A street Play was organised by the students' council of ABSMIDS on 27th May, 2003. The play was enacted by a group of students in the local language. It was performed as part of the oral cancer week at central market and Thokottu Junction. The play portrayed the causes and course of cancer and how lethal a disease it is. It was, indeed, an eye-opener and the play was an ideal platform to create public awareness about cancer.
Awareness, treatment and aftercare for free by institution developed treatment modalities. |
