• The Economic Administration Reforms Commission (EARC) was set up in the early eighties to suggest changes in the economic administration of the country. - Its chairman was L.K. Jha, a member of the Indian Civil Service who had specialised in the economic affairs of the country. • The agitation for State autonomy led to the creation of the R. S. Sarkaria Commission by the Central Government to recommend changes in the Centre-State relationship in 1983. • The first Administrative Reform Commission was established on 5 January 1966. The Administrative Reforms Commission was initially chaired by Morarji Desai, and later on K. Hanumanthaiya became its chairman when Desai became the Deputy Prime Minister of India. • In 1962, Lal Bahadur Shastri appointed K. Santhanam to preside over the committee on anti-corruption.
