This event was addressed by Rabindra Narayan Mishra from ICanCaRe wherein the gathering, of more than 200 community members including doctors, dentists, healthcare professionals, professionals from all walks of life and house makers, were sensitized about different preventable cancers and tobacco menace in the society. The attendees shared their experience on societal attitude towards cancer as a disease and tobacco as a habit and agreed that we do not have a clear understanding of both and hence take wrong steps in addressing the same.
Rabindra Mishra made the group aware about the possibility of preventing cancer when one can understand the signs and symptoms of cancer and see a doctor to detect the disease at an early stage. Special slogan "Chhota Daana" coined by Dr Pawan Gupta, was emphasized where in all were advised to self-screen their body (that includes oral cavity, breast and cervix) any changes in their body, may it be a small nodule, lump, abnormal discharges, etc, and see a specialized doctor for corrective measure; this step can save millions of people from cancer.
A special session on SAVE the Youth - Win over Tobacco was also conducted and the attendees were sensitized about the ill effects of tobacco. Tobacco causes more than 200 diseases that include CVD, COPD, Cancer, etc; every year 20 lacs Indian Youth get into the habit of tobacco use and this freely available poison kills 10 lacs of Indian population was enough reason for the attendees to react positively and pledge to stop tobacco use in their immediate family and to motivate others in the society to refrain from tobacco use and make India clean, green, healthy and lively.
Sri Minaketan Mishra, Sri Praksh Naik,  Sri  Puruna Chandra Sahoo, Sri Nagendra Natha Samal, Sri Pitabash Sahoo, Sri Ramakanta Jena,   Sri Nandan Samal, Sri  Manoj Giri. and members of OSS/ RPOP organized and managed with extraordinary enthusiasm and discipline the health camp that also included programs like Blood Donation, free Health and Dental Check up for community members.

It was a packed auditorium, both faculties and also the students MDS, Interns and Final year enthusiastically interacting and gaining knowledge on tobacco. It was just not knowing how bad is toabcco but also as a doctor understanding the addiction of tobacco and how to help their patients, friends and family members to be free of tobacco.

Almost 50% lifted their hands when asked if their friends are into tobacco habit. almost 20 % of the students said someone in their family are into tobacco habit.  This is definitely of concern. Empowering the students and the faculty with knowledge about COTPA law and how it can be implemented would help making the Institute tobacco free. Mr Rabindra Mishra  gave them the details of the COTPA LAW and also said how to implement the same, with Principal and Dean empowered to fine anyone smoking or using tobacco in the campus.

Dr Choudhury extended all help required to make the institute tobacco free. he also showed his concern with such high use of tobacco in the campus.

The tobacco cessation centre in the institute needs to be upgraded and experts needs to be skilled with proper training this was discussed and ICanCaRe team would help in digitalising the centre and training of the doctors was discussed. 6 faculty members including Principal Dr Neeraj wished to do the Certified Tobacco Cessation Course accredited by Gujarat University and conducted by ICanCaRe. Number of students also wished to be trained in tobacco Cessation. Those interested can enroll on the following link CTCS Course

Around 100 students and 20 faculties with few members from IDA Meerut attended the workshop.
