## MINISTER OF STATE FOR MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE (DR. BHARATI PRAVIN PAWAR)

(a) &(b)

The  programmes  to  eliminate  various  diseases  namely  Malaria,  Lymphatic  Filariasis, Kala-Azar,  Tuberculosis,  Leprosy  have  been  implemented  by  Government  of  India.  The programmes to eliminate first 3 diseases are implemented by NCVBDC. The aims, objectives and targets are as follows:

- i. Malaria is targeted for elimination by 2030
- ii. Lymphatic Filariasis is targeted for elimination by 2030
- iii. Kala Azar for elimination by 2023

For Leprosy, the government  is implementing the National Leprosy Eradication Programme (NLEP) with the goal of making India leprosy free.  NLEP is a centrally sponsored scheme under the umbrella of National Health Mission (NHM).NLEP is aimed to bring down Prevalence Rate of leprosy to less than 1/10,000 population at district level; Grade II Disability rate per million population to Zero at  district level; Grade II Disability to Zero among new cases and child leprosy cases to zero level.  It also aims at generating awareness about leprosy disease.

For Tuberculosis,  the Government is implementing National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP) with the goal of ending TB by 2025, five years ahead of the global targets of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of 2030.

- (c ) Detailed  State/UT-wise  budget  for  vector  borne  diseases,  Leprosy  and  TB  is  given  at Annexures I to III respectively.
- (d) Government of India provides technical and financial support to help the States/UTs  for effectively carrying out their Programme Implementation Plans (PIPs).States also make plans to engage local administration, District Collectors, Block Level Officials, Panchayat Raj Institute members, etc. in specific projects under these programmes.   In many States, a few NGOs are working in this field and supplement the efforts of the Government. For example, the activities carried  out  by  NGOs  in  Leprosy  programme  include  reaction  management,  Ulcer  care management,  reconstructive  surgeries,  supplying  of  Microcellular  Rubber  foot  wears  (MCR), aids & appliances/ DPMR services to Leprosy affected persons, awareness generation, etc.
