NLR India shares the inspiring story of Gyanti Devi from Varanasi. She was living with fear as red patches spread on her body, and she began losing sensation.

[NLR India @NLRIF_]

At NLR India, we believe health is not only about curing disease, but also about restoring dignity, love, and belonging. Many people affected by leprosy still face stigma and loneliness. Through our work, we support treatment, care, and inclusion so no one feels forgotten.

On World Leprosy Day, we reaffirm our commitment to ending leprosy and the stigma surrounding it. At NLR India, we believe compassion, awareness, and early treatment can transform lives. Sharing this message, Dr Ashok Agarwal, CEO, NLR India, reminds us why dignity, inclusion.

[NLR India @NLRIF_]

Leprosy is curable. Yet, for thousands of families the real suffering begins after the cure through rejection, discrimination, and loss of dignity, children drop out of school, parents lose livelihoods, women are excluded and dreams are quietly taken away.

[NLR India @NLRIF_]

NLR India, this day reminds us of our responsibility to uphold dignity and justice for everyone, especially those affected by leprosy and disability. True freedom is not only about independence as a nation, but also about freedom from stigma, discrimination, and fear.

Many people affected by leprosy are not just battling a disease; they are battling abandonment. Rejected by families, forgotten by society, they are forced to live alone, hungry, and without care. Some cannot walk, some cannot cook and some have no one to call their own.

[NLR India @NLRIF_]
