Abhijit Sen was the chairman of the Committee on the Wholesale Price Index which submitted its report in ____.
2008
The question relates to a committee that reviewed the Wholesale Price Index (WPI), a key measure of inflation in India.
The Working Group on the Wholesale Price Index was chaired by the noted agricultural economist Abhijit Sen.
This committee examined the methodology, coverage and base year of the WPI so that the index would better reflect the changing structure of the economy.
It submitted its report in 2008, recommending revision of the base year and updating of the commodity basket and weights used in computing the index.
These recommendations later fed into the shift of the WPI base year and a broader modernisation of price-index computation in India.
The other years listed, 2004, 2006 and 2010, do not correspond to the submission of this particular report.
Hence, the correct answer is 2008.
