%X This study was conducted to create awareness about Leptospirosis, an important zoonotic disease, in two villages of Navsari district using street play and poster exhibition. The pre-intervention assessment revealed poor knowledge scores on various aspect of leptospirosis which significantly improved after intervention (p<0.05). Street play in local language and pictorial posters are effective health educational tools amongst illiterates and repeated use, before the transmission season, for maximum impact.
