Explanation

The Dinesh Goswami Committee was constituted in 1990 by the National Front government under Law Minister Dinesh Goswami to study India’s electoral system and recommend remedies for its shortcomings. Its report, submitted in 1990, made numerous proposals on electoral reforms, several of which were implemented later (notably in 1996), including procedural changes such as listing of candidate names and measures to strengthen electoral law and administration [1]. Scholarly summaries and compendia of electoral reform efforts explicitly list the “Dinesh Goswami Committee on Electoral Reforms (1990)” among key reform bodies, confirming its mandate was electoral reform rather than banking, insurgency, or refugee issues [2].
