The British Businessman helping his

State beat Cancer.
Rani Singh, Special Assignments Editor  Monday 04th January 2016 18:10 EST

There are lots of successful business people in the Indian community, and many of them donate to charity. Some
even start their own foundations.

But it’s rare to find someone who is so committed, so passionate about his or her cause that they seem to spend most
of their public life either talking about it or being in the field, making health camps and helping the needy in their
home states.

Meet Kulwant Singh Dhaliwal, who made such an impassioned speech at a recent charity event that he blew the
audience’s socks off. He puts his money where his mouth is and has helped a lot of people in his home state, Punjab.
Where it all started.

Kulwant Dhaliwal took his degrees in Punjab, and immigrated to the UK at 27 years old. He built a successful
business in fashion clothing retail and wholesale. He also built up a property portfolio that is now managed by his
wife Manjit Kaur, as he retired at 45 to devote his life to charity. After losing his father-in-law to cancer in 2006, he
decided to wage war against ignorance of the disease.

Cancer Attack

Mr. Kulwant Singh Dhaliwal is the Global Ambassador of charity ‘World Cancer Care.’ World Cancer Care was set
up to help provide people with cancer detection facilities. The charity has tested thousands of individuals all over
India for a variety of cancers, helping in both the detection and education about prevention. Since his appointment
Kulwant has organised numerous camps across India reaching the smallest and the most remote villages to increase
awareness and the early detection of cancer when it is curable.

The camps cater for cervix and prostate cancer along with breast and other forms of cancer. The disease leads to
over 85% deaths in the state of Punjab.

Instead of taking donations, Mr. Dhaliwal inspires individuals to sponsor camps directly by requesting them to
deliver World Cancer Care camps to their respective villages.

But it was due to his fight against cancer that Kulwant came to be speaking at Sterling Dental Foundation’s recent
charity ball to raise money for charity walker Bobby Grewal.

Challenges
Kulwant said that the toughest part of his advocacy work was getting people to accept that he wanted a charity that
would help at ground level. His aim was to help people at their source directly, in their villages, and provide help
where it was needed. The challenge was to make people’s money count on the ground.

The Mission

Kulwant believes that the biggest gift that is of education and knowledge. He wants that, instead of giving money to
a poor child, that they be given education so they can earn a living and eradicate poverty from their entire family.

He spreads western knowledge in India by using cancer educational and information material of the NHS, by
translating them into different languages and distributing leaflets.

Kulwant wants money to go to go to education and treatment “Instead of temples and places of worship,” he says, as
he did most forcefully at the Sterling Foundation Ball.

Kulwant is also the Chairman of the ‘Sardar Sant Singh Dhaliwal Trust’, an athletic charity. He himself walks
around 200 miles a month, taking part in charitable walks like the 2013 British 10K London Run.

Mr. Dhaliwal set up the ‘Sant Singh Dhaliwal Trust’ in the name of his father to address female foeticide, the
adolescent marriage of girls and a lack of education available to the poor.

After retiring, Mr. DhaliwaI discovered that foeticide was the reason that boys made up 70% of the children out of a
population of around 3,000 in his birthplace, Bir Rauke in Punjab.

The trust mainly operates in this area and has led to reversing the female to male ratio with 107 females to 100
males in the area.

It has adopted female children, educates and clothes them, teaches them life skills and gives them financial help for
their marriages.

The trust has provided school uniforms, books, stationary, and awards to over 337 children since 1991 with over 18
individual’s now holding high ranking government jobs.

Kulwant said,” We take our buses round; the mammogram machines are on the buses. We find out if any of the
family members have had cancer, and can take just six to seven minutes to do a mammogram.”

Aarogya, DJJS piloted free ‘Cancer Screening & Awareness

Camp’ with ‘World Cancer Care Charitable Society’ at
Nurmahal, Punjab
 April 2, 2018
‘Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan’ (DJJS), under its holistic health program - ‘Aarogya’, gave respite to the
needy by holding a day long “Cancer Screening & Awareness Camp” on 21st March 2018 at Nurmahal
Ashram in Jalandhar, Punjab in association with ‘World Cancer Care Charitable Society’, Jalandhar;
especially for the rural communities residing within the vicinity of Ashram premises. The main objective in
organizing this camp were to raise awareness on different types of cancer; benefits of early detection; ways to
facilitate cancer treatment & cure and on letting people know the fact that cancer is curable if detected at an early
stage.

On the day of camp, the patients were registered with the details of their case history, address and contact number to
form a database. World Cancer Care Charitable Society provided an expert medical team of doctors &
paramedical staff and rendered its services by also providing the facilities of fully equipped three Mobile units for
early cancer detection & awareness. The registered patients were given awareness on different types of cancer and
their relevant screening processes. The specialized medical team examined 153 patients, comprising of 90 men
& 63 women, through different screening tests & techniques like physical examination, mammography
test, Pap test, PST test, Smear test etc. to recognize the early symptoms of cancer. Also people from
surrounding villages visited the camp so as to seek health benefits.

Swami Gurusharnanand, a disciple of His Holiness Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, who also coordinated this camp,
enlightened the astute gathering with the very motive of conducting such camps by the organization. Subsequently,
he explained and talked about the cancer menace which is acting like a juggernaut in wiping out the life of people
and their loved ones. He further added that despite its deadly consequences, the effects of cancer can still be well
controlled and cured by the modern technology & medicines.

There was a special contribution in the camp by Mr Kripal Singh Dheem, who came all the way from England.
While sharing his perspective, he said “Cancer awareness is an ongoing process and it needs incessant efforts.
People should know that early detection is important and it could help save lives”.

In the end, on behalf of the organization, the DJJS preachers expressed gratitude to the medical team of World
Cancer Care Charitable Society for their valuable support & contribution in the success of the Camp. And
they also shared organization’s vision and various activities that are being conducted at both social and spiritual
fronts in order for achieving ‘Global Peace’ – the ultimate goal of the organization.

Print media covered this event in ‘Dainik Jagran’, ‘Punjab Kesari’, ‘Punjabi Jagran’ and ‘Jag
Vaani’ newspapers.
