TAKE THE PLEDGE

Corporate organizations may take the Corporate TB Pledge, pledging to commit to the social cause of fighting against TB. They can fulfill their commitment by committing to one or more of the following:

Recognize the Cause: The organization recognizes TB as a relevant social cause and raises awareness about TB within the organization and their related communities/ partners.

Implement TB Free Workplaces: Integrate activities that prevent TB disease and support people suffering from TB among the workforce as an organization wide policy.

Contribute/ invest in the fight against TB: Depending on the interest of the organization, work along with the National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP), to contribute technical expertise, donate CSR resources, adopt/ support TB patients or implement funded projects, and accelerate progress towards TB Elimination.

Champion the cause: Mobilize other corporates to take the Pledge and do their bit in the nation’s fight against TB.

The process of taking the pledge and realizing it are depicted in the adjoining infographic.
