This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2019 Home Science Question Paper (04-Dec-2019) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

National Policy on Education (1986)

To determine which among the provided options recommended the establishment of the State Council for Higher Education in each state, we need to examine the context and highlights of each option:

  1. Report of the Estimates Committee (1965-66): This report primarily focused on evaluating and improving the efficiency of government expenditures. It did not specifically focus on higher education or the establishment of State Councils for Higher Education.
  2. Review Committee on UGC (1977), Ministry of Education: This committee was responsible for reviewing the University Grants Commission. While it evaluated various aspects of higher education, it did not specifically recommend the formation of state councils for higher education.
  3. National Policy on Education (1986): This policy introduced significant reforms in the education sector, notably proposing the formation of a State Council for Higher Education in each state to coordinate educational policies and implementation strategies effectively. This was the crucial recommendation that established state-level educational governance mechanisms.
  4. Report of the UGC Committee (1990): Although it involved discussions on higher education reforms, the establishment of State Councils was not its main focus. Instead, it dealt with other aspects related to university education improvement.

Considering the information and reforms described, the National Policy on Education (1986) clearly recommended the establishment of the State Council for Higher Education in each state.

Therefore, the correct answer is the National Policy on Education (1986), which initiated this significant reform for better management and coordination at the state level in higher education.
