Care and Concern, a Delhi based NGO, contacted the Youth Group members seeking help for Arpan Sardar, a 14 year‑old, diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukaemia (ALL). Currently recuperating at Saroj Gupta Cancer Centre and Research Institute, Thakurpukur, Kolkata, Arpan needed approximately Rs. 2.5 lakhs for his treatment, which was a distant dream for his daily wage labourer father. Hearts of Kolkata youth ached at his plight and they collected Rs. 40,000 from amongst themselves as well as their friends, in a bid to provide whatever help they could. They also visited Arpan and other ailing children at the cancer centre. Having known that Arpan is fond of painting, they gifted him and other children with drawing books, crayons and other painting aids.
