The cancer institute is much needed for Northeast India. People currently travel to Delhi or Mumbai for treatment. This will save lives and reduce financial burden on families.

While these initiatives are good, I hope the implementation is effective. Often schemes look great on paper but don't reach the actual beneficiaries. Ground monitoring is key.
