Dalmia Bharat Foundation (DBF), the CSR arm of Dalmia Bharat Ltd, has distributed 130 nutrition kits to tuberculosis (TB) patients at the Community Health Centre (CHC) here under the Nikshya Mitra initiative, aimed at supporting patients during their treatment and recovery.

The initiative seeks to complement medical treatment with nutritional assistance, recognising the important role of adequate nutrition alongside regular medication in supporting the health and recovery of TB patients.

As part of its continued efforts towards TB eradication, DBF has been providing nutrition kits to active TB patients under the Nikshya Mitra initiative. During 2025-26, the foundation distributed more than 1,000 nutrition kits across its operational areas, benefiting TB patients in communities around Rajgangpur.

The latest distribution programme was held in the presence of the Medical Officer and doctors from CHC Rajgangpur, members of the Dalmia Cement Bharat Ltd (DCBL) HR team, and representatives of the DBF and CSR teams.

Speaking on the initiative, Ashutosh Kumar Tiwary, Deputy Executive Director and Unit Head, Rajgangpur, said community health and well-being were integral to sustainable development.

"Through our continued efforts under the Nikshya Mitra initiative, we aim to complement medical treatment with nutritional support and help TB patients through their treatment and recovery. We remain committed to working with healthcare institutions and local communities to contribute towards the vision of a TB-free India," he said.

Besides providing nutritional assistance, the foundation has been conducting awareness activities to promote timely diagnosis, treatment adherence and greater awareness about TB prevention and care.

The initiatives are aimed at supporting patients throughout their treatment, while also improving community awareness and helping reduce the stigma associated with the disease.

Dalmia Bharat Foundation said it remains committed to promoting the health, dignity and well-being of communities through sustained grassroots interventions and collaboration with local stakeholders.
