Sub-committees were formed and sent on study tours across major provinces of pre-independent India, including regions that are now part of Bangladesh and Pakistan. One sub-committee also visited Great Britain and France from 15 February 1947 to 31 March 1947 to study youth and cadet organizations in those countries.
