No. B/5001 OF 1912.
From
THE HONOURABLE SURGEON-GENERAL H. W. STEVENSON, I. M. S.,
Surgeon-General with the Government of Bombay ;
To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
General Department, Bombay.
Poona, 25th April 1912.
Sir,
I have the honour to submit, for the information of Government, the
Triennial Report on the Lunatic Asylums of the Bombay Presidency for the years
1909—1911.
Buildings and Repairs.
2. The buildings in the different asylums generally are in good order.
Those at Colába stand in need of extensive repair and alterations, but in view of
the fact that this asylum will shortly be abandoned, nothing but absolutely
necessary work has been done there. This is also the case with the asylum at
Poona.
During the triennium under review the work of increasing and improving
the accommodation, both for the patients and attendants, has been gradually
carried on in those asylums which are to be retained after the Central Asylum
at Yeravda has been occupied.
At Naupáda (Thána) quarters for the matron have been constructed. The
interior roads of the asylum have been metalled ; and the latrines in the criminal
ward have been paved. Additional accommodation is now required at this asylum
for 108 patients, i. e., 60 males and 48 females. There has been considerable
overcrowding at times. The total accommodation is for 240 patients and the
maximum number on any one night was 276.
At Ratnágiri a padded cell, an isolation block, two bath-rooms, sweepers
quarters, and a small work-shed for females have been provided. Barracks to
accommodate 18 civil male insanes are under construction and will shortly be
completed.
At Dhárwár the compound wall of the asylum was completed. A covered
bath has been built, and a new cooking range has been provided. The
kitchen and two cells have been floored with patent stone. New quarters
for the Sub-Assistant Surgeons and additions and alterations in the existing
quarters for the servants have been sanctioned. Barracks and cells for
female lunatics are in the course of construction and will soon be completed.
This asylum still requires a convalescent ward and additional hospital accommo-
dation, together with improvements in the ventilation of some of the cells, and
in the flooring of some of the barracks.
At Ahmedabad quarters for the sweepers and 20 additional cells for criminal
insanes together with certain other additions and alterations to the buildings
have been completed.
At Hyderabad several minor works have been carried out. A few more cells
are required in this asylum, otherwise the accommodation is satisfactory.
B 1767—1

The building of the new Central Asylum at Yeravda is nearing completion
and it is expected to be ready for occupation by April 1913.
Water-supply.
3. The supply has been fairly good at all the asylums.
The shortage formerly reported at Colába and Ratnágiri has now ceased
owing to improved arrangements.
STATEMENT No. I.
Total population.
4. The number of insanes admitted and re-admitted into the asylums during
the year 1911 was 314 males and 75 females as compared with 301 males and
72 females in 1910 and 313 males and 51 females in 1909, the average admissions
during the years 1909—11 being 309 males and 66 females against 305 males
and 65 females in 1906—08.
The total number of patients in the asylums during the year 1911 was 1,367
against 1,357 in 1910 and 1,355 in 1909. The mean population for the triennium
averaged 1,090 males and 270 females, showing an increase of 59 males and
a decrease of 6 females over the previous triennium 1906—1908.
The average increase of 53 in the total population of the asylums during
the three years 1909—1911 was shared by the Naupáda, Ratnágiri, Dhárwár
and Ahmedabad Asylums.
There was a marked decrease of 25 in the mean European population of
the Colába Asylum.
Daily average strength.
The daily average strength in 1911 was 1,019.8 as compared with 986.1 in
1910 and 988.6 in 1909. The mean strength for the triennium under review
was 998.2 against 951.5 for 1906—1908.
The chief cause for the steady increase in the number of patients in the
asylums would appear to be the growing popularity of these institutions. People
are beginning to realize that the mentally afflicted are much better off in an
asylum than in their own homes. Also, owing perhaps to higher ideas of
personal comfort, and probably less leisure to look after them, they are becoming
less tolerant of insane persons in their households and near neighbourhood.
There is no evidence to show that any actual increase of insanity is taking place
amongst the general population, though it must be acknowledged that, from lack
of reliable information as to its prevalence hitherto, there are no grounds on which
a positive opinion can be based.
Discharges and Cures.
Of the total treated, an average of 111 males and 19 females were cured
during the triennium as compared with 114 males and 22 females in
1906—1908 ; and the mean ratio for 1909—1911 was 14.1 males and 9.1 females
against 15.3 males and 10.3 females in 1906—1908.
Of the insanes returned as " transferred to friends" the average number
shown as " improved " for the period 1909—11 was 77 and " not improved " was
26 as compared with 70 and 50 for 1906—1908.
Sickness.
The daily average of sick in 1911 was 34.6 as compared with 28.0 in
1910 and 23.9 in 1909, the mean of the triennium being 28.8 against 26.4 of
the previous three years. The percentage of sickness to the daily average
strength was 3.3 against 2.8 in 1910 and 2.4 in 1909, the average ratio for the
two periods under review being the same, viz. 2.8. The general health of the
insanes was on the whole satisfactory.
