Jharkhand Achieves Kala-azar Elimination Milestone: All Blocks Meet National Target

Intensive insecticide spraying has proven highly effective in controlling the disease's spread. While progress is substantial, challenges like poverty and malnutrition remain in the state's quest for complete eradication by 2030.
