Abstract
Global averages for NCDs indicate that they are not just a problem for the urban people, but are also becoming a concern for the rural and lower socioeconomic segments of the Indian population.

The study found that prevalence of hypertension was 35.4%, diabetes was found to be 9.91 % and obesity was 10.34%. Abdominal obesity was more in females compared to males. It was observed in our study that participants with cataract were 21.55 percent.
