2. Why we are interested in tuberculosis:
We are working in that part of rural India where farmer's suicide plight is still continuing. Our community is struggling for basic needs so health issue is always disregarded. Percentage of tobacco chewing ("Guthka"), Bidi (cigaratte) smoking, etc. in youth is now a days multiplying and similarly the people suffering with TB, lung diseases, etc is increasing considerably. Due to illetracy and poverty peoples are not aware about treatment on TB. Even in present era peoples are considering TB as exacerbate disease having no treatment exist to cure. So I want to switch over to this issue and make the people aware about the fact.
