Kanakanjali said she decided to shave off her head as the hairs would be used to make wigs for cancer patients, who are undergoing treatment.

She donated her well-maintained hairs to the Odisha Hair Donation Organisation for the cancer-affected patients, who lost their hairs and are financially weak.

Kanakanjali sent her hairs to the organization through a courier service.

The NSS volunteer said since her school life, she was planning to do something for the cancer patients, but due to some problem, she could not donate her hair earlier.
