Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Lyngdoh Committee was constituted by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) in 2005 following a directive from the Supreme Court of India [t1][t9]. Chaired by former Chief Election Commissioner J.M. Lyngdoh, the committee was tasked with framing guidelines for student union elections in colleges and universities to curb issues like muscle power, excessive expenditure, and criminalization [t2][t8]. The committee submitted its report in May 2006, and the Supreme Court subsequently directed all educational institutions to implement its recommendations, making them legally binding under Article 141 of the Constitution [t4][t5]. Key guidelines included age limits for candidates, financial transparency, and the use of only handmade posters [t8][t9]. In contrast, the Sachar Committee focused on the socio-economic status of Muslims, and the Moily Committee dealt with reservation in higher education.
