Under the National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP), Active Case Finding (ACF) campaigns are conducted in defined high-risk groups. According to the current ACF operational guidelines, the minimum number of rounds of ACF to be completed annually in a district is:

• A Two rounds per year ✓
• B One round per year
• C Three rounds per year
• D Four rounds per year

Explanation

NTEP guidelines mandate a minimum of two rounds of Active Case Finding per district annually, covering all identified vulnerable and high-risk populations systematically. One round is insufficient for adequate case yield, while three and four rounds are not the minimum prescribed standard in the operational framework.
