- A grant-in-aid of Rupees One crore twenty five lakh only (Rs. 1 25 00 000/-) was given by the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India for the purchase of a Bhabhatron II radiotherapy cobalt unit. The Bhabhatron was designed by the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre and is indigenously manufactured, a first for India that has resulted in huge cost savings on the purchase of cobalt units that earlier had to be imported.
- More than 184 free camps held, more than 125 000 in the high-risk population examined and more than 1685 free operations performed since January 1989. In the year 2007, 3 camps both diagnostic and surgical were organized. 170 patients were examined and given required treatment & advice.

In the year 2007, 14 patients were offered radiotherapy, of which for 12 patient charges were partially waived off. The small number for 2007 is a reflection of the fact that we stopped accepting new patients as the radiotherapy centre was undergoing upgradation.
