Various schemes to rehabilitate TB patients operating
in England such as the Village Settlement concept where ex-patients
live in settlements surrounding the sanatorium from which they have
graduated, pioneered by Sir Pendrill Varrier-Jones at Cambridge,
and in other countries are presented to focus attention on certain
fundamentals and to stress that the attack on TB must be multilateral.
Few Village Settlements have been developed in the past 15 years,
as they only catered to a small proportion of the total tuberculous
population. For countries such as India, it is considered impractical
to embark on such large and expensive rehabilitation schemes. Rather,
rehabilitation should focus on serving at least the basic needs
of the patients. An important flaw in rehabilitation is the failure
to test the results of treatment. There is a need for medical supervision
of the patient while under treatment to ascertain whether he can
maintain his physical condition in spite of gradually increasing
expenditure of energy in exercise of various forms. Occupations
for rehabilitation patients should be based on their physical capacity.
A common and widespread effort by the State, industry and voluntary
organisations is needed to bring TB under control.

The problem of rehabilitation of TB patients is
not confined to medicine alone. The co-operation of other fields,
psychology, sociology and economics must combine with medicine to
obtain tangible, positive results. Sir Pendrill Varrier-Joness
idea to bring work to the patient has had a salutary effect and
is now recognised as the main method of rehabilitation. The most
vulnerable period during which relapses occur are the first two
years after the TB patients discharge. Hence, all patients
discharged from institutions should be looked after for a further
period of 2-3 years while making the patients feel they are being
trained in some occupation. Colonisation or establishment of settlements
for ex-patients serves this purpose. The advantages of colonisation
are presented. The two main factors to be considered in rehabilitation
after discharge are: 1) General principles with regard to the patient
(which focus on the need to address the psychological fear and needs
of the patient) and, 2) General principles with regard to the industries
(which highlight the need for industry to be built around a worker)
and taking various steps to protect the well-being, both physical
and emotional, of the ex-patients. Making the services of ex-patients
available for outside jobs and using machinery to the fullest extent
in industries would resolve some criticisms leveled at settlements.

The purpose of the paper was to analyse the problem
of relief for poor TB patients who were getting treatment from the
out-patient department of the NDTC. For the convenience of the study,
the problems of relief in TB were categorised into 3 groups based
on the stage at which they arose. The categories of patients and
their families being helped were listed. The problems encountered
by patients in the three categories are explained in detail, the
relief measures provided are presented and suggestions are offered
to alleviate the above problems.

The non-medical aspects of out-patient care of
the TB patient over the years of the twentieth century to the present
are described in this paper. The various Acts invoked over the years
provided for such relief measures to TB patients as supplementing
the family budget through redeemable food coupons, providing beds
and bedding and grants to construct an additional room in the patient's
home, establishing retraining schools and residential farms. Placement
Officer's Office, where an officer assessed patients for their capabilities
of work and placed them in suitable employment, was also organised.

The survey of the field of social work in India
reveals that the prevailing level of social services and welfare
services is extremely low. Both the Indian social work education
and its professional organization are influenced by the American
social philosophy which is inappropriate to the prevailing conditions
in Indian society. The total absence of indigenous study material
based on Indian culture and society further diminishes the applicability
of the professional social work taught in the schools of social
work. With the rapid growth of urbanization and industrialization
now, the need to develop social administration approach to social
work has emerged. The professional social worker's responsibility
in this overall context is suggested.
