10 TB free panchayat representatives will be rewarded
The minister said that work is being done to make people aware of TB in all the districts and to make the Panchayat TB free.

The representatives of the first 10 TB-free panchayats will be rewarded at the state level by the state government. Along with this, gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded to all TB-free panchayats.
Government is doing everything possible to eradicate TB

In this direction, efforts are being made to work in coordination with Labour, Industry, Mining, Social Security, Postal Department, Tribal Welfare Department etc.
People want to hide the disease due to misconceptions
The Health Minister of Jharkhand said that there are many small and big industries in the state. There are many public enterprises and there is a lot of mines. We are reaching the remote areas of the state with the help of Sahiya, but we are not able to reach the employees working in these factories, mines etc. People go to their workplace during working hours and they are not able to meet our health workers. On the other hand, people want to hide the disease due to misconceptions and spread TB disease to other people.

Can make a campaign to do. This is Unique Employee Lead Model. We have full faith that after the implementation of this policy, people will be able to make their workplace TB free.

TB should be tested by organizing camp in Panchayat: Labor Minister
At the same time, Labor Employment Training and Skill Development Minister Satyanand Bhokta said that a separate wing should be made for TB in all districts and other hospitals. Due to this, people will not hesitate to get the investigation done. Said that TB should be tested by setting up camps in the Panchayat. Investigation is also necessary in hard to rich areas.
Number of infected patients increases due to lack of timely treatment
He said that if a person has TB and is not treated, he can infect about 10 to 15 new people in a year. Officers-employees etc. working in our industries, tomorrow-factories work very close to each other, due to which there is more risk of infection from each other. Also, workers in many industries, especially in the mining sector, live in a dusty environment, where the risk of lung disease is high and the risk of TB infection in diseased lungs increases. This is a commendable step by the government to make the workplace TB free.
