During the colonial period in India, what was the purpose of the Whitley Commission?

The Royal Commission on Labour, also known as the Whitley Commission, was set up in 1929 under the chairmanship of John Henry Whitley. Its primary purpose was to investigate the existing conditions of labour in industrial undertakings and plantations in British India. The commission examined issues such as health, safety, and welfare of workers, as well as the relations between employers and employees. Its 1931 report provided detailed recommendations that later served as a foundation for various labour laws and reforms in India. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they refer to constitutional reforms, financial policies, and civil service restructuring, which were handled by other bodies like the Simon Commission or the Aitchison Commission.
