A degree of resentment against the problem of TB is necessary for the intensification of efforts on the part of the Government and the involvement of the whole community in these efforts. This can only be brought about when a state of awareness is created once again, as it was, following the last National Sample Survey. This is only possible by plotting the date of incidence and prevalence of the disease and, repeating this procedure over points in time to establish a trend. Placing a representative of the community as a multi-purpose worker at each Primary Health Care center, widening the scope of the DTP so as to involve as many practitioners as possible, improving the diagnostic and treatment facilities at the peripheral center in remote areas and, conducting periodic surveys to create awareness, are some suggested measures to solve the problem of TB.
