The practicability and scope of a census of production was one of the important subjects considered by Dr. A. L. Bowley and Mr. D.H. Robertson, when they were invited by the Government of India in 1933 for a Reorganisation of Statistics and report on the further study of the economic problems of India. They pointed out that excepting in the branches of vital statistics and foreign trade "the Statistics of India have largely originated as a by-product of administrative activities", relating to land revenue, famines and so forth. It was this Bowley-Robertson Committee that first fixed the minimum of villages for each province in India to be selected by random sampling, for the investigation of rural income, almost synonymous with agricultural production or crop census in this country.
