The correct answer is

Dr. S. Radhakrishnan

In 1948, the Government of India set up the University Education Commission under the chairmanship of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, who later became the President of India.

The commission submitted its report in 1949 and recommended reforms in university teaching, standards, research and administration. Its report also led to the setting up of the University Grants Commission.

Sardar Patel, P.C. Joshi and Vikram Sarabhai did not head this commission; it is popularly known as the Radhakrishnan Commission.

Hence, Dr. S. Radhakrishnan.
