Project Pink Alert Launches in Kolkata to Promote Cancer Awareness
Project Pink Alert, a program to teach young people about cancer, started a new part of the program at Presidency University in Kolkata.
The project wants to teach students about cancer prevention, how to find cancer early, and the things that make cancer more likely.
Doctors gave talks and answered questions from students about cancer.
The goal is to help young people know more about cancer, so they can take care of themselves and help others.
The project hopes to reach one million students in the next two years.
It is a response to the fact that many cancers in India are found too late to be treated easily.
This is why the project focuses on informing young people.
Project Pink Alert, a cancer awareness initiative, launched at Presidency University in Kolkata.
The project aims to educate youth on cancer prevention, early detection, and risk factors.
Over 100 students from Presidency University attended the launch workshop.
The initiative has an ambitious goal of reaching 1 million students in the next two years.
The project's aim is to promote early detection to reduce cancer-related deaths.
