Coping with cancer can be traumatic but one needs to realize that it is not the end of the world. Capturing this emotion, the students of JICM marked the occasion by screening of a movie “ Bucket List”. The film explores the story of two men Carter Chambers and Edward Cole who meet and embark on a journey together to fulfill their bucket list after having been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.
Following the movie, Vice Chancellor Dr. Anoop Swarup addressed the gathered
students on the causes and effects of cancer. “There are many things you can do
to prevent cancer from happening to you like exercise regularly fight obesity,
reduce alcohol intake and lead a healthy lifestyle”, said Dr. Swarup. He also
advised students to take a pledge to quit smoking and tobacco chewing which is the most common cause of lung and mouth cancer in India.Quoting Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi he urged the students to engage in social service and help those in need for the betterment of the society. “The Theme of World Cancer Day this year is dispelling the myths and misconceptions about the disease and together we can and we must raise cancer awareness for a brighter tomorrow”, added Dr. Swarup.
Dressed in different shades of purple with purple badges the students of JICM made this day a success.
