Mahindra Group chairman Anand Mahindra, known for being an active social media user, was recently seen lauding a cancer centre in Odisha that provides free palliative care to patients at advanced stages of the disease.

“What a humane and generous project. Subroto, I salute you and Susmita for making your state and our country a far better place,” the industrialist wrote on the X platform.

Sharing a post by IPS officer Arun Bothra, Mahindra also urged others to spread the word about the centre.

Bothra had shared pictures of Bagchi Karunashraya Palliative Care Centre (BKPCC) in Bhubaneswar, which started its in-patient services earlier this week, with a focus to provide “compassionate care for advanced cancer patients”.

BKPCC is a collaborative effort of Bangalore Hospice Trust (BHT) Karunashraya and Mindtree co-founder Subroto Bagchi for which the Bagchi family had pledged Rs 130 crore.

The Bagchi couple has also donated Rs 210 crore for 750-bed Bagchi-Sri Shankara Cancer Centre and Research Institute. It was inaugurated by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik in February.
