| description | The Indian government aims to eliminate tuberculosis (TB) by 2025 due to its high morbidity and mortality. India has much to do to lower TB rates. This research examined Koppal district of Karnataka, South India's village adoption model for tuberculosis detection, treatment, and prevention. The authors used an exploratory research design. After a screening process, the participants comprised 8 TB patients and 13 healthcare workers were recruited from the Koppal district through purposive sampling technique. A total of 21 semi-structured interviews were conducted among these selected beneficiaries and health professionals. Conventional content analysis was used to analyse the data obtained from the interviews. From the analysis, seven themes emerged from the health care workers and eight themes emerged from the beneficiaries. The major themes from the beneficiaries included critical roles in project management, private practitioners' reactions, healthcare workers' implementation experiences, initiatives beyond project staff, execution challenges, strategies to overcome them, and reasons for non-use. From the health care professionals, main themes were their experiences, process insights, patient emotions, programme services, beneficiaries' dislikes, suggestions, satisfaction, and thoughts on expanding the initiative to other regions. The Koppal District village adoption model was helpful in understanding private-sector dynamics and patient preferences. The project helped health professionals and communities promote TB knowledge, treatment adherence, and the TB agenda. Finally, this technique made Koppal district in Karnataka, India, TB-free.
