The initiative focuses on early detection, public education, and community mobilization—empowering students, faculty, and local residents to take proactive steps against oral cancer.

Mission: Oral Cancer Free India
Part of the national “Two-Minute Self-Check” movement, the campaign encourages individuals to examine themselves and loved ones—especially those using tobacco, gutkha, supari, or pan masala—for early signs of oral cancer. These signs include red or white patches, persistent ulcers, restricted mouth opening due to buccal fibrosis, tongue immobility, burning sensations while eating, and dryness of the mouth.
Key Mission Highlights
* Oral Cancer Ambassadors: Students and faculty trained to become ambassadors and advocates for oral cancer awareness and prevention.
* Awareness Seminars: Led by Dr. Kartavya Agravat, covering risk factors like tobacco, alcohol, HPV, and self-examination techniques.
* Live Demonstrations: Real-time education on how chewing tobacco products leads to Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) and restricted mouth opening.
* Hands-On Training: Step-by-step guidance on conducting a two-minute oral self-check using visual guides and slideshows.

Why It Matters
India represents one-third of the global oral cancer burden, with Gujarat particularly affected due to widespread smokeless tobacco usage and delayed diagnoses. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) is classified as an Oral Potentially Malignant Disorder (OPMD)—making early detection and intervention essential.
