scb_admin_history The India Sub-committee was created in 1900 and renamed the India and Ceylon Sub-committee in October 1903. Its area of jurisdiction comprised India (including areas now in Pakistan), Sri Lanka and Burma. Prior to the creation of this sub-committee a number of ad-hoc committees had been created by the General Committee to assist with the management of missions in the Indian sub-continent. In 1912 the Eastern Committee assumed the reponsibilities of the India and Ceylon Sub-committee.
