The survey showed an increase in awareness of diabetes as compared to the base line data. At the time of base line 24 percent people were aware which has increased to 96 percent. It showed excellent contribution of the project to create awareness among the community about the disease. The knowledge of risk factors of diabetes also showed a change from 13 percent to 59 percent. This change could be associated to the severe awareness campaign in schools, in the community and use of wall writings, nukad nataks, which was one of the most efficient strategies adopted by the organization, and IPC through task force going door to door spreading awareness about the disease. Almost three fourth of the community members were influenced by the organization’s efforts as revealed by the study.
