ROTARY INTERNATIONAL Rotary International is a service organisation with over 34,301 clubs, in more than 209 countries, approximately 12,23,413 members and in India 3,141 Rotary clubs, with more than 1,18,895 members undertake humanitarian programs that address today’s challenging issues CORE ESSENCE A worldwide network of inspired individuals who translate their passions into relevant social causes to change lives in communities. MISSION We provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders. Rotary International District 3150 encompasses 2 Revenue Districts Guntur and Prakasam in the State of Andhra Pradesh and 10 Revenue Districts in the State of Telangana including Twin Cities. The Clubs in 3150 are involved in providing safe drinking water in villages and schools conducting health camps and eye camps providing sewing machines and buffallows to the under privelaged women. The clubs are also actively involved in providing reverse osmosis plants in schools and school desks. Over the last Five Years we have provided more than 75,000 school desks with the support of our International Partners. Rotarians Pledge to Eradicate Illiteracy from India Rotary International’s successful “End Polio” Program that resulted in eradication of Polio, totally from India and from nearly 99% of the world, has motivated the Rotarians in South Asia to adopt “Rotary’s Total Literacy Mission” in India, the Rotary India Literacy Mission wishes to achieve the Literacy goals through its T-E-A-C-H Program: T - Teacher Support E - E-Learning A - Adult Literacy C - Child Development H - Happy Schools Thus, the “T-E-A-C-H Program” includes FIVE “Projects”, each with specific focus but inter-linked with the others in objective and content so as to contribute to the program goal of Total Literacy accompanied with improvement in learning outcome of primary / elementary education and spread of adult literacy in various parts of the country. 2 The famous American author Robert Fulghum said, “It will be a great day when our schools have all the money they need, and our air force has to have a bake-sale to buy a bomber.” Unfortunately, that day has still not come in India and schools run by the government are languishing for want of basic facilities. This is true for many privately run schools in semi- urban and rural areas. India’s defence budget during 2012–2013 is Rs.1,93,407 crores (US $40.44 billion), an increase of over 17 percent over the previous year. India maintains the eighth largest defence budget in the world. The education budget during the same period was increased by 18 percent and yet it is only Rs.61,427 crores. By implementing the Right to Education Act from this year, the government is promising compulsory education to children between the ages 6 to 14 years. A sizeable chunk of the money is supposed to be spent on school education. The rapid increase in population in India combined with the lack of will by the government to increase the infrastructure in schools, has resulted in children being made to go to schools which are just an apology for a shelter. Squatting on uneven floors without proper ventilation and toilets, school children are put through a severe strain in government schools which are functioning in many cities and villages. In some towns the classes are conducted under the trees. Imagine how the stones and the hard surfaces can injure the little ones who are made to sit on the ground. No wonder many children drop out of schools, especially girls. 3 The dropout rate in schools is as high as six percent in India in some states. The way to stem this trend is to set up basic facilities in schools and this is what Rotary is aiming to do under the programme of Save Our schools. Building toilets, providing clean drinking water, giving furniture such as dual desks and chairs and books form a part of this exercise. Supporting public schools is our responsibility. As the former US Vice President Dick Cheney said, “From kindergarten to graduation, I went to public schools, and I know that they are a key to being sure that every child has a chance to succeed and to rise in the world.” Providing educational facilities for the underprivileged is the aim of the Rotary International. 4 WE HAVE PROVIDED MORE THAN 75,000 HIGH SCHOOL DUAL DESKS CHANGING MILLIONS OF LIVES AND PROVIDING SUCCOUR TO THE DEPRIVED CHILDREN 5 High School Dual Desks 6 ready for distribution 7 Participating Clubs President - K.Ganga Mohan President - B.Nagabhushanam President - M.Ramakrishna Rao Secretary - M.Mohan Das Secretary - P.Viswanatham Secretary - M.Srinivasu RC Armoor RC Kamareddy RC Miryalaguda President - J.Anand Babu President - Ramananda Rao Mahesh President - Srinivas Raju Secretary - G.Srinivas Secretary - Syed Shabbir Ali Secretary - Marianna RC Armoor Aadarsh RC Karimnagar RC Mothukur President - M.Sudhakar Reddy President - K.Sivarama Krshna Prasad President - N.Krishna Reddy Secretary - P.Mohan Reddy Secretary - P.Nageswar Rao Secretary - E.Koteswar Rao RC Bhadrachalam RC Khammam RC Narsampet President - J.Kondal Reddy President - K.Laxminarayana President - Ch.
