The increase in the number of cancer cases in the country may be attributed to larger number of ageing population, unhealthy life styles, use of tobacco and tobacco products, unhealthy diet, better diagnostic facilities etc.

 

The Government of India is currently implementing a scheme for enhancing the tertiary care facilities for Cancer in the country. Under the said scheme, Government of India assists to set up/establish State Cancer Institutes (SCI) and Tertiary Care Cancer Centre (TCCC) in different parts of the country. The maximum assistance inclusive of State share for SCI is uptoRs. 120 crores and for TCCC is uptoRs. 45 crores.

 

Under the scheme, 47 proposals have been received out of which 16 proposals are for SCI and 31 for TCCCs. After evaluation and examination 6 SCIs and 5 TCCCs have been approved and first installment of Central Government share has been released.

 

A statement showing the release of funds under the said scheme during the last two years and the current year is given below:
