महाविदर्भाचे नवीन राज्य स्थापन करावे अशी कोणत्या आयोगाने / समितीने शिफारस केली होती ?

The correct answer is Option B (State Reorganization Commission).

Key Points:
• Fazal Ali State Reorganisation Commission (SRC) and Vidarbha:
• Commission Setup: The States Reorganisation Commission (SRC) was appointed in December 1953 under the chairmanship of Fazal Ali, along with K.M. Panikkar and H.N. Kunzru.
• Vidarbha Recommendation: In its landmark 1955 report, while recommending the creation of bilingual bilingual/linguistic states, the SRC specifically recommended the creation of a separate State of Vidarbha (Mahavidarbha) with Nagpur as its capital, carving it out from the Marathi-speaking areas of Madhya Pradesh (former Central Provinces and Berar).
• Although the bilingual state of Bombay was subsequently formed in 1956 (and later Maharashtra in 1960), the *original recommendation* for a separate Vidarbha state emanated from the State Reorganisation Commission.
• Therefore, Option 2 is the correct answer.
• Key Takeaway: The State Reorganisation Commission (Fazal Ali Commission) recommended the creation of a separate state of Vidarbha.
