Chronological Ordering of Key Education Milestones

To determine the correct chronological order, we need to establish the approximate time frame for each mentioned event in Indian history related to education:

  • C. Grant's Plan: Refers to Charles Grant's influential advocacy and the subsequent policy discussions that paved the way for educational provisions, significantly preceding the 1813 Charter Act.
  • E. Charter allocating one lakh rupees: This corresponds to the Charter Act of 1813, which mandated the appropriation of funds for the education of Indians.
  • B. The Education Dispatch: Commonly known as Wood's Education Despatch, this landmark policy document was issued in 1854.
  • D. Establishment of Universities at Calcutta, Bombay and Madras: These universities were established in 1857, a direct consequence of the recommendations in Wood's Despatch.
  • A. Hunter Commission: Formed in 1882, this commission was appointed to review the progress of education in India since 1854.

Final Chronological Sequence

Based on these dates and contexts, the chronological arrangement is:

Chronological Order Event Code Event Description Approximate Year
1st C Grant's Plan Pre-1813
2nd E Charter allocating one lakh rupees 1813
3rd B The Education Dispatch (Wood's Despatch) 1854
4th D Establishment of Universities 1857
5th A Hunter Commission 1882

Thus, the correct sequence is C, E, B, D, A.
