Abstract	In India, TB infects more than 30 percent of its population which is called latent TB infection. The essential source for spread of TB infection is the case with active TB disease. To decrease the burden of Latent TB infection, the best level of prevention is the secondary prevention by screening and diagnosing active TB disease and treating such cases to reduce the source of infection in the community. The importance of such google map has been increased many folds under the circumstances of achieving the Gold Medal by the district Kupwara for elimination of Tuberculosis. Because after achieving such award the general public as well as majority of stakeholders of NTEP in Kupwara have become more reluctant which may adversely affect the NTEP in the District. Seeing is believing, so google map with real time add-on cases of newly notified TB cases w.e.f. 1st January 2023 may become an effective tool for convincing the general public and the secondary and tertiary level stakeholders of NTEP to accept the reality of ongoing threat of TB at the village & panchayat level about the need for continuation of their contribution at individual level as well as community level so that incidence of TB can be further decreased in comparison to the incidence of TB in 2015. It is expected that such visual depiction of TB density may create awareness in the community for the enhancement of activities to fight against TB by its early diagnosis and treatment.
