Abstract
THE Singur Health Centre, which is attached to the All India Institute of Hygiene and Public Health, Calcutta carried out a general health survey of the Unions of Singur, Bora, Balarambati and Begampur, a predominantly Hindu area of 33 square miles with a total population of 68,000 people, situated about 22 miles from Calcutta, during January-August 1944. The report of this survey, which is obtainable from the Institute, is summarized in an article in Science and Culture (11, 489 ; 1945-46) by Dr. R. B. Lai, who also addressed the Calcutta Rotary Club in February 1946 on the same subject.
