The results are obtained from the work of the Trust of the last decade (i.e. from 1972 to 1982). It reveals that Slum Survey (1.90/1000) has better results as compared to school survey (0.29/1000). 91 cases were detected in one year from 1-4-1981 to 31-3-1982; 38 were through slum survey (41.76%) and 37 were through health education (40.66%). (School Survey was not carried.) Thus health education has a very important place in case detection.</p>  a0024-1024
