Question

Match List-I with List-II \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \textbf{List-I (Committees on National Doc. System)} & \textbf{List-II (Years)} \\ \hline (A)\ \text{Krishana Report} & (I)\ \text{1958} \\ (B)\ \text{Thacker Report} & (II)\ \text{1955} \\ (C)\ \text{Estimates Committee} & (III)\ \text{1959} \\ (D)\ \text{Ray Committee Report} & (IV)\ \text{1967} \\ \hline \end{array} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Hint:

When faced with a question with conflicting historical dates, double-check the most well-known reports first. In this case, the Thacker (1959) and Ray (1958) reports are key benchmarks. If the options don't match these, the question is likely flawed.

Answer 1

Step 1: Determine the correct year for each report/committee.\[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{(A) Krishana Report: This likely alludes to the Kothari Commission report on education, which significantly influenced library thinking, submitted in 1966. The name might be a typographical error for another report.} \\ \bullet & \text{(B) Thacker Report: The M.S. Thacker Committee on National Information Policy convened in 1959.} \\ \bullet & \text{(C) Estimates Committee: The Lok Sabha's Estimates Committee conducted a review of scientific research in 1955.} \\ \bullet & \text{(D) Ray Committee Report: The N.N. Ray Committee on Library Buildings was established in 1958.} \\ \end{array}\]

Step 2: Correlate the items based on the identified years.\[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{(A) Krishna Report cannot be accurately matched without further clarification, as no provided option aligns with known reports of a similar name.} \\ \bullet & \text{(B) Thacker Report corresponds to (III) 1959.} \\ \bullet & \text{(C) Estimates Committee corresponds to (II) 1955.} \\ \bullet & \text{(D) Ray Committee Report corresponds to (I) 1958.} \\ \end{array}\]

Step 3: Re-assess the options.Due to probable inaccuracies in the question's data, it is impossible to select a valid answer from the provided choices. No combination accurately matches the committees with the listed years.
