CHAIRMAN’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR <strong>2011</strong>-20<strong>12</strong>Dear Members,It is with great sorrow that I report the sudden demise of Dr. Arun P. Kurkure. Dr. Arun Kurkure had madeit his life’s mission to work for ICS and had devoted 24 years to the <strong>Society</strong>, serving as Hon. Secretary & ManagingTrustee for the last 9 years. We, at ICS, will always remember his contribution and will miss his presence.Consequent to the demise of Dr. Kurkure and in view of the desire of some Trustees to step down, the ManagingCommittee was reconstituted as outlined in this <strong>Report</strong>. On behalf of the <strong>Indian</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Society</strong>, I take this opportunityto thank Mr. Nihal Kaviratne for his guidance and Mr. Hari Mundra for his operational leadership and dedicatedservice to the <strong>Society</strong>. Mr. Mundra’s committed involvement in the day to day affairs of the <strong>Society</strong> for thelast 5 years and his adroit handling of all the problems faced by ICS contributed significantly to its turn aroundand has steered the <strong>Society</strong> forward into a brighter future.I now present to you the <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> of the <strong>Indian</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Society</strong> for the year <strong>2011</strong>-<strong>12</strong>.The <strong>Indian</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Society</strong> (ICS) has successfully forged ahead as a dynamic organization due to initiatives takenby the National Managing Committee (NMC) in successful implementation of a Strategic Plan laid out in 2008-‘<strong>Indian</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Society</strong>: The Way Forward’. The NMC continues to work unstintingly to further revitalize, modernizeand transform ICS. The <strong>Society</strong> has made significant progress on every front as envisioned by the Founders,Dr. D. Jussawalla & Mr. Naval Tata and the <strong>Society</strong>’s stated Vision & Mission.The restructured Activity Program focuses on what ICS knows and does best and provides the clarity, focus andconsensus required for the societal work of ICS. Initiatives to broaden the work of ICS and raise its work toa higher level in keeping with the scope outlined in the objects of the <strong>Society</strong>, are being pursued. In our commitmentto enhance the <strong>Society</strong>’s core activities, we were able to realise one more Milestone, the ICS <strong>Cancer</strong> Cure Fund.ICS <strong>Cancer</strong> Cure Fund: In our commitment to enhance the <strong>Society</strong>’s core activities, <strong>2011</strong>-<strong>12</strong> has seen the realizationof one of the <strong>Indian</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Society</strong>’s most ambitious initiatives, the ICS <strong>Cancer</strong> Cure Fund, adding to ICS’s illustriouslist of Milestones. This joint Initiative of the <strong>Indian</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Society</strong> with HDFC Asset Management Company,the first of its kind in the country, now helps underprivileged cancer patients all over India to initiate andcomplete treatment vital for their survival. For the first time in India, investors were given the option to donate50% or 100% of their dividend income from a close ended, fixed maturity plan. Donations received from investorsin the “HDFC Debt Fund for <strong>Cancer</strong> Cure” constitutes the ICS <strong>Cancer</strong> Cure Fund which is now used to fundthe cancer treatment of poor patients and complete treatment of this disease.The ICS <strong>Cancer</strong> Cure Fund is supervised by a Governing Advisory Council made up of eminent citizens fromthe corporate and medical worlds which oversees the disbursement of the donations received by ICS. A DueDiligence Team including doctors, social workers, accountants and volunteers scrutinizes all the applications forfunding medical treatment from all over India, adhering to strict guidelines and is accountable to the GoverningAdvisory Council.In the FY <strong>2011</strong>-<strong>12</strong>, a total of Rs. 407.39 lakhs was received as donation from HDFC AMC on behalf of the investors.This donation to <strong>Indian</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Society</strong> (ICS) has made an invaluable difference in the lives of many poor cancerpatients. We are pleased to inform you that since October <strong>2011</strong>, the donations received from the investorsof the HDFC Debt Fund for <strong>Cancer</strong> Cure, have been used to grant financial aid for medical treatment to95 patients aggregating to Rs. 276.95 lakhs. Of these, 80% of the patients are less than 30 years of age.Rehabilitation Centre: <strong>2011</strong> marked 50 years of ICS Rehabilitation Services. During <strong>2011</strong>-<strong>12</strong>, the ICS RehabilitationCentre (RC) at Parel continued with its concerted efforts to help the underprivileged suffering from cancer throughits many welfare activities and provided financial aid towards treatment costs, free food and nutritive supplements,vocational training, counseling, guidance and jobs to nearly 10000 cancer patients and their family members.The vocational training & guidance given to patients and survivors at the RC enables them to eke out a simple,yet dignified living. The Free Meal Program & Nutritive Supplements Program continued through the year asusual thanks to the generosity of our donors and well wishers.The Workshops of the ICS Rehabilitation Centre at Parel have been providing vocational training and gainfulemployment to thousands of poor people suffering from cancer and to survivors of the disease for nearly threedecades. In order to improve the RC Workshops, the NMC had decided to renovate and modernize the workshops,1


