The Report on the Lunatic Asylums for the year 1900, and the Resolution recorded
by Government upon it.
IN accordance with the recent orders of the Government of India, the
Report on Lunatic Asylums will in future be triennial, instead of annual as
heretofore, the first triennial report being for the years 1900-1902. In the
intervening years only the returns are to be submitted, with such notes
as may be necessary. The returns for the year 1901 have been punctually
received.
2. The number of lunatics in all the asylums at the commencement
of the year was 943. During the year there were 229 admissions and 20
re-admissions, and 122 discharges and 61 deaths. Allowing for these additions
and deductions, the number of inmates in the asylums at the close of the year
was 1,009, an increase of 66 on the preceding year, of whom 45 were criminal
and 21 non-criminal. The number of criminal lunatics continues to increase,
the percentage to the total population in the asylums at the close of the year
being 52.92, against 51.85 in 1900.
3. In 50 per cent. of the total admissions during the year it was possible
to discover the cause of insanity. This is an improvement on last year when
the percentage of ascertained cases was only 35. In three-fourths of the cases
in which the cause of insanity was traced, it was found to be physical and
chiefly the habitual use of ganja. The Lieutenant-Governor regrets to find
that there is still very little improvement in the preparation of the medical
history sheets of lunatics, and will now await the Inspector-General's sugges-
tions in the matter.
4. The general health of the inmates of asylums showed a marked
improvement. The total number of admissions to hospital was 576, against
968 in the previous year, and the death-rate was 6.18 per cent. of the average
number of inmates, against 10.67 per cent. in 1900. There were 24 cases of
injuries and accidents to lunatics, against 33 in 1900; and most of them were
of a trivial nature, and the warders were not to blame. There were no escapes
from the asylums during the year.
5. The income from paying patients and the net receipts from manufac-
tures in all the asylums were Rs. 13,702 and Rs. 6,540, respectively, against
Rs. 18,017 and Rs. 6,721 in 1900. The falling-off in the former item of receipts
is due to fewer admissions of paying patients into the European asylum at
Bhawanipur. The total expenditure on all the asylums was Rs. 1,39,516, against
Rs. 1,30,775, the increase being chiefly under diet and public works. The
system of giving rewards for good behaviour and steady work is being tried
with good results.
6. The acknowledgments of Government are due to the several officers
who held charge of the asylums during the year for their efficient management
of the institutions entrusted to their care.
By order of the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal,
H. M. KISCH,
Offg. Secretary to the Govt. of Bengal.
