Secretary of ICCC

During 1921, Mc kenna committee, a representative body of BCGA,[15] recommended ICCC The Indian Central Cotton Committee, to appoint, Sir Chudleigh_Burt Bryce,[citation needed] as its first secretary. Govt. of India set up the Cotton Committee for improving the production and marketing of Indian cottons. Today, ICCC weilds a beneficent influence through out india. It owes its success almost entirely to Burt's enthusiasm, tact, and ability, and it remains a living memorial of his personoality.

Sir Bryce served 7 years.