integrating some of them, installing modern equipment and creating better layout for more efficient functioning.This would not only improve the quality of vocational training but would also create avenues to introduce newcrafts and better products made by the patients. With great support of our donors and well wishers, renovationof the newly integrated “Rehabilitation Therapy & Prosthetic Aids” Dept. offering Occupational Therapy,Rehabilitation, different types of Prostheses and Aids & Appliances was completed in September <strong>2011</strong>.The uniqueness of these prostheses/aids/appliances is that they are all made by cancer patients/survivors. InNovember <strong>2011</strong>, with the support of the Sujaya Foundation, a new Computer Training Centre for poor cancerpatients, both children and adults, was set up at the Rehabilitation Centre at Parel thereby offering themlearning with fun and enjoyment.<strong>Indian</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Society</strong> Awareness & Detection Programs: ICS has been at the forefront in the fight against cancerarmed with the belief and motto that ‘<strong>Cancer</strong> When Detected Early, Is Curable’. <strong>Cancer</strong> is now a leading causeof death worldwide. More than 30% of cancers can be prevented by modifying or avoiding key risk factors.ICS strives hard to create awareness of the disease and encourages the public to attend its Awareness Programs& Detection Camps. Since 1982, ICS has been regularly holding Mobile <strong>Cancer</strong> Detection Camps in Maharashtra,Karnataka, Gujarat, Goa and Chhattisgarh, providing free or highly subsidized cancer detection screening facilities.In <strong>2011</strong>-<strong>12</strong>, the ICS Mobile <strong>Cancer</strong> Detection Camps have conducted 75 Mobile <strong>Cancer</strong> Detection camps fora total of 75 days. 6644 clients consisting 3819 women and 2825 men were screened for cancer at these camps.163 clients were referred to Tata Memorial Hospital for further investigation.

VII. BRANCHESDELHI BRANCH:The year under review has been a challenging one. ICS Delhi undertook a series of Projects, reaching the hithertounreached – the elderly and those with a hearing handicap. We also were able to hold a special screeningfor Breast <strong>Cancer</strong> patients thanks to funding for the purpose.Project HelpAge Sahyog began in May 2010, but its full potential was realized in the course of <strong>2011</strong>-<strong>12</strong>. It wasa humbling exercise to experience the gratitude of Senior Citizens for the help offered.Another exciting Project was the making of a <strong>Cancer</strong> Awareness film for the Deaf using <strong>Indian</strong> Sign Languagefor the Deaf. Interaction between ICS and teachers/interpreters for the Deaf was mutually educative.20<strong>12</strong> dawned bringing multiple changes for ICS Delhi. Our revered Founder Vice Chairman, Mr. K. K. Mehtadecided to retire, citing advancing years & infirmity as reasons. Mr. O. P. Nayar, long time Secretary has takenover as Vice Chairman, & Mrs. Jyotsna Govil has taken on the responsibility of Hon. Secretary.At the same Managing Council meeting, CanKids request to separate from ICS Delhi was accepted. The MCaccepted that CanKids had grown beyond the Delhi/NCR and the tutelage of ICS Delhi. CanKids request to theNational MC to be granted Branch status was turned down. CanKids will now become a separate NGO. Theprocess of de-merger is now underway.ICS Delhi Volunteers undertook a Consultative Review of Work of the Branch. The brain-storming was a catharticexercise, & several changes are under way. Volunteers are the Soul of ICS Delhi, and will continue to drivethe organization & delivery of programs■CANCER JAGRITI:● World No-Tobacco Day is celebrated each year, inviting young people to interpret WHO themes in 5-min skits & posters. About a dozen schools participate. Their original & thoughtful presentations weremuch appreciated by the Judges drawn from WHO, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, and Tobaccoactivists.● A new venture was collaboration with AIESEC, the student body, who brought in 2 sets of InternationalInterns in July- September. Keeping young people happily occupied was a new learning for our Volunteers,& helped everyone evaluate on our set ways! A third group came in December-January.● Creation of a Film on <strong>Cancer</strong> Awareness for the Deaf was another new undertaking, introducing us tothe needs of a disadvantaged section of society.● In the month of November a new venture started by addressing sex workers from the red light areaof DelhiEvents:●●●●In April, a 2-day “Drive for <strong>Cancer</strong>” Golf Tournament was organized at Delhi Golf Club. <strong>12</strong> teams participatedand ICS got a lot of visibility.<strong>2011</strong> saw two Walks for <strong>Cancer</strong>. Our regular date in February was taken by a sister NGO, so we chosethe first Sunday in November to celebrate <strong>Indian</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> Awareness Day. <strong>Cancer</strong> Day was celebratedin November with a <strong>Cancer</strong> Walk organized by the ICS TeamIn December, we were happy to welcome Mr. Kaviratne, Chairman, ICS on his first visit to our operationsin Delhi.On 4th February, ICS Jagriti organized the <strong>Annual</strong> Fund Raiser at the Bahai Auditorium. Sufi Gospel singerSonam Kalra held the packed to capacity auditorium spellbound. The appropriate setting of the BahaiTemple added to the ambience.27


