The Committee to inquire and report as to the facilities available for Indian Students for Industrial and Technological Training in the the UK, with special reference to the system of State Technical Scholarships established by the Government of India in 1904, also known as the Indian Technical Students Committee, was appointed on 27 March 1912 by the Secretray of State for India. It consisted of Sir Theodore Morison (Chairman), Sir Krishna G. Gupta, Professor W.E. Dalby and J.H. Reynolds. The Committee held its first meeting at the India Office in London on 9 May 1912 to discuss the itinerary and questions of procedure. It then visited the Universities of Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham, taking evidence from 75 witnesses, of which 29 were representatives of the Universities visited, 28 were owners or managers of businesses in related industries, and 18 were Indian technical students. A further ten witnesses were heard at the India Office in London.
The Committee's main recommendation was the continuation of the system of Government Technical Scholarships, with some suggested improvements, but that the high public cost of the training meant it should only be given to a few well chosen candidates who would be reasonably expected to help the industrial development of India. The Committee also felt that a further investigation should be made by some representative of the Secretary of State for India of the facilities in some of the other centres of technical education, such as Sheffield, Liverpool, Bradford and Newcastle.
