A project to provide financial aid to underprivileged children suffering from cancer being treated at Dr B Barooah Cancer Institute, Guwahati. Described as “a game changer” in the North East by BBCI, project Aparajeya is expected to benefit all the paediatric cancer patients ( approx. 250) treated in BBCI in a year. Salient features :

• Children are the future of the country
• Child cancer is treatable and curable
• Cure rate is lower in our state as treatment is abandoned midway because of dearth of money
• Amount required is less than compared to adult patients

As intimated by BBCI, this scheme has been able to bring a smile to many underprivileged families in the state of Assam availing the benefit of the project.
