World Cancer Day: A leading international awareness day, create a future without cancer, the time to act is now
World Cancer Day every 4 February is the global uniting initiative led by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). By raising worldwide awareness, improving education and catalysing personal, collective and government action,
we're working together to reimagine a world where millions of
preventable cancer deaths are saved and access to life-saving cancer
treatment and care is equal for all - no matter who you are or where you
live.
Created in 2000, World Cancer Day has grown into a positive movement for everyone, everywhere to unite under one voice to face one of our greatest challenges in history.
Each
year, hundreds of activities and events take place around the world,
gathering communities, organisations and individuals in
schools, businesses, hospitals, marketplaces, parks, community halls,
places of worship - in the streets and online - acting as a powerful
reminder that we all have a role to play in reducing the global impact
of cancer.
This year's World Cancer Day's theme, 'I Am and I Will',is
all about you and your commitment to act. We believe that through our
positive actions, together we can reach the target of reducing the
number of premature deaths from cancer and noncommunicable diseases
by one third by 2030.
World Cancer Day themes
The 2019-2021 campaign theme is 'I Am and I Will'. The theme seeks to
counter the negative attitude and fatalistic belief that nothing can be
done about cancer, and instead promotes how our personal actions can be
powerful and impactful.
In 2016, World Cancer Day started a three-year campaign under the
tagline of 'We can. I can.', which explored the power of collective and
individual actions to reduce the impact of cancer. Prior to 2016, the campaign themes included "Not Beyond Us" (2015) and "Debunk the Myths" (2014).

History
World
Cancer Day was established on 4 February 2000 at the World Cancer Summit
Against Cancer for the New Millenium, which was held in Paris.
The Charter of Paris Against Cancer,
which was created to promote research, prevent cancer, improve patient
services, also included an article establishing the anniversary of the
document's official signing as World Cancer Day, was signed at the
Summit by the then General Director of UNESCO, Kōichirō Matsuura, and then French President Jacques Chirac in Paris on 4 February 2000.
canceris a broad term. It describes the disease that results when cellular changes cause the uncontrolled growth and division of cells. Some types of cancer cause rapid cell growth, while others cause cells to grow and divide at a slower rate.
Certain forms of cancer result in visible growths called tumors, while others, such as leukemia do not. Most of the body's clls have specific functions and fixed lifespans. While it may sound like a bad thing, cell death is part of a natural and beneficial phenomenon called apoptosis.
A cell receives instructions to die so that the body can replace it with a newer cell that functions better. Cancerous cells lack the components that instruct them to stop dividing and to die.
As a result, they build up in the body, using oxygen and nutrients that would usually nourish other cells, cancerous cells can form tumors, impair the immune system and cause other changes that prevent the body from functioning regularly.
Cancerous cells may appear in one area, then spread via the lymph nodes. These are clusters of immune cells located throughout the body.
Genetic factors can contribute to the development of cancer. A person's genetic code tells their cells when to divide and expire. Changes in the genes can lead to faulty instructions, and cancer can result.
Genes also influence the cells' production of proteins, and proteins carry many of the instructions for cellular growth and division. Some genes change proteins that would usually repair damages cells. This can lead to cancer. If a parent has these genes, they may pass on the altered instructions to their offspring.
Some genetic changes occur after birth, and factors such as smoking and sun exposure can increase the risk.
Other changes that can result in cancer take place in the chemical signals that determine how the body deploys or expresses specific genes.
Chemotherapy - To kill cancerous cells and shrink tumors
Hormonetherapy - To cure prostate and breast cancer
Immunotherapy - Boost immune system to fight against cancer cells
Radiationtherapy - High dose radiation to kill cancerous cells
Stem cell transplant - To cure blood related cancers
Surgery - To remove lymph nodes to prevent the disease spread
Types
The most common type of cancer in the U.S is breast cancer, followed by lung and prostate cancers, according to the National Cancer Institute, which excluded non melanoma skin cancers from the findings.
Each year, more than 40,000 people in the country receive a diagnosis of one of the following types of cancer:
Bladder
Colon and rectal
Endometrial
Kidney
Leukemia
Liver
Melanoma
Non Hodgkin's lymphoma
Pancreatic
Thyroid
Other forms are less common. According to the National Cancer Institute, there are over 100 types of cancer.
International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social,
economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also
marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Significant
activity is witnessed worldwide as groups come together to celebrate
women's achievements or rally for women's equality.
Marked annually on March 8th, International Women's Day (IWD) is one of the most important days of the year to:
celebrate women's achievements
raise awareness about women's equality
lobby for accelerated gender parity
fundraise for female-focused charities
What's the theme for International Women's Day?
The campaign theme for International Women's Day 2021 is 'Choose To Challenge'. A challenged world is an alert world. And from challenge comes change. So let's all #ChooseToChallenge.
What colors symbolize International Women's Day?
Purple, green and white are the colors of International Women's Day.
Purple signifies justice and dignity. Green symbolizes hope. White
represents purity, albeit a controversial concept. The colors originated
from the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in the UK in 1908.
