Project Axshya

Focusing on the vulnerable and marginalised

Project Axshya (meaning 'free of TB') accelerated access to quality TB services available through the NTEP for the vulnerable and marginalised (or ‘at risk’) populations. REACH implemented the project in Tamil Nadu between 2010 and 2021, as a sub-recipient of the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease. The fourth phase of Project Axshya was implemented in five districts of Tamil Nadu − Cuddalore, Krishnagiri, Madurai, Thanjavur and Trichy till March 2021.
