About Me

I am a medical doctor with a Masters in Human Sexuality. I started working as Jr. Medical Officer thirty years ago and working through various positions, today as the Director General of FPA India, I feel privileged to be the CEO of the organization.

FPA India plays an important role of complementing and supporting the Government of India's work, particularly in the field of Family Planning, Maternal Child Health and other priority areas related to Women, Men, Individuals, and Young People's Sexual and Reproductive Health. We work with communities and individuals, helping them to realize their rights. Our priority is to reach out to the most vulnerable and marginalized individuals and ensure their development. Young people are an integral part of FPA India's work. Our interventions are responsive to community needs, aiming at holistic development of individuals and communities.

We strive to create new evidence, indicative models which would guide the programs through its innovation and insightfulness. I Support FPA India because Sexual and Reproductive Rights are human rights! Family Planning Saves Lives! Young people are the present and future of our country!!

Appeal

Every 90 seconds, we lose a woman to cervical cancer, worldwide. Cervical cancer remains one of India's most frequent cancers and a top cause of cancer-related mortality in women in low- and middle-income nations1. It is primarily caused by infection with HPV (Human Papilloma Virus).

Vaccination against HPV, along with regular screening can prevent cervical cancer. Yet, many women are unaware of the simple preventive measures, and often don’t seek treatment until it is too late.

Besides, HPV vaccines are not freely available in India yet, through the public sector, and prohibitively expensive for many, if purchased through the private sector.

Secondly, despite a National Cancer Screening Programme in India that includes population level cervical cancer screening, only 1.9% of women have ever undergone screening for cervical cancer, as per the NFHS-5 report.

The campaign “ Race to Erase Cervical Cancer” launched by FPA India last year helped secure more than 900 HPV vaccine doses and conduct 16000 cervical cancer screenings over a short span of 9 months.

FPA India is on a mission to protect 100,000 adolescent girls and women from this preventable cancer, with information and access to affordable HPV vaccines for adolescent girls and cervical cancer screening for women.

I am leveraging the TMM 2025 platform to raise the required funds for accelerating this campaign
I appeal to you to donate on my page and join us in our fight against cervical cancer!

Your donation will help FPA India conduct

1. Awareness sessions on cervical cancer prevention
2. Address vaccine hesitancy, procure HPV vaccines and conduct vaccination drives in schools and communities
3. Conduct cervical cancer screenings and offer continuum of care to those in need.

Cervical cancer is a preventable disease. It is also curable if detected early and adequately treated.

Join us in our Race to Erase Cervical Cancer by donating now!!
