The Hunter Commission, officially known as the "Hunter Education Commission," was a commission appointed by the British colonial government in India in 1882. The primary objective of the commission was to assess and make recommendations regarding the state of education in India under British rule.
One of the key recommendations made by the Hunter Commission was related to collegiate education. The commission suggested that the government should gradually withdraw financial support from collegiate education institutions. Collegiate education refers to higher education provided in colleges and universities. The commission's rationale for this recommendation was to encourage greater self-reliance and financial responsibility on the part of educational institutions. It was believed that by reducing government support, colleges and universities would be incentivized to seek alternative sources of funding, possibly through fees, donations, or other means.
