Week #31 | 3rd August to 9th August 2026
Kalpavriksham Trust continued its commitment to creating cancer-aware and healthier communities by conducting 10 cancer awareness and screening events from 3rd to 9th August 2026 across Chengalpattu District and Madurantakam.
Through these initiatives, a total of 1,914 beneficiaries were reached through a combination of cancer awareness talks and screening camps conducted under Project Shakti and Project Sunkalp.
Under Project Shakti, cancer awareness sessions were conducted in communities, workplaces, and educational settings to educate people about cancer prevention, early detection, and the importance of timely medical consultation.
The awareness programmes included:
The session at Pearl Global Industries Limited was particularly impactful, reaching more than 1,150 employees with important information on cancer prevention, early warning signs, and the role of regular screening.
As part of Project Sunkalp, cancer screening camps were conducted at various locations in Madurantakam to encourage early detection and timely intervention.
During the week, screening services included iBreast Examination, oral cancer examination, and Pap smear screening, based on eligibility and availability at each camp.
The screening camps included:
These camps provided community members with access to essential screening services and helped reinforce the message that early detection can play a vital role in improving cancer outcomes.
The week's activities demonstrate the importance of combining cancer awareness with accessible screening services. While awareness programmes help people understand cancer risks, warning signs, prevention, and screening, community-based screening camps provide an opportunity for individuals to take proactive steps toward their health.
Kalpavriksham Trust continues to work towards making cancer awareness and early detection more accessible, particularly among communities where regular preventive healthcare may be limited.
With 10 events and 1,914 beneficiaries reached, Week #31 represents another important step in Kalpavriksham Trust's ongoing efforts to build healthier and more informed communities.
Through initiatives such as Project Shakti and Project Sunkalp, Kalpavriksham Trust remains committed to promoting cancer prevention, encouraging regular screening, and empowering individuals with knowledge that can support early detection and timely care.
Awareness. Screening. Early Detection. Together, We Can Make a Difference.
