Abstract Background: The present study was conducted for assessing the prevalence of Pulmonary Tuberculosis among Adults in a known population. Materials & methods: It was possible to find a list of both urban and rural municipal wards. The study's survey locations were selected at random from a list of all the villages and municipal wards. The sputum collection team and the enumerator team, who worked concurrently in the same area, made up the bulk of the field survey staff. In the event of contamination or a lack of growth after eight weeks, the cultures were thrown away. SPSS software was used to record and interpret each outcome. Analysis of univariate regression was utilised to determine the level of significance. Results: Overall, TB was confirmed in 18.5 percent of the cases. Majority proportion of TB patients belonged to the age group of 41 to 50 years (60 percent). 63.78 percent of the patients were males while the remaining were females. 58.92 percent of the patients belonged to rural residence. Conclusion: Low prevalence of TB in our study might be attributed to better health infrastructure at the study location.
