Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide. India is still the highest TB burden country. There is a scarcity of data on TB knowledge from Rajasthan state of India. Objective: The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of knowledge about TB and services of TB control programme and to determine its correlates among rural population of Jaipur, Rajasthan. Methods: Cross-sectional community based study was carried out at Model Rural Health Research Unit, Jaipur, a unit of Department of Health Research, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India. Results: Study reports the result from 1993 adult participants from 10 villages of 2 sub-districts of district Jaipur. About 88.9% of studied participants knew that TB is an infectious disease and it spreads from TB patient to healthy person in close contact. Only 22.3% of participants knew "DOTS is the treatment for TB". While, only 58.9% knew "sputum is used for diagnosis of TB" at health centers. Scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and backward classes social groups knew less than the mainstream "General" social group. The observed difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis estimated the relative contribution to knowledge status. Conclusion: The knowledge of study participants on transmission of How to cite this paper:
Few decades back, a Nano word with big promising has been precipitously implying itself into the world's
realization and associates with everyday life, economics and globally consequences. Functionalization of
textile polymers has been practiced by different techniques to confer new properties on to the fibre so as to
enable their application in fields other than textile industry. Nanotechnology may deliver the better
performances and functionality to the textile materials due to the high surface area and energy. Further,
Nanoparticles can apply on the fabrics by coating method without affecting the comfort and feel of the fabrics.
It has improved the various properties like ultra violet protection, antibacterial and stain proof etc. LBL
techniques is used to produce a thin polymeric film in a controlled manner on a surface of fabrics by using of
different size of molecular weights and charges of polyelectrolytes. The unique feature of this technique is
that it forms a very thin layer on fabric surface (1-10 nm) as compared to other available techniques; thus, no
deterioration of surface properties of the substrate on which they are deposited. Nano TiO2 and ZnO particles
along with polyelectrolytes and produce PEM on the Nylon 66 substrate by using LBL technique to get the
antimicrobial and Ultraviolet protection property.
