Abstract


In last May I was deputed by the Government of Madras to study electro-cultural methods introduced by Dr. S. S. Nehru in Mainpuri, United Provinces, and by Col. Noel in Peshawar, North West. Provinces, and report on the results. It may be of interest to know that Dr. Nehru is a civilian officer work ing in the United Provinces, who had a brilliant educational career. After laking the B. A. and B. Sc. degrees at Allahabad at the early age of 16, he went to Cambridge, took two honours degrees and passed the T. C. S. examination. He then took his Ph. D. degree at Heidelberg University in Germany. He was for some time Professor of Physics, when he did some research work in aerodynamical problems. He presided over the Agricultural Section of the Indian Science Congress in 1934. He is a great enthusiast taking great interest at first in the introduction and spread of boorm corn and later on in electro farming. He has published a number of books and pamphlets on his new hobby.
