NTP was pilot tested in Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh during 1961 and thereafter the programme was launched throughout the country. In 1992, the Government of India together with the World Health Organization (WHO) and Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) reviewed the National TB Programme and concluded that it suffered from managerial weakness, inadequate funding, over-reliance on x-ray, non-standard treatment regimens, low rates of treatment completion and lack of systematic information on treatment outcomes. Programme review showed that only 30% of patients were diagnosed and only 30% of those treated successfully. Based on the findings and recommendations of the review in 1992, the GOI evolved a revised strategy and launched the Revised National TB Control Programme (RNTCP).
1961年，全国结核病防治规划（NTP）在安得拉邦的阿南塔布尔区进行了试点测试，此后该项目在全国范围内启动。1992年，印度政府与世界卫生组织（WHO）和瑞典国际开发署（SIDA）共同对国家结核病规划进行了审查，得出的结论是该规划存在管理薄弱、资金不足、过度依赖X光检查、治疗方案不标准、治疗完成率低以及缺乏治疗结果的系统信息等问题。项目审查显示，只有30%的患者得到诊断，而接受治疗的患者中只有30%获得成功治疗。基于1992年审查的结果和建议，印度政府制定了修订后的战略并启动了修订后的国家结核病控制规划（RNTCP）。
