Sourya Committee Proposal Analysis

The question asks for logical inferences based on the Sourya committee's proposal to establish Sourya Institutes of Technology (SITs) modeled after Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). The stated purpose is to cater to the technological and industrial needs of a developing country.

Evaluating Inferences

  • Statement (i): The proposal mentions SITs are established in line with IITs, implying a similar standard or model. It does not state that IITs will award degrees to SIT students. Therefore, statement (i) cannot be logically inferred.
  • Statement (ii): The objective is to meet the "technological and industrial needs of a developing country". This clearly indicates a specific, national goal focused on development. Thus, statement (ii) can be logically inferred.
  • Statement (iii): Establishing institutions in line with others suggests following a similar pattern or structure. It does not necessitate consultation or explicit approval from the established institutions (IITs). Therefore, statement (iii) cannot be logically inferred.
  • Statement (iv): The sentence explicitly states the purpose of SITs is "to cater to the technological and industrial needs of a developing country". This directly supports statement (iv).

Conclusion on Inferences

Based on the analysis, statements (ii) and (iv) are the only ones that can be logically inferred from the provided text.
