Where Hope Meets Healing
The Rishi Kant Foundation, a registered charitable trust, is raising funds to transform India’s cancer care ecosystem with an ultimate goal to build the NSG Cancer Care Institute: a charitable hospital offering dignified, compassionate cancer care to families across India, regardless of their ability to pay.
A 100 bed hospital, expandable to 300, planned for Punjab, Haryana, within 100 km of Delhi NCR, or Himachal Pradesh, targeted to be operational by April 2030 and specialising in cancer and related ailments.
Preventive oncology and early detection to catch cancer before it advances.
Comprehensive treatment pathways under one roof.
Advanced, evidence based treatment services.
Alongside day care treatment facilities for outpatient care.
Dignified, painless care at every stage of the journey.
Dedicated care pathways for the most vulnerable patients.
Supporting the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
Community education to encourage earlier diagnosis.
Support for deserving patients who cannot afford treatment.
Cancer care in India remains out of reach for millions. These are the realities the NSG Cancer Care Institute is built to change.

In 2014, the Chairman's mother battled cholangiocarcinoma with a prognosis of two to three months. Through a combination of Allopathy and Homeopathy, her life was prolonged to fifteen months, and her journey was made entirely painless.A Personal Catalyst for Painless Care
That experience became the foundation's calling. The NSG Cancer Care Institute is being built to honour her last wish: to provide serene, dignified care to poverty stricken families across India, so that no one is denied dignity, hope, or treatment because of financial hardship.
The foundation and the institute it is building, working together to bring painless, dignified cancer care within reach of every family.
A registered charitable trust founded in 2010 by High Court lawyer Amit Sharma, originally providing free legal mediation and medical assistance. For sixteen years, the foundation has run cancer awareness campaigns, early detection programs, health camps, and community outreach. It is now leading the effort to build the NSG Cancer Care Institute.
An initiative of the Rishi Kant Foundation: a planned charitable care and research facility dedicated entirely to cancer and related ailments. It is designed to serve poverty stricken families who would otherwise have nowhere to turn, offering treatment rooted in compassion rather than the ability to pay.
