CISF Cancer Prevention Camp

New Delhi, January 13, 2025: A cancer prevention camp was conducted by Kindness Practice Foundation for the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) at the CISF Unit GSB in Mahipalpur, Delhi. The initiative was a part of an all India cancer prevention and awareness drive funded by the CSR initiative of Tourism Finance Corporation of India Ltd.(TFCIL) implemented by USEA. 

More than 100 CISF personnel were tested using early diagnostics i.e. blood tests for common cancer markers along with breast cancer screening for female CISF personnel as part of early cancer detection and prevention awareness. The CISF personnel also attended an insightful session on cancer awareness and prevention by cancer expert Dr Rachna Chhachhi. Dr Rachna explained common triggers for cancer and the steps that can be taken for the early detection and prevention of cancer in one’s life. Her book, You Can Beat Cancer, explains this in detail and is available on Amazon.

“We at USEA were grateful to partner with Kindness Practice Foundation for the all India camps – with their expertise in cancer prevention, the right message is reaching the underprivileged and those who need these interventions,” said Prabodh Bhambal, Executive Director, USEA Trust.

The camp focused on nutrition and yogic breathing to reduce inflammation levels, as high inflammation is a risk factor for cancer. High inflammation is a risk factor for obesity, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and cancer. The camp demonstrated breathing techniques and pranayamas to reduce inflammation and stress. 

The CISF camp in Delhi is the second city in the cancer prevention drive by Kindness Practice Foundation. Delhi is one of the top five states to have the high number of cancer cases in India, thus being one of our important locations to do this camp. Earlier, this camp has been conducted in Bavdhan village on the outskirts of Pune, and camps are scheduled for Haryana on January 14, Kerala on January 28 which are top cancer states as per statistics, as well as in Mumbai with Mumbai Police on February 4, 2025, which is World Cancer Day. This is part of the ongoing all India Cancer Prevention Camps by the Foundation as part of the CSR initiative by the TFCIL.
