FROM
THE INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF CIVIL HOSPITALS,
BIHAR AND ORISSA
To
THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR
AND ORISSA, LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT.
Dated Patna, the 7th December 1927.
SUBJECT:—Triennial report on the working of the mental hospitals for Indian patients in Bihar and
Orissa.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit, for the information of Government, the
Superintendent's report on the working of the Indian Mental Hospital, Kanke,
(Ranchi) during the year 1926 together with the returns in the prescribed
forms.
2. In accordance with the usual practice a triennial report on the working
of the mental hospitals in the province during the years 1924, 1925 and 1926
is due to Government this year but as the Indian Mental Hospital, Kanke, was
opened in September 1925 it has not been possible to prepare a complete
triennial report of this institution comparing the facts and figures for the
years concerned. Superintendent has, however, in face of considerable difficulty
supplied, in the returns submitted by him, figures for the Indian Mental
Hospital since its establishment and also for the three institutions at Patna,
Dacca and Berhampore for the period from the 1st January 1924 up to the
dates on which they were closed and it is on the basis of these figures that
I am able to make the following few comments.
3. The outstanding event of the triennium under review is the opening of
the long projected Mental Hospital for the Indians at Kanke (Ranchi) where
a similar hospital for the Europeans was opened in 1918. The only difference
between the two institutions is that while the former is meant for the reception
and treatment of Indian mental patients of two provinces only, viz. Bengal
and Bihar and Orissa, the latter is meant for European patients of all the
provinces in northern India including Central Provinces and Berar and British
Baluchistan. In consequence of the opening of the new Mental Hospital at
Kanke, the old hospitals at Patna in Bihar and at Dacca and Berhampore in
Bengal were closed on the dates when the last batch of patients of those
institutions was transferred to Ranchi. The transfer of the patients com-
menced on the 4th September 1925 and ended on the 8th January 1926. The
detailed report regarding the opening of the Indian Mental Hospital, Kanke,
and transfer of patients to it from the old hospitals has already been published
in the report on the working of the Mental Hospitals for Indians in Bihar and
Orissa for the year 1925.
4. The total number of patients treated at the Indian Mental Hospital
Kanke, in 1926 was 1,564 (1,323 males and 241 females) against 1,609 patients
(1,381 males and 228 females) and 1,520 patients (1,293 males and 227 females)
treated in 1925 and 1926 respectively in the three closed hospitals. Of these in
1926, 113 (98 males and 15 females) were discharged cured, seven (all males) were
transferred to friends as improved and one male only as not improved. The
