To create mass awareness and critical consciousness on TB and Malaria among the marginalised communities specifically in hard-to-reach areas- SC Settlements, 40 Coastal Fisher Folk habitations, Sex-Workers concentrated in Viralimalai hilly terrain, and factory workers for whom occupational health care is inaccessible due to unorganised worker’s status through cultural actions-theatre forms and also using IEC materials and social media. This will address sensitising communities in hither to unreached areas. 2. To identify TB patients/latent symptomatic TB patients in the clusters/villages using Rapid Participatory Rural Appraisals-RPRA on health, food security, nutritional security and common property resources-potential for home edible gardens, community edible garden to grow vegetables and fruits to supplement nutritional and food security for patients. This strategy will break ice and motivate affected people/latent patients to share their health problems. 3.
