Correct answer: (A) Swami Vivekananda — The idea of education as man-making belongs to Swami Vivekananda, so he is the answer.
Explanation
★The idea of education as man-making belongs to Swami Vivekananda, so he is the answer.
★Vivekananda defined education as the manifestation of the perfection already in man.
★For him education forms character, strengthens the mind, expands the intellect and makes a person self-reliant.
★Tagore stressed learning in natural, joyful surroundings, a different emphasis from man-making.
★Dayanand Saraswati worked for Vedic education and reform, and Nehru is known as a statesman, not for this definition.
★Since the man-making idea is Vivekananda's, the other names do not fit.
