In a promising development, research conducted in Chhattisgarh suggests that a special type of rice could play a role in treating cancer. Sanjeevani rice, a disappearing variety from Bastar, has been investigated by the Indira Gandhi Agricultural University. Researchers found that this rice has the potential to target and eliminate cancer cells. Studies with the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre showed positive outcomes. The Central Drug Research Institute has also confirmed the anti-cancer properties of the rice. Human trials are set to start in January at the Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital. Sanjeevani rice contains 213 biochemicals, including seven that act as cancer-fighting agents. These compounds activate Nrf2, an antioxidant, to protect against cellular damage that can cause cancer. This discovery could lead to a new approach to cancer treatment. Dr. R.H. Richharia first identified the medicinal qualities of this rice variant in 1974, highlighting its potential.
