Which committee or commission, stressing women's education, stated that 'women's and men's education should have many elements in common, but should not, in general, be identical in all respects as is usually the case today'?

AKasturirangan Committee
BRadhakrishnan Commission ✓ Correct
CAnandakrishnan Committee
DKothari Commission
Correct answer: (B) Radhakrishnan Commission
Explanation

The Radhakrishnan Commission, the University Education Commission of 1948-49, held that women's and men's education should share many elements yet need not be identical in all respects.

It gave serious attention to the aims and content of women's higher education.

The Kasturirangan Committee framed NEP 2020 and is unconnected to this early observation.

The Anandakrishnan Committee dealt with other matters of technical and higher education.

The Kothari Commission of 1964-66 covered education broadly but is not the source of this particular statement.

The Radhakrishnan Commission was the first major education commission of independent India.
