Abstract

Despite being the world’s highest tuberculosis (TB) burden country, India still misses millions of TB cases annually. To address this issue, the India National Strategic Plan,following WHO strategy, promotes combining active case finding (ACF) with passive case finding (PCF) activities. National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP) began ACF campaigns thrice a year, targeting vulnerable populations. However, states like Mani�pur faced challenges in implementing and sustaining ACF activities due to resource constraints
