The Pradhan Mantri TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan was virtually launched by the Honorable President of India, Smt Droupadi Murmu on September 9, 2022 to support patients undergoing TB treatment and accelerate the country’s progress towards TB elimination.
In order to provide additional patient support to improve treatment outcome of TB patients and leverage Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) opportunities, Government of India launched NI-KSHAY portal-A digital platform for community support for the persons with TB.
To augment its CSR support towards ending TB, Central Coalfields Limited (CCL) has registered as a Nikshay Mitra on NI-KSHAY portal in September, 2022 for providing nutritional care support for patients with Tuberculosis (TB) in Latehar and Chatra district, Jharkhand.
Central Coalfields Limited has signed an MOU with Child In Need Institute (CINI), Jharkhand on 2 nd
January, 2023 for providing nutrition basket (for 6 months) and support for mental well-being for patients
with Tuberculosis (TB) in Latehar and Chatra District, Jharkhand.
Primary beneficiaries will be 1400 TB patients under treatment, in Chatra and Latehar Districts, who have given consent for nutrition support in NI-KSHAY portal of GoI. For this, State/District TB Cell will also support CCL in its efforts to identify beneficiaries under intimation to concerned District Administration.
This effort by CCL, through its CSR, is a positive approach towards its commitment to eliminate TB in these two districts.
