World Cancer Day

4th Feb is celebrated as World Cancer Day. Cancer was derived from the word crab which in Latin means the “unseen hidden underground enemy.” Cancer causes abnormal and uncontrolled multiplication of cells which do not show any pain at its earliest stage. World Health Organisation, WHO, each year on 4th February supports International Union Against Cancer (UICC) to promote ways to ease the global burden of cancer.

According to a survey conducted by WHO, Cancer is the leading cause of death all over the world without intervention. In 2005, 7.6 million people died of cancer. More than 70% of these deaths occurred in low and middle income countries. WHO estimates that 84 million people will die of cancer between 2005 and 2015 without intervention. To prevent such deaths WHO has developed a series of six modules. These modules provide practical advice for Programme Managers and Policy-Makers on how to advocate, plan and implement effective cancer control programmes.

The theme of World Cancer Day for the year 2010 is “Cancer Can Be Prevented Too.” This year the primary focus of WHO is to focus on simple preventive measures to prevent the spread of cancer by propogating the following:

• No tobacco use
• Healthy diet
• Regular exercise
• Limited alcohol use
• Protection against cancer-causing infections

Today, to commemorate World Cancer Day, the first Cancer Research UK laboratory has been launched in Scotland at Dundee’s Ninewells Hospital.

Basant Panchmi has a specific meaning; Basant means spring, whereas Panchami means the fifth day of the spring. The festival lies in the month of January-February and is celebrated with great fervor in North India. The festival marks the end of the winters and is one of the first festivals of the Year.
On the day of the festival, people dress up in the diverse shades of yellow, as the colour yellow symbolizes the splendor of nature. Kite flying, a popular sport in India, is associated with Basant Panchmi day. It is a day for the young and old alike. No routine work, no studies, only merry making!! And when it comes to celebrations, SHEMROCK is never behind…
The onset of the spring season was welcomed by Shemrockites by dressing up in hues of yellow and orange- it was the special dress code for the day and all the kids looked pretty in their colorful dresses. The School premises also matched up to the occasion in terms of decoration with yellow flowers – Marigolds and Sunflowers adorned the little campus. Little children came dressed as little Sunflowers & Marigold flowers. The food menu for the day was also as per the occasion- Yellow Sweet Rice and Orange Boondi Laddoos were served to the children. SHEMROCK Parents were invited to a Kite Flying Competition where the kids as well as their parents had lots of fun.
