ALERT INDIA (Association for Leprosy Education, Rehabilitation and Treatment-India) a voluntary charitable organization, started its work over 3 decades ago with a vision to eradicate leprosy from our country. This age old disease still lingers around in their cities and villages largely due to ignorance and social myths that add to the fear and stigma that surround leprosy.

One of ALERT-INDIA's mission is to improve scientific knowledge and bring concepts of quality and sustainability as guiding principles to national leprosy control efforts.
