I never thought it could be something so serious.”Mr. Ram was 17 years old and far away from home in boarding school when he lost his father to a chronic illness. He was aware that his father was unwell but was not informed by his family about the rapidly declining condition. Ram was not informed about his father’s death for almost two months because the family knew he had important examinations to take in the upcoming months. When he was eventually told about his father’s passing, he was in shock, was angry at the family for keeping him in the dark, and felt they made decisions on his behalf, leaving him feeling lonely and abandoned in his grief. His mother and elders in the family told him, “Don’t cry like this; you are the man in this house, and you have to be strong.” Six years later, he is seen changing multiple jobs and facing rejection, which leaves him struggling to cope and confused about how he should be feeling as a man.Cancer burden continues to grow day by day worldwide, with an increased number of newly diagnosed cases and deaths each year. “Don’t ever question the value of volunteers.

Many people tend to assume that their health is fine and that their symptoms are minor issues, neglecting to take them seriously. India, being a developing country and a hub for IT, is amazing. However, not many people are aware of what cervical cancer is and how to prevent it.

According to current population data in India, there are 511.4 million women aged 15 years and above who are at risk of cervical cancer.
