200, though there are some where strength is much less due to lack of accommodation, restriction imposed by availability of ration etc. Including the trainees that have been sent for higher training the number will be larger, in one camp as much as 1700 (Kurmail. Dinajpur). The total number of trainees available at the moment will be thus about 10,000 or so.

 From our combined experience (i.e. Prasun Majumdar’s North Bengal report, our and R. Karlekars experience with 24 Prgs., and our trips to Nadia with Aminul Islam) it is evident that no useful training or screening can be done in the existing training camps. In the name of screening the Awami League M.P.A. and M.N.A.s indulge in many vices, fully over the students and if caught at it try to back each other. There has been no formal reporting or the 6 boys expelled from Coochbehar town camp, or the 75 boys expelled from Tollykhola camp in Bangaon sector. The information has been received either accidentally or through local political leaders (Rajen Chatterjee of Congress in the Coochbehar case). In addition there are reports of threats to progressive Awami Leaguers, student leaguers and NAP boys in the camps particularly in Nadia.

 The ration is even now slow in improving, as in many instances the extra money provided by the BDMSSS, is deposited to the Camp in charge. They only submit a per head account, in many cases they do not stay in the camp and are difficult to meet so that the acting camp in charge has to make shift arrangements most of the days. When they, their friends or we visit the camps we are greeted with tea and snacks which comes from this money. The necessity of a uniform standardized ration, impartial screening and control on visitors to the camps are essential points.

 Most leaders do not wash their dishes when they take food in the camps, they refuse to do any manual work, complain about relief articles and their own health. The boys are not only forced to do all the work in the camps by themselves, they even have to do odd jobs like tending cows brought over from across the border. The lack of the proper Political orientation and explanation of the motivation behind the camping is seriously felt.

 There is no realization of the mistakes in the struggle. People who have actively participated in the resistance and felt the mistakes are pot encouraged to freely discuss this. Instances of harm done by strong attachment to a locality or sentimental attachment to places are very commonly heard nevertheless. The need of disregarding such feeling in war effort should be impressed with force. 20 % or more recruitment of Hindus is essential if they are to go back. This means recruitment of Scheduled castes and NAP students since militant Hindus belong to one or the other. This should be given top priority. The BSF and EPR should be segregated from the students everywhere. BSF transfers are advised at many places: a recent Murshidabad transfer did much good. Captain Subhas near Islampur (Thakubari) camp in Dinajpur is another deserving case.
