Explanation
The Dinesh Goswami Committee on Electoral Reforms was appointed in 1990 to study and suggest changes to the Indian electoral system. One of its key recommendations was the introduction of state funding of elections in kind. The committee suggested that the government should provide essential items such as fuel, microphones, and paper for printing copies of electoral rolls to recognized political parties. This recommendation aimed to curb the use of unaccounted money and reduce the influence of big donors in parliamentary elections. Therefore, governmental funding of parliamentary elections is the correct answer.
