IAS Officer Sonal Goel Summits Mount Kilimanjaro to Promote Cancer and Drug Awareness
Senior IAS officer Sonal Goel, who lost her father to cancer in 2023, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to raise awareness about cancer prevention, early detection, healthy living, and the dangers of drug abuse. She reached Stella Point at 5,756 meters during an eight-day expedition via the Lemosho route, as the only woman in a 10-member group. Goel carried awareness messages and the Indian flag, continuing a campaign she began during an Everest Base Camp trek earlier this year.
