| 1960 | Kolhapur District, Maharashtra, India: a high incidence of leprosy was reported for Kolhapur. A leprosy colony accommodated 150 persons at Kolhapur and was under the control of the Civil Surgeon. Following the application of the Leprosy Act to the District of Kolhapur and adjoining districts it became the responsibility of the state to isolate (at least) the positive cases with active lesions to prevent the spread of the disease. To deal with this problem, the Government sanctioned the opening of a Leprosy Control Centre at Shahuwadi in this district, as scheduled to open before the end of the financial year.

They submitted their observations and opinions as a report. During the course of their visit, they learned that the treatment of Hansen's disease had reached a major turning point dating from the statement that Colonel Marshall had made in 1958. Their report also indicated that the `Hansen's Disease prevention Law', unique to Okinawa was enacted the following year (1959) as a direct result of the colonel's statement. … It was obvious that what was being implemented in Okinawa was revolutionary."
