World TB Day

Tuberculosis Day is celebrated every year in India as well as in the world on 24 March.

In the year 1882, Dr. Robert Koch discovered the bacteria that cause tuberculosis and also provided a way to diagnose and treat this disease.


Tuberculosis (TB) is the deadliest infectious disease in the world. Every day in the world more than 28 thousand people get sick from this preventable disease and more than 4100 people lose their lives due to tuberculosis. Since 2000, TB control efforts worldwide have saved an estimated 66 million lives. The covid-19 pandemic has come at a time when global efforts to eradicate TB have slowed down the process of TB eradication.


India has made TB eradication a priority and has increased its budget by up to 70 percent and called for ending TB by 2025.


TB may seem like an isolated disease, but one-third of the world's population is infected with the disease, often without the patient even knowing they have it.


How to avoid

TB is easy to test for, so if in doubt, get tested right away

Most of the time even the person suffering from this disease does not feel the symptoms of this disease so it is important to spread awareness about it.


Tuberculosis is neglected due to outdated misconceptions. Spreading awareness about the disease will help those at high risk seek treatment.


With proper care, vaccination and planning, we can see the end of this disease in the future.

Travel: I had came to Sambhajinagar related to my work. Literally I had no idea that Aurangabad has so many amazing caves. After Inquiring at the hotel where I was staying, I found out that Aurangabad has caves, as well I got some more information about these caves online and decided to visit them. Firstly I went to 'Bibi ka Makbara' from Aurangabad Central Bus Stand. After seeing enjoyed beauty of 'Bibi Ka Maqbara', I decided not to go directly near these caves to explore more details. I got down at Hanuman Tekadi,which is 2 km ahead from Auto. From 'Hanuman Tekadi' these caves start to appear. Geographically,these caves are at the very end of the Ajanta hill range but, here this called as Aurangabad hill.I walked about 2km from the Hanuman Tekdi area and reached the parking lot of Cave No.6 to 12. Ticket counter available near this parking lot. This cave is around 100 to 150 meters away from the ticket counter, we have to walk that much distance to...

Hinayana & Mahayana Sects: There are many sects of Buddhism in the world but among them Hinayana and Mahayana are the major sects. Once we understand the Hinayana and Mahayana sects it becomes easy to understand these caves. After the Mahaparinirvana of Lord Gautama Buddha, for about 100 years, Buddhist monks and followers of Buddhism practiced according to the original thoughts of Gautama Buddha. At that time, Lord Gautama Buddha was worshiped in the form of a stupa. There is such a stupa in Chaitya Caves in Aurangabad. Also, there are no Idols carved on the wall of this Chaitya cave, because idol worship was not acceptable at that time, but at the same time there were some followers among these followers who thought that Lord Gautama Buddha was an incarnation of God. Similarly, during the reign of Emperor Kanishka, one hundred years after Lord Gautama Buddha's Mahaparinirvana, a religious council was held in India. In this religious council, there were internal disputes a...

Water is the most important thing that supports life on earth, but how difficult it is to get clean and drinkable water, only those know who do not get water to drink. About 71% of the water on the earth, 98% of which is in the sea, only less than 3% of the water is potable, out of 3% potable water, 65% is in the form of glaciers, 1% is potable water in rivers, streams, lakes and reservoirs and 0.3% is groundwater. Potable water is an essential thing for the progress of all living beings on earth. Water is a very important thing for every living being, from trees to humans, that's why it is called life without water. The level of clean and potable water varies significantly from year to year, due to climate change, the rules of how much potable water is currently available to you are changing. Modifiers indicate that extreme floods, droughts and changing rainfall patterns indicate that water-related disasters will become more serious day by day. Today most of the people...
