Medical and Public Health Development in Alirajpur and Jhabua States in early 20th century

Author(s) Monika Uikey
Country India
Abstract This paper provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of the development of medical and public health administration in the princely states of Alirajpur and Jhabua, both situated under the Bhopawar Agency (later part of the Southern States Agency) in Central India during the period 1900–1945. Drawing upon archival sources such as the Alirajpur and Jhabua State Administration Reports, Central India Agency Lists, Census volumes, and the Imperial Gazetteer of India, this study explores the establishment, growth, and modernization of hospitals, dispensaries, vaccination programs, epidemic control measures, and indigenous medical staffing. The research highlights how these small princely states played a vital role in localizing colonial health policies, creating an early foundation for healthcare modernization in Central India. It argues that the medical systems in these states represent significant local adaptations of the colonial health framework, where indigenous officers, royal patronage, and limited resources collectively fostered institutional development and public welfare.
