The study concluded that the anti-malaria policy, whose thrust was mainly on curative measures, was unsuccessful largely due to "financial, organisational and administrative constraints". While recognising the role of these technical aspects, Sakhti Padhi felt that the anti-malaria approaches in other countries [such as Israel (Palestine), the US and so on] show that a threshold of agricultural and socioeconomic development (and associated improvement in living conditions), health services infra-structure, and educational level may have to be reached for the successful application, effectivity 'and maintenance of anti-malaria measures. Hence, the technical aspects of malaria control are to be linked up with the whole question of agrarian and socio-economic underdevelopment which, more generally and importantly, means entering the terrain of political economy.
