Explanation

The Education Commission of 1882 to 1883 stressed extending general education through local governments, funding colleges by staff strength, maintenance and local needs, and giving special grants to improve college infrastructure.

Statement 3 supports local governments widening general education facilities.

Statement 4 backs funding each college by its staff, maintenance and locality requirements.

Statement 5 favours special grants to upgrade college infrastructure.

Statement 2, refashioning the general working of universities, belonged to the later university commissions.
