150 000 leprosy patients were estimated in India in a population of 324 753 265, a prevalence of 0.48. Gupte writes that "It was realised in 1931 that these figures were gross underestimates and a correction factor of 8 was applied based on several survey findings obtained from 1927 onwards. Thus, an estimate was made of 1 million cases of leprosy in India for the year 1931."
