On World Tuberculosis Day, we continued our efforts to support TB patients through the distribution of nutritional kits under the PM Nikshay Mitra initiative, reaching communities across Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Gujarat.
Since 2023, we have supported over 29,500 TB patients by providing six-month nutritional kits across Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Currently, more than 1,300 patients continue to receive monthly support on a six-month rotational basis, aligned with programme guidelines.
Our on-ground efforts span multiple regions, with nearly 950 kits distributed across Pune, Ratnagiri and Satara in Maharashtra, around 165 kits in Vadodara, Gujarat, and 200 kits across Rajasthan. While our support in Uttar Pradesh concluded in 2024, the impact created there continues to guide our work in other locations.
This year, our efforts were recognised by the District Health Officer and health authorities in Satara, and by the TB Department in Vadodara, Gujarat. Our work was also featured across publications including Dainik Bhaskar, Mahanagar Times, Hindustan Express, Dainik Samrat, Kalwad Times and Rajasthan Patrika, helping amplify awareness and community participation.
As we mark this day, we remain focused on continuity of care and collective action, working towards a TB-free future for India.
