Chandrashekar, a farmer from Bahour, Puducherry, is more than just a cultivator of the land—he is a dedicated environmental activist and the President of the Bangaru Vaikkal Association. For years, he has been at the forefront of the fight to protect his homeland from illegal encroachment and harmful sand mining practices that threaten the delicate ecosystem in the Bahour region. His efforts have led to legal battles, including cases filed with the National Green Tribunal (NGT) and the Madras High Court. Through persistence and passion, he successfully halted sand mining activities in the Then Ponnaiyar riverbeds, ensuring the preservation of vital natural resources for future generations.
However, while Chandrashekar has been tirelessly advocating for the environment, he has also been fighting a personal battle against a serious health condition. He has been diagnosed with Renal Cell Carcinoma, a form of kidney cancer. The cancer has taken a toll on his health, and doctors have recommended immediate immunotherapy, a costly yet necessary treatment that is beyond his financial means as a farmer.
Previously, through the kindness of supporters and well-wishers, Chandrashekar was able to receive treatment that extended his life, allowing him to continue his environmental advocacy. His recovery from the earlier stages of cancer was made possible by the generosity of those who believed in his cause. Now, faced with the need for continued and more advanced treatments, Chandrashekar once again seeks the support of the community.
The cost of the immunotherapy is substantial, and without it, his ability to continue fighting both his illness and his environmental mission is at risk. Chandrashekar’s dedication to protecting the land has impacted countless lives, and now, he asks for help to secure his future and continue his work. Every contribution will go directly towards his treatment, helping him overcome cancer and resume his vital role as a protector of the environment in Bahour.
Your support will not only help save Chandrashekar’s life but also enable him to keep advocating for the land, ensuring that the environment he has fought so hard to protect remains safe for future generations. Together, we can make a difference in his fight for both personal survival and the preservation of nature. Please donate today and share this story with your friends and family.
