A study of the inmates of a leprosy colony in Mysore revealed that there were more male cases and that the deformities were also more common among the male patients. There was no cases among inmates below 20 years of age group 31-50 years. 93.2% of the inmates were illiterate and 96.6% of the patients were ignorant of the cause, spread, prognosis of the disease and prevention of disabilities. This indicated an urgent need of health education among the leprosy patients and their families. All the inmates, including the apparently healthy relatives reported loss of income due to disease and disabilities. Rehabilitation of the inmates by raising poultry, breeding sheep and sericulture activities must be encouraged.
