ITANAGAR, Sep 9: Governor Brig. (Dr.) B.D. Mishra (Retd.) attended the virtual launch of ‘Pradhan Mantri TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan’  Ni-Kshay 2.0 by the President of India Droupadi Murmu today. 
Launching the campaign, Murmu highlighted the need for a societal approach to bring together people from all backgrounds to achieve the ambitious target of eliminating Tuberculosis from the country by 2025. 'Pradhan Mantri TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan' is a step towards garnering community support towards the TB patient-centric health system. Leading with example, the Governor volunteered to adopt two Tuberculosis patients under the campaign from his personal funds.  

Mishra appealed to the people of Arunachal Pradesh to generously adopt TB patients in the state and make the ‘Pradhan Mantri TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan’, a ‘Jan Andolan’ to make Arunachal Pradesh Tuberculosis free.
It is the responsibility of every citizen to contribute towards the wellbeing of fellow citizens in health crises, Mishra said. He urged upon NGOs, corporate houses and also individuals for financial contributions to support dietary requirements of TB patients as prescribed under the Abhiyan.
Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare also addressed the virtual meet, which was attended by all Governors and Lt. Governors.
