India suffers from a raising incidence of cancer and 70% of the affected report at the treatment Centre only when the disease is at its 3rd and 4 th stage, wherein the treatment and saving of lives become very challenging. This can be effectively controlled by creating awareness, early detection, and providing treatment so that precious lives could be saved. India is possibly looking at over 17 lakh new cases of cancer and over 8 lakh deaths related to the disease by the year 2025. Tamil Nadu state has the 5 th highest incidence of cancer deaths in India. Our focus is Tirunelveli, Tenkasi and Tuticorin. The healthcare infrastructure in this region is inadequate to support the population. There is only 1 hospital bed per 1000 people, 1 doctor and 2 nurses for 10000 people.
