ADurgabai Deshmukh Committee (1959)
BKothari Commission (1964-66)
CBhaktavatsalam Committee (1963)
DRadhakrishnan Commission (1948) ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Radhakrishnan Commission (1948)
Explanation

The University Education Commission of 1948, the Radhakrishnan Commission, recommended providing the ordinary amenities and decencies of life for women in colleges planned for men, with no curtailment of their opportunities.

The Durgabai Deshmukh Committee of 1959 dealt with women's education but is not credited with this wording.

The Kothari Commission of 1964-66 addressed education broadly rather than this specific recommendation.

The Bhaktavatsalam Committee of 1963 focused on women's education in lagging states, not this quote.

The Radhakrishnan Commission devoted attention to the place and needs of women in higher education.

It was India's first major post-independence commission on university education.
