The Prime Minister chaired a high-level review meeting on the National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP) on 13th May, 2025 to assess the progress made by 100-day TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan initiative.

12.97 million vulnerable people were checked as part of the effort, 7.19 lakh TB cases (including asymptomatic cases) were found, and more than 1 lakh new Ni-kshay Mitras were hired to assist patients. Special attention was given to workers in industries like construction, mining, and textiles, where TB risk is higher.

Emphasis was placed on decentralizing TB services via Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, promoting AI diagnostics, new molecular tests, and digital connectivity for enhanced patient care.

The highlights of  WHO Global TB Report 2024 in India's progress include:

• 21% decrease in TB mortality

• 18% decrease in TB incidence.

• 85% treatment coverage.

India significantly expanded TB diagnostic infrastructure with 8,540 NAAT (Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing) labs, 87 culture labs, and 26,700 X-ray units and  500 AI-enabled handheld devices.

The Ni-kshay Poshan Yojana provided direct benefit transfers to 1.28 crore TB patients with increased financial support.
