HOSPICE CARE FOR TERMINALLY ILL
(CANCER PATIENTS)
About the topic
• In India, over 10 lakh new cases of cancer are diagnosed  every year.
However, due to late diagnosis, over 7 lakh people die from the
disease each year. Projections by Indian Council of Medical Research
(ICMR) show that India is likely to have over 17.3 lakh new cases of
cancer and over 8.8 lakh deaths due to the disease by 2020.
• More than 1 million new cases of cancer occur each year in India with
over 80% presenting at stage III and stage IV.

Kinds of care
Curative Care:
• Focuses on a cure to an illness and the prolonging of life.
Palliative Care:
• Focuses on comfort and quality of life that may be provided with
other treatments.
Hospice Care:
• Focuses on comfort and quality of life when a cure is not possible with
specialize care and services.
Difference Between Palliative
Care and Hospice

Both palliative care and hospice care

provide comfort.
•Palliative care can begin at diagnosis,
and at the same time as treatment.
•Hospice care begins after treatment
of the disease is stopped and when it
is clear that the person is not going to
survive the illness

Need of Hospice Care in Cancer
Patients
•Cancer is a life-threatening disease which
is difficult to treat and cure.
•Patients with advanced cancers suffer a
lot
•The emphasis is not on exaggerating the
length of someone’s life with medical
intervention but on improving the person’s
last stage of life with quality of care and
pain relief.
•The focus eventually has to shift from cure
or life prolongation to palliation.

Hospice Care-A place where
people can live with dignity,
until they die.
• Recognizes dying as part of the
normal process of living.
• Affirms life and neither hastens nor
postpones death.
• Focuses on quality of life for
individuals and their family
caregivers.
• Hospices are end-of-life care
facilities that emphasize a “good
death,” where terminally-ill people die
in honourable and natural ways with
a minimum of medical assistance.
• It is not a form of hospitalized care
that prolongs or shortens the life of
an individual but instead attempts to
maximize the pleasure and comfort
of an individual as their body
concedes to their illness.
 Choice between
Quality or Quantity

Cure has its own limitations

but there is no limit for
CARE, compassion,empathy
that can be given to patients.

Capacity to create hope and support

Death will come to all people
at some time, caring allows
the people to die with dignity.

RECREATIONAL TOURIST ECO RESORT
 INTRODUCTION
The Indian tourism and hospitality
industry has emerged as one of
the key drivers of growth among
the services sector in India.
Tourism in India has significant
potential considering the rich
cultural and historical heritage,
variety in ecology, terrains and
places of natural beauty spread
across the country.
• Ecotourism in simple terms means
management of tourism and conservation
of nature in a way so as to maintain a fine
balance between the requirements of
tourism and ecology on the one hand and
needs of the local communities for jobs,
new skills, income generating
employment and a better living standards.
• Eco tourism is based on the idea of
minimum environmental intervention
along with sustenance and prosperity of
the native culture and economy of the
region it is built in.
• Ecotourism industry is one of the leading
employment generating sectors of India
and it generates directly or indirectly
approximately 3.8% employment out of
the total employment generation every
year in India.
ECO-TOURISM or ETHICAL TOURISM

• Contributes to sustainable development

• Sustainable-development seeks to optimize the present social and
economic benefits without compromising the future needs.
• Uses local building materials or recycled materials, renewable sources of
energy, recycling and safe disposal of waste and garbage, environmentally
and culturally sensitive design.
• Ethical because it seeks wellbeing of local communities by boosting their
social, economic development acting as a alternative income source for
social sectors living in hard economic situations.
• Educates both tourists as well as residents of nearby communities.
SCOPE-
To design a eco resort considering the needs of tourists to serve as a
good recreational space for tourists local as well as foreigners and to
increase the local economy and living standards.

Boost to Local Markets

With thriving tourism we also aim to boost the local industries. Skilled
craftsmen will be able to showcase their handicraft to the growing
number of tourists giving the overall local markets a tremendous
opportunity to flourish. The result will be in the form of much needed
revenue to the people and the state.

Employment Generation
The project also aims to create long term employment for the people of
and its
Surrounding areas. The result of mass employment will mark a
substantial growth in their standard of living. Staffing extensively will also
ensure quality of service and maintain the cleanliness of the
surroundings. 
• TENTATIVE SITE:
• location – mullanpur, punjab
• The proposed site is situated on the outskirts of
chandigarh. the site enjoys the backdrop of shivalik hills
and has the famous river ghaggar flowing at the rear side.
MEDITATION RETREAT CENTRE
Introduction
• As the demands of people are increasing from various spheres (job,
home, relationship, friends etc), the stress levels are also going high.
This is true for everyone. This is specially true for people in the corporate
world where the race is to achieve more and more with less time.
• The more responsibility you have in life, more is the need for meditation.
If you have nothing to do, you may not need meditation as much -
because you have nothing to do. The busier you are, the less time you
have, more work you have, more desires you have, ambitions you have -
all the more you need to be meditative. Because meditation not only
relieves you of stress and strain, it enhances your abilities to face
challenges.
I strongly feel Mediation is required in this changing/demanding world. In the corporate
world it is even more required for obvious reasons. So there is definitely very good scope
for Meditation Retreat centre.
•Inner peace, patience and happiness
•Improves quality of life
•Brings control over thoughts
•Helps in reducing stress and controlling anger
• CLIENT BRIEF
• The extremely scenic site overlooking small hillocks is located 35 kms from Indore
in the outskirts of MHOW (Madhya Pradesh).
• Both the client and his wife are spiritual people practicing yoga and meditation.
• The brief for the site was to design a meditation centre.
• It is believed when one meditates under a pyramid built at a specific angle of 51
degrees the energy concentrates at the apex of the pyramid and the benefits of
such meditation are manifold.
• The site area is approximately 5600 sq.ft and the requirement was to build 3
pyramids where people could stay and meditate and a small pantry area.
