Commending the leadership and participation of the Rajasthan MPs, Shri Nadda applauded the state\u2019s achievements in expanding access to TB screening and treatment while stressing the need for continued vigilance to counter the challenge of asymptomatic TB. He noted that India\u2019s TB incidence has declined by 21% between 2015 and 2024, nearly twice as fast as the global rate, and the country now records a 90% treatment success rate, as reported in the WHO Global TB Report 2025.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Minister urged parliamentarians to lead from the front in strengthening district-level action, supporting Ni-kshay Mitras, and mobilizing communities to eliminate TB stigma and ensure timely diagnosis and care. \u201cThe TB Mukt Bharat initiative exemplifies how political will and public participation can come together to end an age-old public health challenge,\u201d he emphasized.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Rajasthan MPs resolved to expand local awareness campaigns, organize Ni-kshay Shivirs for early detection, and ensure routine oversight of TB interventions within their constituencies. They reiterated their commitment to championing community-led initiatives that provide nutritional, psychosocial, and livelihood support to people affected by TB.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
