Q. Consider the following statements about a significant committee in pre-independence India:

1. It recommended establishing one Primary Health Center per 40,000 population, staffed with 30 beds, 3 sub-centers, and 2 medical officers as a short-term measure.
2. Its long-term programme included primary health units with a 75-bedded hospital per 10,000–20,000 people, secondary health units with 650 beds, and regional health units with 2,500 beds.
3. It played a crucial role in triggering public health reforms in India.

Identify this committee from the options below:
Answer: Bhore Committee
Notes: The correct answer is Bhore Committee. Established in 1943 under Sir Joseph Bhore, it published its report in 1946, recommending comprehensive public health infrastructure and laying the foundation for India's health system post-independence. Neither the Bering nor Jackson Committees made such recommendations. The Bhore Committee remains the cornerstone of health policy reforms in India.
