The role of STDCs in building the capacity of NTEP personnel is pivotal to achieving the goals set forth by the National Strategic Plan 2017–2025. Through effective training and continuous updates, STDCs ensure that all cadres of NTEP staff are well-equipped to deliver high-quality TB care. STDC Agra’s meticulous planning and execution of training for 1017 Senior Treatment Supervisors over a two-year period serves as a prime example of how a structured, well-coordinated approach can successfully align with national priorities. STDC Agra has demonstrated the critical impact of robust training in enhancing TB service delivery and contributing to the broader goal of ending TB in India.

                                                                                                     

"Our success in delivering effective STS training in Uttar Pradesh was rooted in a systematic approach. First, we collected a detailed line list of all STS across the state. Then, we distributed responsibilities and ensured accountability for every task. Each team member had a specific role, whether it was planning the batches, addressing participant queries, or maintaining the training environment. We mobilized resources, created WhatsApp groups, and ensured seamless coordination—right from sending welcome emails to arranging guest lectures and hospitality. Every trainer was handpicked, and we had a dedicated person overseeing the entire training process. Finally, gathering feedback became essential for quality assurance and continuous improvement. This structure allowed us to deliver consistently high-quality training for all 75 districts for STS cadre”.
