The median prevalence rate (PR) of epilepsy in rural studies from India has been reported to be 1.54 (range of 0.48 to 4.96) per 1000 population. [1-9]. A review projected that four out of five people with epilepsy in India were residing in rural areas, and three fourths of them may not be getting any specific treatment as per the standard guidelines [9]. A few studies have attempted to elucidate the epidemiology of pediatric epilepsy; however these were either school based [1] or proportionate cluster based [2,5].
