Journey So Far
From pilot programs to national competitions — here is everything Nurture Awareness has built since its inception.
Awareness Drives
Lung Cancer Awareness Program
A community awareness program using real-life scenarios, posters, and lung specimens. Tobacco cessation and reduction in smoking were actively encouraged. The program reached community members and sparked meaningful conversations about cancer prevention.
Breast Cancer Awareness Program
A comprehensive program featuring screening guidance, a myth-busting session on common breast cancer misconceptions, and a moving survivor talk. Medical education combined with lived experience to create lasting community impact.
Messages That Matter
A letter-writing initiative where participants crafted compassionate, creative messages read aloud to cancer patients struggling with their diagnosis — open to everyone, medico or not.
Skin Cancer Awareness Session
An in-person awareness session conducted among patients attending the ARV OPD, focused on early signs of skin cancer, risk factors, and practical preventive measures — including sun protection, sunscreen use, and recognising unusual skin changes or non-healing ulcers.
Quizzes & Knowledge Challenges
CerviQuest
A general knowledge quiz on cervical cancer designed to test awareness, bust myths, and spark meaningful conversations about one of India's most preventable cancers.
Conversations Before Conclusions
A fast-paced ethical reasoning challenge where participants navigate real-world clinical scenarios, testing communication skills and judgment before expert judges.
COLONOVA
A medical students' quiz on colorectal cancer with a cause — every registration contributed toward Harsha, a 10-year-old battling AML, while participants competed across prelims and a live finale.
All-India Competitions
Cancer Consensus
A national online debate bringing students and healthcare professionals together to argue evidence-based perspectives on cancer screening, prevention, and care across two structured rounds.
Digital Outreach
Launching Into the World
Our first posts introduced Nurture Awareness to the world: the vision meet, the official launch reel, the founding team, our 4-pillar strategy, member expectations, and a brochure reveal — all building toward a movement, not just a page.
Cervical Cancer Month
We broke down cervical cancer through reels and infographics, tackled HPV vaccine hesitancy, ran CerviQuest, and hosted Conversations Before Conclusions — culminating in a top-5 reveal and situation challenge highlights.
The Human Side of Cancer
From World Cancer Day to survivorship reels, long-term implications, follow-up care, and palliative care — February put patients at the center, closing with the Messages That Matter reading at ICCD where letters were read aloud to real patients.
Colorectal Cancer Month
March opened with a colorectal cancer awareness reveal, followed by explainer reels, prevention guides, a Holi-special cancer ribbons reel tying color to cause, and a hype campaign building toward the Cancer Consensus debate.
