Objective<br />
� Establishing a sustainable decentralized system of disease surveillance for timely<br />
and effective public health action.<br />
� Integrating disease surveillance activities. To avoid duplication and facilitate<br />
sharing of information across all disease control programmes so that valid data<br />

Strategies adopted<br />
� Operationalization of norms and standards of case detection, reporting format.<br />
� Streamlining the MIS system- Establishing Web based & channels for data<br />
collection within the district and transmission mechanisms to state level.<br />
� Analyzing line listing of cases and Geographical Information Systems (GIS)<br />
mapping approach Preparation of graphs & charts on the basis of reports for<br />
planning strategies during epidemic outbreak.<br />
