At Kalpavriksham Trust, our mission has always been to “Join hands to save lives.” With this vision, we launched Project Shakthi, a powerful initiative aimed at empowering women, youth, and communities with life-saving awareness on cancer prevention, early detection, and healthy lifestyle choices.
Why Project Shakthi?
Cancer remains one of the leading health challenges in India, but the truth is – most cancers can be prevented or treated effectively if detected early. Inspired by this belief, Project Shakthi focuses on:
Conducting awareness talks on breast, cervical, and gynecologic cancers
Promoting preventive healthcare through HPV vaccination
Offering free mammogram and pap smear screenings
Encouraging self-breast examination and early detection methods
Supporting communities with knowledge on healthy living
Through these efforts, Project Shakthi brings hope, knowledge, and preventive action directly to the people.
Milestones of Project Shakthi
Since its inception in January 2024, Project Shakthi has touched over 9,000 lives through 85 impactful programs across schools, colleges, corporate offices, residential communities, and rural areas
Some highlights include:
Mahabalipuram (Jan 2024): Basic health & cancer awareness session for 210 community members.
Javadu Hills (Feb 2024): A health awareness camp for 120 participants in a tribal region.
Dwaraka Doss Goverdhan Doss Vaishnav College (Sep 2024): 600 students empowered on breast cancer and menstrual hygiene.
Evolv Clothing Company (Oct 2024): 750 employees trained on cancer prevention and screening.
Ethiraj College for Women (Aug 2025): 500 young women engaged in preventive health awareness.
From bustling city centers to remote villages, the message of cancer awareness has spread wide and strong.
Leadership Behind the Movement
Project Shakthi is led by Dr. M. Banu Priya, Senior Consultant Radiation Oncologist, double gold medalist, and the passionate founder of Kalpavriksham Trust. Backed by medical experts, volunteers, and community partners, the initiative has become a grassroots movement for cancer prevention.