How did International Women’s Day start?
The impetus for establishing an International Women’s Day can be traced back to New York City in February 1908,
when thousands of women who were garment workers went on strike and
marched through the city to protest against their working conditions.
“Like today, these women were in less organized workplaces [than their
male counterparts], were in the lower echelons of the garment industry,
and were working at low wages and experiencing sexual harassment,” says
Eileen Boris, Professor of Feminist Studies at the University of
California Santa Barbara.
In honor of the anniversary of those strikes, which were ongoing
for more than a year, a National Women’s Day was celebrated for the
first time in the U.S. on Feb. 28, 1909, spearheaded by the Socialist
Party of America.
Led by German campaigner and socialist Clara Zetkin,
the idea to turn the day into an international movement advocating
universal suffrage was established at the International Conference of
Working Women in 1910. Zetkin was renowned as a passionate orator and advocate for working women’s rights, and her efforts were crucial to the day’s recognition throughout much of Europe in the early 1910s.
International women's day quotes
“A charming woman doesn’t follow the crowd; she is herself.” –Loretta Young
“The best protection any woman can have is courage.” –Elizabeth Cady Stanton
“Where there is a woman, there is magic.” –Ntozake Shange
“You were given this life because you are strong enough to live it.” –Unknown
“Women are the largest untapped reservoir of talent in the world.” –Hillary Clinton
“A girl should be two things: Who and what she wants.” –Coco Chanel
“She wasn’t looking for a knight. She was looking for a sword.” –Atticus
“There’s nothing a man can do that I can’t do better and in heels.” –Ginger
National Science Day is celebrated annually on February 28.
National Science Day is celebrated to commemorate the discovery of
Raman Effect by Nobel laureate, physicist CV Raman on this day in 1928.
When was first National Science Day celebrated?
In 1986, the National Council for Science & Technology asked the
Government of India to designate February 28 as National Science Day.
Since 1987, the event is now celebrated all over the country in schools,
colleges, universities and other academic, scientific, technical,
medical and research institutions.
How does India celebrate National Science Day?
The celebration also includes public speeches, radio, TV, science
movies, science exhibitions, research demonstration, debates, and many
more activities.
Who was CV Raman?
Chandrashekhara Venkata Raman was a physicist from Tamil Nadu. His work
in the field of light scattering earned him Nobel Prize for Physics in
1930. This phenomenon was known as Raman effect. In 1954, he was
honoured with India's highest civilian award, the Bharat Ratna.

The Constitution of India, which was adopted by the Constituent
Assembly on November 26, 1949, came into effect on January 26, 1950.
This completed India's transition towards becoming an independent
republic with a democratic government system. January 26 was also chosen
as the day to mark Republic Day because it had been on this day that
the Indian National Congress (INC) proclaimed the Declaration of Indian
Independence in 1929. This was contrary to the 'dominion' status offered
by the British.
Is Republic Day a holiday?
Yes, Republic Day is a national holiday in India. However, schools
celebrate the day with patriotic zeal, with students and teachers
organising programmes and performances to mark the day.
Republic Day parade
The Republic Day parade, first held in 1950, has been a yearly ritual
since. The parade marches from the Rashtrapati Bhawan along the Rajpath
in New Delhi. Several regiments of the army, navy, and air force, along
with their bands, march to India Gate. The parade is presided over by
the President of India, who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Indian
Armed Forces. As he unfurls the tricolour, the national anthem is
played. The regiments of the Armed Forces then start their march past.
Prestigious awards like Kirti Chakra, Ashok Chakra, Paramvir Chakra and
Vir Chakra are given out by the President. Nine to twelve different
regiments of the Indian Army, in addition to the Navy and Air Force
march toward India Gate along with their bands. Contingents of
paramilitary forces and other civil forces also participate in the
parade. Tableau from various states display their culture.
Celebrations Galore
Republic Day is celebrated every year with much
enthusiasm all over the country and to mark the importance of this
occasion, a grand parade is held in the capital, New Delhi, from Raisina
Hill near the Rashtrapati Bhavan (President's House), along the
Rajpath, past India Gate and on to the historic Red Fort.
The event begins with the Prime Minister of India
laying a wreath at the Amar Jawan Jyoti at India Gate, commemorating all
the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country. Soon, a 21 gun
salute is presented, the President unfurls the National Flag and the National Anthem is played. This marks the beginning of the parade.
The President is accompanied by a notable foreign Head of State - who is the invited Chief Guest at the celebration.
The Parade begins with winners of gallantry awards
passing the President in open jeeps. President of India, who is the
Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Armed Forces,
takes the salute at the grand parade. The Indian Military also
showcases its latest acquisitions such as tanks, missiles, radars, etc.
Soon after, awards and medals of bravery are given by
the President to the people from the armed forces for their exceptional
courage in the field and also to those civilians who have distinguished
themselves by their different acts of valour in different situations.
After this, helicopters from the armed forces fly past the parade area showering rose petals on the audience.
