Commemorating National Cancer Awareness Day, the Rotaract Club of Ingenious Minds, RID 3011, under its Project Nivaran, hosted a cancer screening camp in Dwarka. Over 70 individuals participated in the camp, undergoing comprehensive screenings facilitated by healthcare professionals. The camp successfully conducted over 120 screenings, specifically targeting three types of cancer — cervical, oral and breast cancer. The initiative was done in collaboration with the Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Centre.

It was a chance encounter during her duty for the NGO Sanghadip that led Payal Shil, president of RAC ­Dharmanagar, RID 3240, to meet 14-year-old Binay Das, a spirited young boy fighting cerebral palsy and locomotive disorder. She learned that Binay’s education was at stake as he couldn’t be carried from home to school and back by his mother.

In a major health campaign, all the 27 Rotaractors at the RAC Shri Aurobindo College, RID 3011, are involved in Project Tamaacha to Tobacco (slap to tobacco) which is held in phases through five-day camps on the outskirts of Delhi.
