As part of the 100-day campaign under the TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan relaunched on March 24, 2026, an awareness and screening programme was organised at the Regional Ayurveda Research Centre (RARC) Conference Hall, Dimapur. The initiative was spearheaded by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in collaboration with states and stakeholders, with RARC functioning under the Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences, Ministry of AYUSH, and the State District TB Control Programme, Nagaland.
Tuberculosis continues to pose a major public health challenge, and the nationwide campaign reflects the collective resolve to eliminate TB and build a healthier India. The programme brought together healthcare professionals and beneficiaries, stressing the importance of early detection and timely treatment.
During the event, 50 beneficiaries were screened, with five identified as suspected TB cases at the initial stage. Research Officer in-charge, Dr. Dipsundar Sahu, highlighted the role of Ayurveda in promoting overall health and urged beneficiaries to visit the RARC OPD or nearby healthcare facilities for regular check-ups and to adopt healthy lifestyles. Treatment supervisor, Renvungi encouraged individuals with TB-related symptoms to seek prompt medical attention and informed them of the benefits and support provided by the government. The programme was coordinated by Dr. Laiphrakpam Renu, Consultant (Ay.), while the vote of thanks was delivered by Nikhil Krishna, Research Assistant (Bot.).
