Scope and content
In 1965 Synge had visited India as guest of the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Calcutta [see G/130-G/132]. He returned to the ISI in July-September 1966, to work on chemical problems of rice cultivation. It was proposed that Synge should return to the ISI as the next in a series of repeated visits over a number of years to help with both research and teaching there. He also advised on the structure of the ISI for a government review of the Institute. While in India he visited colleagues at a number of other research centres.
