Review of the Work of the District Economic Councils.The Government have recently reviewed the work done by these councils during the quarter ending 31st December 1936.We are gratified to read there that 'the progress so far made is encouraging.The councils in most districts have completed or nearly completed the preliminaries necessary for starting work and a few councils have started some work.We also note with satisfaction that during the period under review.a few councils have arranged for the training of persons in veterinary matters.in maternity and general rural reconstruction work. while many others have in addition carried out actual improvements in rural education,sanitation and water supply.It is also claimed that as a result of these endeavours,a desire to improve has been roused amongst the villagers--a really most encouraging feature for the future and a valuable sinequanon of the success of the present drive for rural uplift.
