Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 only
The 1949 Gopalaswamy Ayyangar report dealt mainly with reorganizing ministries and did not recommend appointing a separate minister-secretary duo for administrative reform, so statement 1 is incorrect. The First Administrative Reforms Commission (1966) urged creation of a Department of Personnel under the Prime Minister, which was duly set up in 1970; hence statement 2 is correct. Therefore only statement 2 is correct (option b).
