Explanation

Hansa Mehta chaired the 1962 committee examining the differentiation of curriculum for boys and girls at all stages of education.

Durgabai Deshmukh led the National Council for Women's Education itself, not this specific committee.

Margaret Cousins worked earlier for women's rights but did not chair this body.

The committee favoured a common curriculum rather than separate courses for the sexes.

Hansa Mehta was also a noted educationist and champion of women's equality.
