ANNUAL REPORT

                                                ON

                VACCINATION

                                            IN THE

    NORTH-WESTERN PROVINCES AND OUDH,
                        For the year 1892-93.

The triennial report.

1. This, the triennial report on vaccination, covers the years 1890-91, 1891-92,
and 1892-93; and the extent and results of the
operations within the period are summarized in the
following pages.

Area of administration and operation.

2. The whole of the North-Western Provinces and Oudh, including the hill
tracts of Kumaun and Garhwál under the jurisdic-
tion of the Lieutenant-Governor and Chief Com-
missioner, as also the Native State of Tehri Garhwál, are included in the area of
administration and operations of the Vaccination Department. Vaccination in the
Native State of Rámpur is still imperfectly controlled under State Agency, and no
returns of any kind are submitted for record in the Provincial Reports, as in the case
of the Native State of Tehri Garhwál.

Division of the area into three circles of
superintendence.

3. The area of operations is divided for the purposes of control into three circles,
each in charge of a commissioned medical officer
acting as Superintendent of Vaccination and
Deputy Sanitary Commissioner. The 1st circle comprises the Agra and Meerut
Divisions and includes the Native State of Tehri Garhwál; the 2nd circle, Almora
and Naini Tal districts, the Rohilkhand Division and the Province of Oudh; and
the 3rd circle, the Garhwál district, and the Allahabad, Benares and Gorakhpur
Divisions.

Vaccination establishment.

4. The Vaccination Department is under the control of the Sanitary Com-
missioner acting as Superintendent-General of
Vaccination, and the establishment consists of three
Deputy Sanitary Commissioners acting as Superintendents of Vaccination, seven
Deputy Superintendents; 25 first class Native Superintendents, 24 second class Native
Superintendents ; 823 Vaccinators, including Vaccinators of all classes whether paid
from Provincial, Municipal, Cantonment or Town Fund or by contributions from
private sources, and there are besides 43 paid Apprentice Vaccinators.

Changes in establishment since last
triennial report.

5. Since the last triennial report was issued, there has been a decrease of one in
the number of 2nd class native Superintendents,
owing to the amalgamation of the Lalitpur with the
Jhánsi district, and a considerable increase of 125 in the number of vaccinators.
Sanction has been accorded to an increase by one in the number of Deputy Superintend-
ents, so as to allow of one Deputy Superintendent for each of the Oudh Divisions.

Distribution of establishment.

6. The distribution of the establishment of
each circle is shown in the following statement:—
