| 1904 | 'A Leper Asylum is maintained at Wardha by the Scotch Free Church Mission. It contained 20 lepers in 1904, this number being considerably smaller than during the three preceding years. The annual expenditure on the asylum is about Rs 2,000, which sum is almost wholly provided from the funds of the mission. Admission is entirely voluntary & the inmates are prohibited from begging in the neighbourhood.'
