Abstract
Treatment seeking behaviour of disabled persons is a complex phenomenon in the third world and largely unexplored in the country like India. This paper has been designed with an objective to find out the influence of different individual, household and state level factors in treatment seeking behaviour of disabled persons using the data from NSS 58th round-2002 disabled persons in India. More than one fifth of disabled persons have not received or presently not going for any treatment after the onset of disability in India. From the analysis it is well depicted that Individual as well as household and state level variables have a significant influence in deciding the treatment seeking behaviour of disabled persons.
