“In every child, I see my God.”
For nearly four decades, Dr. N.K. Mittal has fought to make childhood tuberculosis visible, treatable, and preventable — one child, one camp, one vaccine at a time.

From a Village Classroom to a National Mission
Dr. Mittal began in the small village of Purkhas, Haryana — a place known for sport, not academics — determined to become its first MBBS doctor. A residency at Delhi’s Rajan Babu TB Hospital, and the children he met in its slums, gave him a lifelong cause: childhood tuberculosis.
In 1992, alongside Dr. Deepmala Mittal, he co-founded Mittal Nursing Home, establishing the region's first Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and a dedicated immunization center from the outset. In 1999, the hospital introduced Haryana's first neonatal ventilation facility. This commitment to pioneering child healthcare later evolved into a district-level tuberculosis elimination model recognized at both the state and national levels, alongside sustained contributions to pediatric tuberculosis, immunization, and neonatal care across Haryana.
