This film is about the innovative attempt by TB Champions to reduce risk of air pollution and improve lung health of the TB-affected community. TB Champions noticed that many families were using traditional chulhas despite being counselled on the risks of indoor air pollution. TB Champions realised that an innovative solution was needed to address the problem. They discussed the concept of smokeless chulhas with the local NTEP staff. With their support, training was given to the local Mitanins (ASHA workers) who helped families who had a person with TB adopt a smokeless Chulha. Together, they worked out that if even one family agreed to adopt a smokeless chulha in their house, 10 to 15 women (could) gather to observe the process of making the chulha and would be encouraged to introduce the same in their respective households. Slowly but steadily, the movement grew. At present, more than 200 families have adopted smokeless chulhas in their houses across three districts in the state.
