This is known as Wood's despatch.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Charles Wood, 1st Viscount Halifax, GCB, PC (20 December 1800 – 8 August 1885), known as Sir Charles Wood, 3rd Bt, between 1846 and 1866, was an Anglo-Indian Whig politician and Member of Parliament of the British Empire. He served as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1846 to 1852.

As a result the Wood's Despatch was issued, with Sir Charles Wood as the President of the Board of Control of Education. The main objective of the Despatch was to impart Western knowledge to the Indian people and also to develop their intellect and moral character.