●●On 25-26 th . February, ICS participated in the Delhi Book Fair. Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Shekhar Sircar,ICS made an appearance in every Stall.Two young lawyers, Mr. Navin Syiem & his colleague undertook a Sponsored Trek in the Zanskar Valleyalong the frozen river. It is called the Chador Trek. They raised over Rs 1 lakh for ICS.Radio/TV Talks: Every 1 st and 3 rd Friday volunteer speakers give a talk on AIR FM Gold 106.4 MHz. Thesetalks have been very popular and helpful in getting people to the centre for screening. The number of callson the Helpline after every talk is a guide to the effect of the talks and their widespread reach. The Prostate<strong>Cancer</strong> month of April, Cervical <strong>Cancer</strong> (Pap Test Delhi) month of November and various sponsored screeningprojects get wide spectrum publicity due to these radio talks.Manav Rachna University in Faridabad runs a local radio network. They recorded 8 talks of 1 hr durationeach and beam the talks at intervals of time. The volunteer speakers did a commendable job in recordingthese talks. The CDs of these talks are in the office for future use.Volunteers have been featured on Al Jazeera TV, Lok Sabha TV and other channels, taking work of ICS Delhito the public eye.Training: Training Workshops are organized both in-house, and by sending Volunteers to the Workshops organizedby city Hospitals. The latter also gives visibility to ICS. Workshops were organized in April, June and July.On 15 th November a training workshop was conducted for new volunteers. The Gurgaon group of volunteerspeakers were trained in this workshop.minent doctors from AIIMS conducted an awareness talk on 16 th November. This too was attended by ICSspeakers.From August –October a series of workshops were organized at the CDC when Dr Sajeela Maini (renownedcessation expert) trained 5 volunteers in Tobacco Cessation. The cessation clinic is being run once a weekat the CDC since then.■Prashanti: (President – Mrs. Renuka Prasad).ICS Prashanti is now 7 years old, having started life as a Healing Centre in 2005. The Breast Rehab Centreopened simultaneously, offering a service of great importance to Survivors of Breast <strong>Cancer</strong>. In November2009, a Diagnostic unit with a Mammography machine & a Bone Densitometry machine was opened underthe aegis of the Lala Diwan Chand Trust. Prashanti moved to 11/70 Vikram Vihar, to a building owned byLDCT. The new Unit took up a lot of time and effort in getting established as a reliable centre, offeringmuch needed Diagnostic services at a highly subsidized rate. Word-of-mouth advertising, pamphlets & flyers,and then the services of a PRO employed by LDCT slowly spread the word, and this is the first year whenPrashanti Diagnostics has shown more paying patients/clients than the sponsored ones.ICS Prashanti, the Healing & Rehab Centre continues its low-key activity, steadily working to provide reliefand succor to cancer patients; often the one bright spot in the week for patients & families living in difficultcircumstances outside city Hospitals. Some activities are highlighted below.The Diagnostic Centre, supported by the Lala Diwan Chand Trust is only just beginning to show signs ofearning its keep. Establishing credibility is a long, slow process. Much effort has been expended with thePRO and Ambulance bringing clients. The Centre is still very dependant on LDCT & ICS for financial support.■ICS <strong>Cancer</strong> Sahyog: (President – Mrs. Sita Paintal)ICS <strong>Cancer</strong> Sahyog is the oldest of ICS Delhi Units. It offers Emotional Support together with a measureof financial support to patients in need. Its unique membership is confined to <strong>Cancer</strong> Survivors & immediateCaregivers. Other Volunteers are very welcome as associate Members, undertaking the necessary tasks involvedin administering these services.28


Two new Hospitals - B.L.Kapur Memorial and Fortis International Oncology Hospital, NOIDA have been addedto the list. Our team of hospital workers has been welcomed and they are doing very commendable work.Poor patients requiring financial assistance come mainly from IRCH, AIIMS, Batra and RGCI. We have alsoentertained one each from Medicity and Fortis (NOIDA)This year we have not been able to adopt patients as freely as we had done last year. To date only 63patients have been adopted as against 79 in the previous year.●●●●●●Breast Prosthesis & Bras: <strong>Cancer</strong> Sahyog had a small project going, to provide 2 bras & a soft prosthesisto all breast cancer patients as they left Hospital, to give them an intact body image & measure ofconfidence. Earlier 28 women were given these items, partially thanks to the Prem Tannon Bequest,using interest generated by the Bequest fund. Now thanks to a donation from a generous donor, wehave supplied 99 women with bras & prosthesis.<strong>Cancer</strong> Sahyog Seminar: <strong>Cancer</strong> Sahyog seminar on Familial <strong>Cancer</strong>s was held on 16th October at PHDChamber of Commerce. Dr. Usha Menon. a leading Gynecologist & Research scholar from the UniversityCollege of London delivered the Keynote address. She explained hall marks of hereditary cancers in detail,and simple language. Dr. A. K.

