姑息治疗学生组织（SIPC）是印度喀拉拉邦科泽科德世界卫生组织姑息医学合作中心（WHOCC）姑息医学研究所的一个分支，是社区参与姑息治疗的一种体现。自2008年以来，它是一个由数百名学生志愿者组成的充满活力的平台，致力于为有姑息治疗需求的人组织负担得起的支持项目。“因为我在乎”（BIC）：这是SIPC开展的一项基层活动，旨在提高社区对姑息治疗的认识，参与患者护理活动并筹集资源。
展示以下理念：1. 青年参与姑息治疗；2. 探索复制的可能性。
为注册的学生志愿者在学院和培训项目中开展结构化的宣传活动。
约3000名学生接触了30000人，传递姑息治疗信息并筹集资源。筹集了160万卢比。定期开展了诸如“摆脱疼痛”“爱的签名”“同情之风筝”等值得称赞的活动。还将举办一次关于“姑息治疗中的青年”的国际会议。
将充满活力的年轻人置于任何发展进程的中心可带来包容性和可持续的参与。该活动帮助学生找到了改善自身生活以及造福整个社区的真正机会。学生群体参与姑息治疗是可行的，因为对共同公益的社会参与始终是全球学生群体的一个固有特征。同情是一种全球现象，患者的痛苦在各地几乎相同。