The military parade is followed by a colourful cultural
parade. India's rich cultural heritage is depicted in the form of
tableaus from various states. Each state depicts its unique festivals,
historical locations and art. This exhibition of diversity and richness
of the culture of India lends a festive air to the occasion.
Tableaus from various government department and
ministries of India are also presented displaying their contribution
towards the progress of the nation. The most cheered section of the
parade is when the children who have won National Bravery Awards ride
past the dais on elephants. School-children from all over the country
also participate in the parade showcasing folk dances and singing to the
tunes of patriotic songs.
The parade also includes displays of skilful
motor-cycle rides, by the Armed Forces personnel. The most eagerly
awaited part of the parade is the fly past, put on by the Indian Air
Force. The fly past marks the conclusion of the parade, when fighter
planes of the IAF roar past the dais, symbolically saluting the
President.
Live Webcast
of the Republic Day Parade is made available every year to millions of
surfers who wish to view the parade over the Internet. After the event
is over, the exclusive footage is made available as 'video on demand'.
Celebrations, though on a relatively smaller scale, are
also held in all state capitals, where the Governor of the state
unfurls the Tricolour. Similar celebrations are also held at district
headquarters, sub divisions, talukas, and panchayats.
PM Rally
The Republic Day celebration is a three day
extravaganza and post this celebration at India Gate, on the 27th
January, a Prime Minister's Rally is held by a crème of N.C.C cadets
displaying various breath-taking performances and drill.
Lok Tarang
The Ministry of Culture, Government of India, in
association with seven Zonal Cultural Centres organises "Lok Tarang, -
National Folk Dance Festival" every year from 24th to 29th January. This
festival provides a unique opportunity for people to witness colourful,
vibrant and authentic folk dances drawn from various parts of the
country.
Beating the Retreat
Beating The Retreat officially denotes the end of
Republic Day festivities. All important Government Buildings are
beautifully decorated with lights every evening from 26th to 29th.
Beating the Retreat ceremony is conducted on the evening of January 29,
the third day after the Republic Day. The ceremony starts by the massed
bands of the three services marching in unison, playing popular marching
tunes.
The drummers also give a solo performance (known as the Drummer's Call). Followed by this the drummers play Abide With Me
(which is also said to be GandhiJi's favourite) and the chimes made by
the tubular bells, placed quite at a distance, create a mesmerising
ambience.
This is followed by the bugle call for Retreat, the
band master then marches to the President and requests permission to
take the bands away, and informs that the closing ceremony is now
complete. The bands march back playing a popular martial tune Saare JahanSe Achcha.
At exactly 6 pm, the buglers sound the retreat and
the National Flag is lowered, and the National Anthem is sung, bringing
the Republic Day celebrations to a formal end.
World leprosy day organized on the last
Sunday of January, each year all over the world across. On this
important day we spread public awareness of leprosy disease, including
the medical and social implications of the leprosy disease and the rights of
persons affected. Social media campaigns, community parades, school
programming, NGOs campaigns or events and cultural events are the world
in the weeks leading up to world leprosy day.
Commemorate World Leprosy Day
On this day, organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
hold public and educational outreach events where they give people
information about how to prevent the spread of the leprosy disease. Doctors and
other medical professionals spend time talking to the public about how
to recognize the symptoms of leprosy.
Organizations also hold rallies and marathons to raise money for
research and providing treatment and rehabilitate those afflicted with
the leprosy disease. In addition, seminars and workshops are held around the
world to address the problems faced by leprosy patients, and to find
ways to reduce the social stigma they face.
Public Life
World Leprosy Day is not an official holiday so businesses, schools, and government offices are open.
About World Leprosy Day
Leprosy is one of the oldest diseases known to humankind. Leprosy is also
known as Hansen’s disease, named after Norwegian physician Gerhard
Henrik Armauer Hansen, who debunked the prevailing notion at the time
that leprosy was a hereditary disease. He showed that the disease leprosy had a
bacterial cause instead. For thousands of years, people with leprosy
have been stigmatized and considered to be at the extreme margins of
society. The aim of World Leprosy Day is to change this attitude and
increase public awareness of the fact that leprosy can now be easily
prevented and cured.
The date for World Leprosy Day was chosen to coincide with the anniversary of Indian freedom fighter Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination on January 30, 1948. During his lifetime, Mahatma Gandhi worked tirelessly towards the betterment of people afflicted with leprosy.
About Disease
Leprosy or Hansen’s Disease
A chronic, curable infectious disease mainly causing skin lesions and nerve damage.
Very rare
Fewer than 100 thousand cases per year (India)
Treatable by a medical professional
Spreads by airborne droplets
Requires a medical diagnosis
Lab tests or imaging often required
Chronic: can last for years or be lifelong
Leprosy is caused by infection with the bacterium Mycobacterium
leprae. It mainly affects the skin, eyes, nose and peripheral nerves.
Symptoms include light-coloured or red skin patches with reduced sensation, numbness and weakness in hands and feet.
