The institute carried out the first village health survey in India in 1944–1945, in which a general health survey of nearly 1200 families comprising 7000 members in West Bengal was done.[6] After independence, extension plans were drawn in 1950, at a cost of 90 lakhs, shared equally by Union Health Ministry and United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, to build a Child and Maternity Health section at the institute.[7]
