PINK – A RAY OF HOPE
Globally every year the month of October, is observed as “International Breast Cancer
Awareness Month.” On 4th November 2012 evening, thousands of torches with pink
lights went up around the scenic Ulsoor Lake, Bangalore.
A long human chain was formed around the lake with battery illuminated pink light,
signifying Ray of Hope in the fight against breast cancer. Healthcare Global (HCG)
Enterprises Ltd, the specialist in Cancer Care took the initiative to form the largest
human chain.
Hundreds of students, professors, working professionals from different
institutes participated in the event. Ms. Vandana, a member of Pink Hope
support group said, “Only way to defeat Breast Cancer is through spreading
awareness about it”.
With the initiative taken by Prof. Debolina Gupta, on the 4 th evening group
of approximately 270 students' from MSRIM/MSRMI joined hands
together in making this event a grand success.
This event would be recognized by Limca Book of Records. This
participation has made the institute proud.
This endeavor was supported by the M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Oncology
for the students' commutation and we are glad that our students' were able to
reach out to a large number of people and create awareness. The day ended
with scores of pink flying lanterns which lit the sky over the lake.
