CSR-  Project Distribution of Nutritional food support to TB patients in collaboration with SBI

In 2026, with collaboration of State Bank of India, we have provided nutritional health support to 600 TB patients, across 6 districts of West Bengal. To  improve treatment adherence and cure rates. To encourage community participation in TB elimination. To strengthen TB care through strategic partnerships. To improve health indicators such as BMI, body weight, and immunity levels. Under this initiative, we successfully have distributed nutri-basket with Nishkay mitra IDs to TB patients, recognizing that proper nutrition plays vital role in strengthening immunity, improving treatment adherence, and accelerating recovery. We conduct regular health checkups to monitor BMI of the affected persons and it was seen that along with medicines proper nutrition was to be provided with soyabeans , chattu, eggs, chola, pulses. This integrated approach not only supports the physical well-being of patienmts but also helps reduce stigma, enhance awareness, and strengthen community participation in TB care.

Operation and Management of Waiting Hut for Pregnant Women

Under this scheme, the Waiting Hub is expected to accommodate 10 pregnant women at any given point of time DoH&FW is supposed to provide infrastructural set up and then handed it over to private partner selected on the basis of a bidding process, where electricity and water will be provided to the Hut free of cost by the DoH&FW. The prime role of the partnering private organization would be to operationalize and manage the waiting hut. This includes provide round the clock service to the pregnant women kept in the Hut along with timely management of obstetric complications. Initially in West Bengal the Waiting Hut is initiated in three remote blocks like Gosaba, Sandeshkhali II and Patharpratima. These blocks belong to geographically inaccessible India Sundarbans. Travelling is nearly impossible because of low tides as many ferry services stop. Later, Waiting Hut has been established in other backward and hard to reach districts of West Bengal like , Dakshin Dinajpur,.Alipurduar,Diamond Harbour Health District, South 24 Parganas. Presently the rate of institutional delivery in this region is at 47 percent.Therefore this Waiting Hut is surely a welcoming step by the state government to ensure timely and quality obstetric care for safe motherhood. In a recent call for proposal the State department has called for another 10 Waiting Huts in other inaccessible parts of the state. This initiative is under the NHM scheme of the government.
