  • Focus on screening vulnerable populations for early detection of TB

PULWAMA: As part of intensified activities under the TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan – 100 Days Campaign, the National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP) Pulwama is conducting a series of Shivirs across the district, with a focused approach on screening vulnerable populations through Ayushman Arogya Mandirs (AAMs).

These outreach camps are being organised in identified high-risk areas to ensure early detection of tuberculosis (TB) cases among vulnerable groups, including the elderly, malnourished individuals, persons with co-morbidities, household contacts of TB patients, and other socio-economically disadvantaged sections of the population.

During the Shivirs, active screening is being carried out through symptom identification, community interaction, and mobilisation of individuals for further diagnostic evaluation. Presumptive TB cases are being promptly referred to nearby health institutions for confirmatory testing, including X-ray examination and other advanced diagnostic facilities available under the programme.

In addition to screening, the camps are serving as an important platform for generating awareness about TB symptoms, prevention, and the importance of adherence to complete treatment. Information regarding free diagnostic services, treatment, and nutritional support available under NTEP is also being disseminated among the public.

The initiative aims to bridge gaps in access to healthcare services and ensure that no vulnerable individual is left behind in the fight against tuberculosis. The Shivirs have been witnessing encouraging participation from the community, reflecting increased awareness and cooperation in TB elimination efforts.

We at JK Monitor are profoundly saddened by the sudden demise of our Founding Chairman, Dr. Priya Ranjan.IN LOVING MEMORY Dr Priya Ranjan

A brilliant mind who studied at Netarhat Residential School and graduated in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur before earning his PhD from the University of Maryland, Dr. Ranjan chose to return to India and dedicate his life to teaching, research and social good.

His pioneering work in networked systems, AI, robotics and biomedical applications—especially computer-vision tools for early detection of cancer and heart disease—reflected his deep belief that advanced technology must serve humanity.

For more than 15 years at JK Monitor, he remained a loyal friend, mentor and collaborator, marked by rare humility, intellectual integrity and quiet generosity. His passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Priya, you will be deeply missed. Your life continues to remind us that knowledge finds its highest purpose in the service of others.
