There will still remain a considerable number of cured leprosy cases with some disabilities and they require physical, socio-economic and phychological rehabilitation. Therefore, leprosy services need to be continued in a sustained manner. There are some major challenges which are to be confronted in a comprehensive and systemic manner. ILEP has come out to work together with the government to reach a common goal of a world without leprosy. It has a long history of providing quality leprosy services. The activities of ILEP support have been mentioned in this article. While considering the further scope of ILEP support to NLEP in India some guiding principles were identified. The support will be planned in line with global leprosy strategy and its operational guidelines.</p>  a0019-5847
