The merit principle of recruitment was first recommended by :
Answer: A
The merit principle was first recommended by the Northcote-Trevelyan committee.
The Northcote-Trevelyan Report of 1854, written for the British government by Sir Stafford Northcote and Sir Charles Trevelyan, proposed that entry to the civil service be by open competitive examination rather than patronage, with promotion on merit. In the same year Macaulay's committee applied the same idea to the Indian Civil Service.
The Aitchison Commission (1886-87) dealt with the role of Indians in the public services, the Lee Commission (1924) with the superior services in India and gave rise to the Public Service Commission of 1926, and the Tomlin Commission (1929-31) with the British civil service. All came well after merit had been recommended.
