Purposive sampling was used to collect data from Marne, Athrady, Herebettu which are rural areas and Malpe area of Manipal which is an urban area. Among 23535 population surveyed a total of 1286 (602 urban and 684 rural) samples with the disease and undergoing treatment were identified. 328(184 urban and 144 rural) people who were not complying to drugs were given awareness programme.
