195
The question asks the tuberculosis (TB) incidence rate in India for 2023, as stated by the Union Health Minister in December 2024.
TB incidence is expressed as the number of newly diagnosed TB cases per 1,00,000 (one lakh) population in a given year, and it is a core indicator tracked under the World Health Organization's global TB reports.
In December 2024, the Union Health Minister stated that India's TB incidence had declined to 195 per 1,00,000 population in 2023, down sharply from about 237 per 1,00,000 in 2015 - a fall of roughly 17.7%.
This improvement is credited to the National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP), with measures such as Ni-kshay Poshan Yojana nutritional support, wider molecular testing and active case-finding driving the target of eliminating TB.
The other figures (222, 312, 316) do not match the officially cited 2023 value and would misstate the trend.
Hence the TB incidence rate in India in 2023 was 195 per 100000 population.
