On Gandhi Jayanti, NLR India remembers Mahatma Gandhi and his enduring message of compassion, dignity and equality.

Gandhiji believed that every person deserves respect and the opportunity to live with dignity. His vision of a society free from discrimination continues to inspire our efforts towards empowering persons affected by leprosy and disabilities.

Let us honour his legacy by choosing kindness over stigma, inclusion over exclusion, and dignity for all.

NLR India wishes everyone a meaningful Gandhi Jayanti.

Leprosy is curable, and early detection and treatment can prevent complications and disability. Awareness is the first step towards breaking the stigma and discrimination associated with leprosy. Watch our new awareness video to learn about the signs and symptoms of leprosy, the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, and how we can support those affected.

Together, we can create a more informed, compassionate, and inclusive society where everyone affected by leprosy can live with dignity and equality.

At NLR India, we were honoured to speak with H.E. Ms. Marisa Gerards, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to India, Nepal and Bhutan, about an issue that continues to demand our collective attention: leprosy.

In a thoughtful conversation, H.E. Ms. Gerards highlighted the importance of strengthening Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) engagement and collective action to accelerate early detection, treatment and prevention, and ultimately interrupt the transmission of leprosy.

Her recent visit to a leprosy colony in Delhi also offered a meaningful opportunity to connect with communities, listen to their experiences and see their aspirations beyond the disease.

We sincerely thank H.E. Ms. Marisa Gerards for her valuable time, empathy and commitment to advancing the cause of a leprosy-free India.

Together, through compassion, partnership and sustained action, we can help ensure that no one is left behind.

Strengthening Collective Action for Leprosy Prevention

Today, Association of People Affected by Leprosy (APAL) representatives came together in New Delhi for a meaningful workshop focused on strengthening their role in the prevention of leprosy.

The session provided an opportunity to understand the importance of early detection, early and complete treatment, and timely administration of preventive medicine. Participants actively engaged in group discussions, shared ideas, and explored practical ways APAL can contribute to each of these areas.

The discussions were positive, focused and encouraging, with a shared commitment to turn ideas into action. The active participation and exchange of experiences showed the power of working together towards a common goal.

Every step towards prevention brings us closer to a world free from leprosy. Together, with stronger advocacy, collaboration and community action, we can make prevention more effective and reach more people.

Together, let’s turn commitment into action and make a lasting difference.
