INTRODUCTION
The World Health Organization, defined health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not a merely absence of disease or infirmity. The impact of any disease, especially a chronic illness like tuberculosis, on an individual patient is therefore often all-encompassing, affecting not only his physical health but also his psychological, economic, and social well-being. Although these results provide important information regarding the disease, it is often impossible to separate the disease from the individual's personal and social context, especially in chronic and progressive diseases.

India shares almost a third of this global tuberculosis burden. With nearly 2 million incidents cases and half a million deaths annually, tuberculosis is certainly an enormous public health problem in this country.
