UPSC Civil Services Model Paper 3

● The Despatch had the following objectives in view:
◦ To impart Western knowledge, information about the western culture to the Indians.
◦ To educate the natives of India so that a class of public servants could be created. Hence statement 2 is correct.
◦ To promote intellectual development and also raise the moral character of the young generation.
◦To develop practical and vocational skills of the Indians people so that more and more articles could be produced and also to create a good market for the consumption of those goods. So, clearly, statement 1 is wrong and statement 3 is correct.
◦ Statement 4: The Wood’s Despatch recommended the sanction of a grant-in-aid system in the Indian educational system and argued that schools must charge fees from their students. So, 4 is also incorrect .
