Who has recommended that "The Cabinet Secretary should be an administrative officer of the highest rank" ?
Answer: B
The recommendation is credited to N. Gopalswami (N. Gopalaswami Ayyangar).
Gopalaswami Ayyangar's 1949 report on the reorganisation of the machinery of the central government reviewed the working of the Cabinet Secretariat and the central secretariat after independence. The Cabinet Secretary heads the civil service in India and is the senior-most officer of the Government of India, in line with that view.
The other names belong to American administrative thought. Chester Barnard wrote on the functions of the executive, Luther Gulick on POSDCORB and the US President's staff, and Woodrow Wilson on the study of administration. None of them made recommendations on the Indian Cabinet Secretary.
