CU Student & NSS Volunteer Saves Young Cancer Patient with Life-Saving Stem Cell Donation

At Chandigarh University, we nurture not just minds but hearts. Our students are encouraged to look beyond themselves and to contribute to the sustainable progress of the globe. The story of CU student Arvind Kumar is a shining example of how our students rise to the challenge, extending their hands to those in need, and building a brighter, healthier future for all.

Arvind Kumar, an M.A. Public Administration student and NSS volunteer, recently performed an extraordinary act of compassion and selflessness that has touched many hearts. By donating his stem cells, Arvind has given a new lease on life to an 8-year-old child bravely battling cancer. This heartfelt gesture not only brought hope and healing to a young life but also showcased the profound impact that our students can make on the world.

A Journey of Compassion

Months after registering, Arvind received a call informing him that he was a perfect match for an 8-year-old cancer patient in dire need of a stem cell transplant. Without a moment's hesitation, Arvind agreed to proceed with the donation process. His family, friends, and university supported him wholeheartedly, recognizing the immense significance of his decision.

The Donation Process

Stem cell donation is a complex yet life-saving procedure. Arvind underwent a series of medical tests to ensure he was fit to donate. The process involved the extraction of peripheral blood stem cells, a non-invasive method that is similar to donating blood. Throughout the procedure, Arvind remained calm and focused, driven by the thought of helping the young patient in need.

A New Lease on Life

The transplant was a success. The young boy, who had been bravely fighting cancer, began showing signs of recovery soon after receiving Arvind's stem cells. The joy and relief experienced by the boy's family were beyond words. Arvind's selfless act had not only saved a life but also brought immense happiness to a family that had been through so much.

A Testament to CU Values

Arvind's act of kindness is a testament to the values we hold dear at Chandigarh University. Our commitment to nurturing compassionate, socially responsible individuals is reflected in the actions of our students. Arvind's story serves as an inspiration to all, reminding us that each of us has the power to make a significant difference in the lives of others.
