It is seasonal in many countries but occurs year-round in India.Since the launch of the Rotavirus Vaccine (RVV) morbidity and mortality in children have greatly decreased. This study was carried out prior to the inclusion of RVV in the state vaccination schedule in 2019. The objective of the study was to estimate the burden of Rota Virus Gastroeneteritis in kids under 5 years of age, attending a government tertiary care hospital in the state and to identify the common circulating genotypes of Rotavirus.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Stool samples from children with more than three episodes of loose stool that were negative for bacterial enteric pathogens were tested by Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for Rotavirus antigen.
