities was outside its remit.

Framing a policy for educational satellites in rural areas was unrelated to it.

The committee questioned separate curricula and favoured a common course of study for both sexes.

It was constituted by the National Council for Women's Education under the education ministry.
