ICMR funds critical public health infrastructure like the National Cancer Registry Programme, which we rely on for allocating chemotherapy vials and planning palliative care beds in our region. Their grants are often rigid, though—tailored for large institutes, not for hills where transporting biological samples itself needs a separate budget 😅. From my desk in Gangtok, I see the data but also the gaps: our Sikkimese momo sellers' tobacco habits aren't fully captured in those national estimates, *bhai*.
