When was the National Council of Education established?

Explanation

In the field of national education, the “Rangpur National School” was established on 8 November 1905. A conference was held in Calcutta on 16 November 1905. In this conference, it was decided to establish the “National Council of Education” to provide national literary, scientific, and technical education. On the basis of official records and authentic historical documents, the correct date of establishment of the National Council of Education is 11 March 1906, not 15 August 1906. On 11 March 1906, the National Council of Education was constituted through a resolution passed during a public conference in Kolkata. It is considered the first concrete step of the Swadeshi education campaign of the Indian freedom movement. The date given in the options—15 August 1906—was the day when the first National College (Bengal National School), under the aegis of the National Council of Education, was started.
