Administration QUESTION #9549

Question 3943

The Atchison Commission (1886-87) made a critical recommendation regarding the structure of British India's civil service. What was the practical governance problem it sought to solve, and what institutional solution did it propose?

It sought to correct the dominance of generalists over specialists by recommending that technical civil servants be eligible for senior administrative positions
It sought to eliminate the distinction between covenanted and un-covenanted servants — which created unequal treatment — by recommending establishment of a unified Imperial Civil Service✔️
It sought to reduce corruption in tax collection by recommending that revenue administration be separated from general district administration
It sought to address regional underrepresentation by recommending that entry to the Indian Civil Service be opened to candidates from the sub-continent regardless of religion or race

Correct Answer Logic:

The Atchison Commission identified the inequitable and arbitrary distinction between higher-grade covenanted servants (who signed agreements) and lower-grade un-covenanted servants (who had no protection). It recommended abolishing this distinction and establishing a unified 'Imperial Civil Service' (later 'Indian Civil Service') with standardized terms of service.

Library Sciences QUESTION #1553

Question 3955

The evaluation of library and information services is most effectively conducted using which combination of measures?

Only quantitative measures such as circulation statistics
Only qualitative measures such as user satisfaction surveys
Both quantitative measures (inputs, outputs, usage statistics) and qualitative measures (user satisfaction, outcomes, impact) used together✔️
Neither quantitative nor qualitative measures; evaluation should rely on expert opinion only

Correct Answer Logic:

Effective library evaluation requires both quantitative measures — such as circulation figures, reference transactions, and collection size — and qualitative measures — such as user satisfaction, perceived quality, and community impact. Stueart and Moran (2007) argue that neither approach alone provides a complete picture of library performance.
