Coal India Limited (CIL) marked the success of its CSR initiative, Thalassemia Bal Sewa Yojana (TBSY), which provides free bone marrow transplants for children with thalassemia and aplastic anaemia.

Minister of Coal and Mines, Shri G. Kishan Reddy, announced the goal of "One State, One Hospital" to expand accessibility for bone marrow transplants.

Over 700 children have received life-saving transplants under TBSY, significantly improving their health and easing financial burdens for families.

The initiative began with four hospitals and has since expanded to 17 premier healthcare institutions. An online portal helps with real-time applications and monitoring, while awareness campaigns extend the program’s reach to rural areas.

Officials emphasized early screening, genetic counseling, and prevention measures to reduce future cases. Leading hospitals were felicitated for their contributions, and testimonials from beneficiary families highlighted the program’s transformative impact.
