Enthusiasm to undertake leprosy services was general. The principal rewards for participation in such activities appear to have been social ascendance and self-esteem. Factors cited as being most likely to further motivate voluntary service reflected the perceived importance of personal reputation and the prestige of a clear association with Lalgadh Leprosy Services Centre.</p>
