The National Leprosy Eradication Programme (NLEP), initiated in 1983, aims for a Leprosy-Free India by integrating services into healthcare. The 2023–2027 strategic plan focuses on zero transmission, disability, and discrimination, targeting a prevalence rate under 1/10,000 and over 90% treatment coverage. With national elimination declared in 2005, efforts now emphasize surveillance, rehabilitation, and community participation to sustain progress.
