The focus is to activate the activities. In a severely endemic state for Fluorosis, ie., Rajasthan, a project investigated to find out the road blocks, if any. Firstly in 5 Teaching Hospitals and secondly in 6 District Hospitals the activities were launched. The programmes were assessed for its impact and views of the Doctors were ascertained. The District Hospital Doctors cater to urban to rural communities. ANMs and ASHAs are linked to activities and they in turn reach out to every household in a village or habitat. Management of the disease(s) through diet editing and diet counselling were practical to get relieved of the disease in a shorter span of time. Drug prescriptions are important but nutrients through diet play a major role. The project implemented revealed the inadequacies in making arrangements for conducting MEs, the reason for failures of MEs in the past in other states. Lack of interdepartmental collaborations, strengths and weaknesses of the programme highlighted. The programme conducted revealed the novel approach to yield beneficial outcome both in the social and developmental sectors.
