Nikshay Poshan Yojana is a government initiative launched by the Central government to support individuals battling Tuberculosis (TB). Through this nutritional aid program, eligible patients receive a monthly stipend of Rs. 500 throughout their medical treatment. Patients can complete their Nikshay Poshan Yojana 2026 enrollment at the medical facilities where they are receiving care.
Every registered TB patient qualifies for benefits under the Nikshay Poshan Yojana. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare manages this initiative under the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme. Patients can review details regarding payment cycles, timelines, program benefits, and eligibility criteria.
This initiative is a centrally sponsored program under the National Health Mission (NHM). Standard NHM financial guidelines regarding cost-sharing between state and central authorities apply to this scheme.
Nikshay Poshan Yojana Enrollment 2026
Every TB patient receiving treatment in public or private facilities must be officially recorded on the Nikshay portal at nikshay.in by authorized personnel.
Patients are required to visit their treatment centers and provide the necessary personal details for database entry. Once information is linked to the portal, the healthcare facility manages the data updates and notifies patients of their enrollment status.
This process is facilitated via SMS or direct record access, provided the healthcare facility is active on the Nikshay portal. Payments follow the structured schedule outlined below.
