Free and prompt service: Women from all sections, including economically weaker women, can get the test done without spending anything.

Privacy and safety: Keeping in mind women's feelings and social hesitation, the screening will be conducted in a very safe and completely confidential manner.

State-of-the-art screening: Modern equipment for accurate detection of breast cancer at an early stage, and a specialist medical team, will be on board the rath.

Statewide expansion: Starting from Nagpur, this service drive will be taken to every corner of Maharashtra, including villages and remote hamlets, in the coming days.

The 'Namo Shakti Rath' is not merely an administrative project. It is his sacred pledge for the health of every mother in Maharashtra.
