The present cabinet secretariat has been established on ...........
Answer: C
The present Cabinet Secretariat dates from 5th September 1946.
Before that, the Governor-General's Executive Council had a secretariat headed by the Secretary to the Executive Council. On 5 September 1946, when the Interim Government was formed, the Secretariat of the Executive Council was designated the Cabinet Secretariat and its Secretary became the Cabinet Secretary. The Cabinet Secretariat's own history page records this date. The change was mainly one of name; the body grew into the coordinating agency for the ministries after Independence.
The other dates mark different events. 15 August 1947 is the day of Independence, 26 January 1950 is the day the Constitution came into force, and 17 September 1946 is not the date on which the Secretariat was renamed. The Interim Government itself began to function on 2 September 1946, which is why 5 September 1946 can be confused with the dates around it.
