 Indian administration was undergoing major and significant changes in the post Sepoy Mutiny era. The East India Company rule was abolished and was thus ushered in a new era of western thoughts. Basically, British administrators were trying to rule the country following a strict western system of politics. Several harsh and brutal religious customs were done away with; they were replaced with English laws. Industrialisation was such a field that was fast taking up pace, filling the voids in factory improvements. Indian Factory Legislation thus came into being, approved by a rule of law.
On 31st January 1890, the Indian Factory Bill was introduced in the Imperial Legislative Council. On 25th September, the Home Government appointed the Lethbridge Commission to study India's needs for factory legislation.

The bill called upon local government to address matters of sanitation.
