Akshaya Mitra is a service offered by Mitra CanCare Foundation to help children suffering with childhood cancer. The aim of this is to provide financial and emotional support to such children and their families.
Under the Akshaya Mitra service, Balamitrotsava is an event organised periodically by Mitra CanCare in various hospitals where childhood cancer patients are undergoing treatment. Balamitrotsava is a specially designed support event to provide children battling cancer with a safe, fun environment to express their creativity and be able to socialize. It has been designed as a creative and expressive platform for young children fighting cancer with courage and resilience.
Balamitrotsava gives a nice break for the children undergoing treatment and for the parents a respite relief from the intense anxiety they undergo. We believe this will be a distinctive way to engage with the children while giving them and their parents a refreshing break from the trauma they are undergoing.
The “Balamitrotsava” program for the Ramaiah Memorial Hospital was launched on Saturday, April 4, 2026. The gathering was addressed by the COO of Ramaiah Memorial Hospital, Dr. Madan Gaekwad, followed by opening remarks from Dr. Santosh. Our sponsor for Ramaiah Balamitrotasava, Ms Sharada, Founder of S C Sharada & Associates graced the occasion and addressed the gathering, while Dr. Rasmi Palassery spoke about pediatric oncology and caregivers. Rtn. Krishnamurthy also graced the occasion and actively participated in the event. Mitra recognized the hospital for its service excellence, while Ramaiah Hospital, in turn, honored the Mitra Sevaks present with appreciation certificates.
