Intensive monitoring & supervision.
Intensified Information, Education and Communication (IEC) and Behavior Change communication (BCC) activities involving community.

Present Scenario of the Programme :

Training:- At district level, different training programmes of various technical malaria staff such as Assistant Malaria Officer (AMO), MPW Supervisor, MPW (Male & Female) and also Community Volunteers including ASHA are being conducted from time to time under the supervision of District Health & Family Welfare Society.

Moreover Medical Officers (AYUSH) have been involved for monitoring & supervision of respective institutions.
Early Diagnostic & Prompt Treatment (EDPT): In the year 1998-99 there was no scope for EDPT, but recently there is a scope for EDPT using Rapid Diagnostic Kits (RDK), which are already supplied at periphery level among ASHAs, MPWs, MPSs.
Declaration of Sentinel Surveillance Hospital (SSH): The Directorate of National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme, 22-Sham Nath Marg, Government of India, Delhi has declared the Manu CHC, Dhalai District and Santirbazer PHC, South Tripura district as Sentinel Surveillance Hospital (SSH) in the State of Tripura.
