The document provides a template for medical colleges to track their performance in implementing tuberculosis (TB) control activities. It includes sections to record details of the core committee overseeing TB activities, engagement in diagnosis and treatment, human resource status, and contribution of the college to TB case notification in the district for pulmonary TB, extrapulmonary TB, and pediatric TB on a quarterly basis. Maintaining the template with up-to-date data will help evaluate the college's progress in key areas of the national TB elimination program.
