He is the Director of Cachar Cancer Hospital and Research Centre (CCHRC), a nonprofit hospital that treats cancer patients and the former Head of Department of surgical oncology at Adyar Cancer Institute in Chennai. In the year 2006, Dr Ravi Kannan visited the Cachar Cancer Hospital and Research Centre for the first time for a consultation on the request of a colleague and that’s when he met the then director of CCHRC who offered him to head the centre. Dr Kannan who was then heading the surgical oncology department of Adyar Cancer Institute left his practice in Chennai and moved to Assam with his family in 2007. Not only did he convince his wife and daughter to leave with him and build a hospital from the ground in Assam, he also inspired several young professionals to follow him to Assam and help him manage the hospital and provide basic healthcare facilities to the people of Barak Valley. The commitment of the hospital staff is commendable despite the fact that the young professionals, live in very simple residential quarters. They bond like a family, working into the night and celebrate festivals with staff and patients. The Cachar Cancer Hospital pretty much runs like a close-knit family. As a matter of fact, he has treated around 70,000 cancer patients free of cost till now. In this year’s list of the Padma Awardees, an unsung hero like Dr Ravi Kannan who left his the comforts of his home in Chennai to take the less travelled road to Silchar to serve the underprivileged was honoured with the fourth highest civilian honour of Government of India- “Padma Shri”. He has also received several other awards and citations from various institutions and organisations. He has been rightly described as “Medical Messiah for Cancer Patients in Remote Barak Valley”. India needs more people like Dr Kannan to change the face of India’s medical industry. ROTARY INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT 3291 and ROTARY CLUB OF BELUR Presents Rotary’s THE FOUR WAY TEST – PERSON OF THE YEAR AwARD 2020 to Dr Ravi Kannan The Four Way Test embodies the ideals of Rotary- Truth, Fairness, Goodwill, Friendship, Peace and better understanding among human beings. Dr Ravi Kannan not only believes but also practices these ideals in his life and he is a living example of these values. 1. Is it the TRUTH DrRavi Kannan, an Oncologist by profession, is driven by the mission of providing free treatment to Cancer Patients. He is illuminating hope in the lives of Cancer Patients who otherwise would have lived in despair awaiting death from the day of diagnosis due. to lack of affordability of adequate treatment. He is incarnating ‘Service Above Self’ in true sense of the word. 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned Dr Ravi Kannan has treated more than 70,000 patients without taking a single rupee from them. Besides providing free treatment to cancer patients, his hospital also provides accommodation, food, and employment. He exemplifies fairness to the patients from all socioeconomic background. 3. Will it Build GOODWILLand better FRIENDSHIP He has devoted his entire life for the treatment and care of Cancer patients and was conferred the PADMA SHRI Award. He still continues to help his patients fight cancer. He has generated the chain and the bond and created an institution with a Team of equally committed professionals that is already building the goodwill and better friendship. 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned Dr Ravi Kannan has whole heartedly worked to serve the cause of Cancer Patients and his institution is governed by the operating belief “ Cancer doesn’t discriminate – Neither does the hospital”. His hospital Chachar Hospital provides modern cancer care for adults and children despite their socio-economic status. Under Dr Ravi Kanan’s stewardship, professionals are with the patients- right from their admission, through the treatment- caring for them, helping them make relevant decisions and assisting them and their families approach cancer with confidence. This work is BENEFICIAL to all concerned. Rotary’s The Four Way Test is awarded to Dr Ravi Kanan 21st of March 2021. Citation compiled by PN Amitabh Mohan 3. Will it build GOODWILL 1. Is it the 2. Is it FAIR to all and BETTER 4.Will it be BENEFICAL to all FRIENDSHIP? TRUTH? concerned? Concerned? truth. It’s all, so to say, relative, dependent on a person’s time, background, or position in life. Truth? For the relativists, who play a major role in contemporary higher education, the word carries little weight, has no real authority. All the more reason, of course, for those of us who believe in the truth to defend it, which, surely, is one of the chief intentions behind The Four-Way Test. Narrative The Second Way — “Is it fair to all This is a narrative every Rotarian should know - concerned?” — is of course inextricably lashed In 1932, Herbert John Taylor crafted a simple to the First Way. Truth may be difficult, trying, measuring stick of ethics for employees of his painful, and much else, but if it is unfair it isn’t struggling cookware company, a short code quite truth. For truth is impartial, disinterested, its 250 workers could easily memorize. The by its very nature without favouritism — and guidelines’ embrace helped rescue the business hence fair.

The two, truth and fairness, do not so much follow, one after or from Herbert J Taylor, RI’s 44th President championed the other, but travel, like well-trained horses, in the code in all aspects of life. “Let us apply The tandem.

Often when we think we are being truthful, we are being less than fair. This seems especially The Four-Way Test is one of Rotary’s central so in politics. Politics has never provided fruitful principles. It is of special interest in the current ground for truth; quite the reverse. No single day, when truth — or, more precisely, truthfulness group is perhaps less noted for consistent — seems to be losing its prestige in public life. truthfulness than politicians. The reason for this is Everywhere you turn, the first of the Four Ways that politics does not seem to allow for neutrality; — “Is it the truth?” — seems to be more and in politics people are regularly asked — “forced” more in danger of getting lost in the realm of may be closer to it — to choose sides.
