News: <\/strong>The Prime Minister of India has set the goal of making India TB free by 2025 which is ahead of the global target of 2030 for eliminating the disease.<\/p>\n

Jan Bhagidari plays an important role in achieving this target.<\/p>\n

GoI has launched Ni-kshay Poshan Yojana <\/strong>under the aegis of the National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP) to achieve this target.<\/p>\n

What is Ni-kshay Poshan Yojana?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

This scheme helps patients to target their nutritional requirements.<\/p>\n

This scheme has helped 62.71 lakh TB patients with financial support of Rs 1,651 crore between 2018 and June 2022.<\/p>\n

This includes direct benefit transfer of Rs 500 per month into the bank account of the person with TB.<\/p>\n

What is Ni-Kshay 2.0 portal?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

GoI has recently initiated the Ni-Kshay 2.0 portal under the Pradhan Mantri TB-Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan.<\/p>\n

This was launched by President Droupadi Murmu.<\/p>\n

The objective of Ni-kshay 2.0 is to end the existing social problems and discrimination against TB patients<\/strong> by providing nutritional and social support.<\/p>\n

Any individual or organization (corporates, NGOs, etc.) can register as Ni-kshay Mitra on the Ni-kshay 2.0 portal to support people affected by the disease.<\/p>\n

TB patients can be supported for a minimum duration of one year<\/strong> and a maximum of three years<\/strong> in any block or district across the country.<\/p>\n

What kind of support do patients need? <\/strong><\/h5>\n

TB patients need three kinds of essential supports. They are:<\/p>\n

First,<\/strong> a kit that contains appropriate food and supplements to take care of patient\u2019s nutritional needs.<\/p>\n

Second,<\/strong> patients\u2019 need support for additional lab-based diagnostic requirements.<\/p>\n

Third,<\/strong> support is needed to provide patients with vocational skills which will help them to join the workforce and live a prosperous and productive life.<\/p>\n

GoI also provide free diagnosis, free medicines and other kinds of support to people who have been affected by the disease.<\/p>\n

What role is played by Jan Bhagadari and how important is it?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Jan Bhagidari (people\u2019s participation) plays an important role in achieving any target and making India a prosperous nation.<\/p>\n

Swachh Bharat Mission, Covid vaccination drive and the recently Har Ghar Tiranga campaign are successful examples of Jan Bhagaidari (people\u2019s participation).<\/p>\n

Therefore, collective strength and people\u2019s participation is needed to move towards a TB-free India by 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
