In a significant stride towards public health, the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Ltd. (IREDA) organized an Awareness Session and Ni-Kshay Shivir (Screening Camp) at its Corporate Office in New Delhi. This initiative is part of the 100-Day Intensified Campaign on TB Elimination, spearheaded by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India.
Focus on TB Awareness and Screening
The event aimed at educating IREDA employees, including contractual staff, on TB prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment for silent TB infections. The Ni-Kshay Shivir provided on-site screening and consultations, encouraging timely medical intervention.
A dedicated team from the Centre TB Division, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, conducted the screenings and awareness sessions. During the event, IREDA’s Director (Finance), Dr. Bijay Kumar Mohanty, administered the “Ni-Kshay Shapath” (pledge for a TB-free India) to all employees through a virtual platform. The two-day Shivir will continue tomorrow.
