Under whose leadership did university reforms lead to the first official announcement of the future education policy of the Government of India, made to reduce the tension created among educated Indians by those reforms?

Under Lord Curzon the university reforms culminating in the Indian Universities Act of 1904 led to the first official statement of the government's future education policy.

The 1904 Government Resolution on educational policy sought to calm the resentment his reforms had stirred among educated Indians.

Charles Wood was linked to the 1854 Despatch, not to this later announcement.

Hunter headed the 1882 Education Commission, a different exercise.

Dalhousie preceded Curzon and was not associated with the 1904 policy statement.

Curzon's tightening of university control was widely criticised as an attack on Indian institutions.
