CT University provided free buses for patients to bring them to the camp. It is to be noted that the Malwa region topped the cancer list, with 14,682 of the 33,318 deaths in 2015. The unusually high incidence, especially in the cotton growing districts of south-western Punjab, has been linked to the use of pesticides by cotton farmers, among other factors. Malwa consumes 75% of the pesticides used in Punjab, shows the State Council for Science and Technology’s State of Environment Report. Under its CSR initiative, CT University and World Cancer Care organized this camp to help the poor and underprivileged people of this region.
