This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2018 Home Science Question Paper (08-Jul-2018)
The correct answer is

Kothari Commission

The question asks which body or document introduced the common educational structure of 10+2+3, which is significant in the Indian education system. Let's analyze the options:

  1. All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE): The AICTE is primarily responsible for coordinating and regulating technical education in India. It does not set the overall educational structure for primary and secondary education.
  2. National Policy on Education (NPE), 1986: This policy aimed to promote education at various levels but did not originally conceptualize the 10+2+3 structure. It supported existing structures but was formulated after the concept was introduced.
  3. Sinha Committee: There is limited information regarding any specific "Sinha Committee" associated with the proposal of the 10+2+3 educational structure in India.
  4. Kothari Commission: The Kothari Commission, established in 1964, played a transformative role in shaping the education system. It recommended a comprehensive education system for India, which included the 10+2+3 structure. This proposal was influential in defining the standard educational pathway followed in India today.

Among these, the Kothari Commission is correctly identified as the body that envisaged the 10+2+3 educational structure. This format includes ten years of primary and secondary schooling, followed by two years of higher secondary education, and three years of undergraduate education.

Therefore, the correct answer is Kothari Commission.
