Another Different Material on Elephants, TB Seals



A proposal to introduce the TB Seal to raise funds for anti-tuberculosis work in India was first considered in 1944, but it had to be deferred for because of the War conditions in the country, the post-war days were also found unfavourable for embarking on such a new venture. The Tuberculosis Association of India adopted the proposal in October, 1950. The Government of India permitted the Association to conduct the campaign every year from 1950 onwards.

The annual TB Seal reflect the resolve and determination of the Association to combat tuberculosis. The income from TB Seal Campaigns goes to the State and District Associations, research and 5 percent to the TB Association of India.

A TB Seal Campaign is conducted every year to raise funds for the fight against TB. The Campaign is inaugurated by H.E. the President of India on 2nd October – the Gandhi Jayanti Day.

The Seals are attractively designed and cost only Rs.2/-. These are available with all the State TB Associations affiliated with Tuberculosis Association of India.
