Publications - Released in 2019

BSS in the general population and high-risk groups is proposed to be undertaken thrice during the period 2001 – 2005. To provide an independent evaluation of NACP-II activities, an external agency was contracted for BSS.

The present report details the observations of the national baseline BSS survey among the general population, which was conducted in all 32 States and Union Territories of the country. This baseline provides basic information needed to strategize and prioritize programs under NACP-II during its five years of implementation.
