I am Aniket Das, the founder of Mun Memorial Trust, and my journey in social work is deeply personal. After losing my mother to cancer, I was confronted with the harsh realities of this disease—both the emotional and physical toll it takes on families and the many barriers to effective treatment, especially for those from underserved communities. Her passing became the turning point in my life, driving me to dedicate myself to ensuring that others facing cancer receive the support, care, and hope they deserve.With Mun Memorial Trust, I set out to address the gaps in cancer care—focusing on awareness, early detection, and making treatment more accessible to those who need it the most. Our work spans cancer education camps, free screenings, and treatment assistance, but it doesn’t stop there. We also engage in broader social initiatives to improve healthcare, education, and the empowerment of women, all with the goal of creating lasting change in society.My experience as a social worker has been shaped by a genuine desire to bring about transformation at both the individual and community levels. Every project I lead is built on the foundation of empathy, collaboration, and resilience. I understand the struggles of those fighting cancer because I have walked that path myself, and through Mun Memorial Trust, I am committed to ensuring that no one faces it alone.Through these efforts, I hope to honor my mother’s memory by making a difference in the lives of others. I believe that with collective action and compassion, we can build a future where every person has a fair chance at overcoming cancer and living a healthier, fuller life.