We had some interesting events like theChaddar Trek & sponsored Walk, and a zingy Fashion Show, adding interest to our efforts at fund collection.MEMBERSHIP & INSURANCE: Since Membership continues to be tied to Insurance, which is a National concern,there is little or no effort put in on garnering new members. It is strongly recommended that Membershipshould be a Branch function & collection & policy be decided by each Branch. This way, strong advocacy groupscan be built in each area, giving impetus to attention to cancer issues.30


We can not conclude without a record thanks to Mr. OP Nayar, Vice Chairman, for his continued guidance andoversight of our activity, & for the calm & clear mind that our Treasurer, Mr. M. S. Mathur brings to bear ondeliberations.

Volunteers are the heart of our Branch, &it is their willing service that is indispensable. Equally important is the dedication of our Staff, both at the Office& <strong>Cancer</strong> Detection Centre, who support the work with calm & efficiency.KOLKATA BRANCH:The Kolkata Branch of the <strong>Indian</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Society</strong> is the pioneer organization in East India which has achievedgreat success in its fight against <strong>Cancer</strong> by organising large number of Awareness Programs and Detection Campsnot only in the metropolis but in suburban areas and remote villages. The experience of working in the fieldof <strong>Cancer</strong> for last three decades has made it clear that two factors are largely responsible for the spread of<strong>Cancer</strong> at a very high rate in the present times. Firstly lack of awareness among common people that certainprecautions do prevent cancer and it is cured if it is diagnosed early. Secondly there is dearth of knowledgeamong medical practitioners with regard to the latest developments in the treatment of cancer. <strong>Indian</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong><strong>Society</strong>, Kolkata, true to its tradition, has been carrying on a two pronged attack against such challenges.The Awareness Programs and Detection Camps organized by <strong>Indian</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Society</strong>, Kolkata disseminate vitalinformation about the disease among cross sections of society regularly. At the same time programs of interactivesessions and refresher courses for doctors promote interaction among them, giving them a chance to sharetheir views and update their knowledge. The remarkable thing about <strong>Indian</strong> <strong>Cancer</strong> <strong>Society</strong>, Kolkata, is that ithas etched its image as an organization rendering effective service to combat cancer. Its activities as a resultare not confined to Eastern India alone but it has reached distant areas like Madhya Pradesh too. The <strong>Society</strong>has been rendering commendable service with growing success.<strong>Cancer</strong> Awareness & <strong>Cancer</strong> Detection Camps held during <strong>2011</strong>-<strong>12</strong> are given below.No. of PersonNo. of person CheckedSr Venue Date Program Attended Male / Female Sponsor1 Laxmi Narayan Maternity Home 4, 03.04.11 <strong>Cancer</strong> Awareness 250 Female-80 Konark CharitableJustice Chandra Madhav Road,TrustKolkata - 20<strong>Cancer</strong> Detection 802 A.I.W.C.BH-<strong>12</strong>6, 09.04.11 <strong>Cancer</strong> Awareness 150 Male-17 Manoj TodiSalt Lake City Kokata - 91Foundation<strong>Cancer</strong> Detection 87 Female-703 Ichapur Road Pallubasi, 10.04.11 <strong>Cancer</strong> Awareness 200 Male-57 Manovikas Trust14/1 Ichapur, Kadamtala Howrah<strong>Cancer</strong> Detection 85 Female-284 Shree Bhumi Bikash Manch 24.04.11 <strong>Cancer</strong> Awareness 300 Male-49 Shri Ram KishanShree Bhumi, Kolkata -48Agarwal<strong>Cancer</strong> Detection 75 Female-265 Saptarshi,Surya Sen Street, 28.05.11 <strong>Cancer</strong> Awareness 150 Male-39 Shri Ram KishanKolkata-9Agarwal<strong>Cancer</strong> Detection 55 Female-166 Sankha Subhra Welfare <strong>Society</strong>, 29.05.11 <strong>Cancer</strong> Awareness 250 Male-43 H.P.Budhia CharitableSakherbazar,Hindmotor, HooghlyTrust<strong>Cancer</strong> Detection 78 Female-3531
