Tata Trusts’ Public Health Awareness Campaign Highlights Reasons for Cervical Cancer Detection Delays, Promoting Early Screening

New Delhi, July 2025.Sometimes, one of the hardest battles a woman fights is the one with herself – the doubt, silence, and hesitation to put herself first. Tata Trusts’ public health awareness campaign, ‘Khud Se Jeet,’ captures this quiet conflict, urging women to seek timely cervical cancer screening and take charge of their health.Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among Indian women, claiming nearly 75,000 lives each year—often due to late detection.

Monsoon diet- Raw foods weaken digestive system

Jaipur, June 27, 2025.The monsoon season is here, bringing relief from the summer's scorching heat. During this time of year, we all crave hot tea and crispy fritters.
