Survey
India previously had done a national tuberculosis survey in 1956.

One of the reasons for the government leading a survey is that the private healthcare sector in India does not consistently report infectious disease to the central government. A national survey would be able to get this information.

The survey seeks to collect information on 50 crore people, making it the largest ever survey of this sort. It collects information through buses converted to mobile clinics, traveling around the country conducting screening and questioning.

The clinics are equipped with antibody and digital x-ray diagnostic testing equipment.

Union budget
The 2017 Union budget of India included investment goals for disease eradication. The plans included eliminating kala azar in 2017, leprosy in 2018, measles in 2020, and tuberculosis in 2025.

In the 2020 Union budget of India the Indian government committed to eliminating tuberculosis by 2025.
