To achieve universal Tuberculosis (TB) care for all notified TB patients, the National TB Elimination Program (NTEP) has initiated the Patient Provider Support Agency (PPSA) initiative.

PPSA is a model under which a third-party agency/non-governmental organization is selected by a state/ city/district NTEP unit to engage private-sector doctors treating patients of TB and provide end-to-end services, such as diagnosis, notification, patient adherence and support, and treatment linkages. 

Nikshay Poshan Yojana (NPY) is one of the four initiative-based support schemes which provides financial support to TB patients for their nutrition. A financial incentive of Rs. 500 per month will be provided to patients on anti-TB treatment till the completion of treatment.

There may be other Central or State government schemes and programmes that beneficiaries related to the TB program are eligible for, over and above the 4 schemes provided by the central government through NTEP. Some examples are:

• Beneficiary: These are the individuals who get benefits from payments under a particular scheme. E.g., all notified TB patients are beneficiaries under the Ni-kshay Poshan Yojana. An individual may be eligible for multiple payments under one scheme or may be eligible for multiple schemes. Only individuals with bank accounts will receive these benefits. Also, beneficiaries and their bank accounts need to be approved by a district-level authority to receive any of the benefits from Ni-kshay.
