Diabetes, alcohol use, and loss to follow-up are commonly cited as drivers, but concrete local evidence has been limited. This project applies data-science and epidemiological methods to NTEP (Ni-kshay) records to characterise TB notification, comorbidity, and differentiated-care patterns in the state.
