Thank you!
Dear Team 2010-11:
t has been my privilege
to work with you for a Ivery satisfying and
enjoyable year 'Building
Communit ies-Bridging
C o n t i n e n t s ' . Y o u r
leadership, hard work and
inputs have taken the
district to new heights. The
record number of projects,
supported by The Rotary Foundation ,
innovative programs and activities in all
avenues of service kept the Rotary flag
high in the communities served by our
clubs with your proactive leadership
and participation.
My special thanks to our leader RI
President Ray Klinginsmith who
endeared everyone with his informal
interaction and took time to touch
Rotarians in our District during his visit;
and RI Director K.R. Ravindran for
setting new standards of excellence
with his laudable efforts to strengthen
Rotary in South Asia.
I compliment my District Trainer,
DRFC, District Secretary, Project and
Programme Coordinators, other
members of the District Team, and of
course, all my Assistant Governors, for
their active and dedicated participation
in every event, and taking Rotary in the
District to newer heights.
Here I would also
like to place on record the
contribution of the spouses

R o t a r y f a m i l y w h o

My complements and grateful
thanks are due to my family and in
particular my better half Neeru, who
stood by me and contributed to the
success of the year.
This annual district report is
dedicated to you and hope you will

service together 'Building Communities,
Bridging Continents'.
Madhukar MalhotraDistrict Governor 2010-11
his is the first time that District
3080 has taken the initiative to
compile an annual report of TRotary’s service activities. The Report is
about the active role that the Rotarians
have played on diverse fronts, whether
it is membership growth, contributions
to The Rotary Foundation, joining hands
to f ight pol io, or address the
multifarious community needs through
humanitarian service projects.
The biggest challenge that Rotary
faces today is to help the countries
around the globe combat the challenges
of poverty, illiteracy, disease, and
disappointments stemming from
divergent socio-economic challenges.
The greatest strength that Rotary
has the power to ‘build communities’, at
a time when the community feeling is
diminishing. Strong fellowship, the
system of attendance, and diversity of
different vocations enriching the
Rotary’s efforts to do good, are the
strong drivers that bind the Rotarians
across the globe in singular mission . . . to
do good, and make a difference in the
lives of the people.
Through this Report, we have also
tried to provide an overview of some of
the landmark projects that the Rotary
Clubs have undertaken over the years,
that stand testimony to the Rotary’s
values of ‘Service Above Self’.
We hope that this District Report
would be a reference volume for the
future leadership and source of
inspiration for the clubs to replicate the
successes that the Rotarians elsewhere
have made for the benefit of their own
communities.
Foreword
Charanjit Singh District Secretary 2010-11
A Memorable Year....
he year that was –
but still is – fresh Tin my mind, a
unique and once-in-a
lifetime opportunity in
many ways.
It was a special year
where we wanted to
focus on such activities
which would set the right score for
life's sometimes off-key moments
and difficulties for the under
privileged. And why not? We went
ahead to touch the lives of people
who touch our lives everyday, every
moment, in our journey through
life.
As the year progressed, the
awareness came to me, that life is
not only about making whoopee
when the rain comes down in
torrents and we feel joyous, but has
a far deeper meaning which can be
ful f i l led through service of
humanity and Rotary give us the
vehicle for this joy ride in life. The
projects under taken by the clubs in
their communities, meeting local
needs were amazing. The love and
support of the clubs, their warmth
helped make me a richer
person in thoughts and
deed.
It was not only the
experience of 'The Joy of
Giving', but the year gave
me much more. It helped
me to look at all the
positives in my life and become a
b e t t e r p e r s o n . W e w e r e
overwhelmed at the wonderful
response, the warmth and the love
that we received from all Rotary
families – whom do I thank for all
this? Was it the people surrounding
us or was it Rotary?
I do not have enough words to thank
the Almighty for the wonderful team
10-11 of over 3000 Rotary families
and the warm memories we will
carry forever of the year that was…..
Thank You All !

Presidents , Secretaries and all Club
leadership in making the projects and
programs the targets of each and every
Rotarian of the district.
To strengthen rotary in our district, the
need to inform and educate members on
the depth and vastness of the Rotary
movement was felt. A workshop on the
'Rotary Foundation' was held before the
start of, the year and a seminar on
'Strategic Planning' was held early in the
year, both for the first time in our
district.
Further a series of member orientation
meets at the club and zonal level were
held. Three zonal intercity programs on a
'Bigger Better & Bolder' Rotary were also
conducted with a view to emphasize the
other programs of Rotary like Interact,
Rotaract, Rotary Youth Leadership
Award, Group Study Exchange, Youth
Exchange, RCC, Friendship Exchange,
Rotary Action Groups, Rotary Volunteers,
Rotary Fellowships besides Membership
Development and the Rotary Foundation.
It was felt that informed members would
become involved as Rotarians and over
3000 copies of the GML were posted to
every Rotarian in the district. We were
vindicated by improved attendance,
greater participation and a near 35%
increase in voluntary contributions to
the Rotary Foundation and increased
service activities in all communities
served by our clubs in the district.
The training programs, be it Pre Pets,
SETS, PETS with spouses, AGTS, DTTS,
District Assembly, Membership
Development Seminar, TRF Workshop
before start of the year were all an
unqualified success. The participation of
spouses led to an increased involvement
of rotary families in all activities.
Overview of 2010-11The year was dedicated to Building Communities, Bridging Continents
as per the theme given by 2010-11 RI President Ray Klinginsmith.

The “Strategic Planning” seminar was a
first for the district where the steps to
strengthen the district based on the
foundation laid in the past was discussed
and targets established for the coming
years.
Visit of the Chairman, Board of Trustees
of the Rotary Foundation, Carl_ Wilhelm
Stenhamar to Chandigarh in August as
Chief Guest at 'The Rotary Foundation
Seminar', helped increase the tally of
major donors from 14 to 25 in a year.
This also led to a steady and consistent
voluntary contribution inflow to the TRF,
with an upward trend throughout the
year.
The District Conference – DISCON 2010
was held in mid December 2010 with a
view to avoid the intense winter chill, a
clash with the busy marriage season and
children's exams. This was appreciated
by the members, leading tp the highest
per capita contribution to the foundation
on Zone 4 & 6A and a new district record.
Another first was the 'District Leadership
Seminar' ably handled by ARC PDG Shaju
Peter on the day preceding start of
DISCON-2010. The pre-conference
dinner was an unqualified success with a
live performance by the melodious Dolly
Guleria and her troupe.
RI President's Representative PRIP Glen
Kinross who flew in all the way from
Sydney, Australia and the Chief Guest
Honourable Sh. Kapil Sibal, Union
Cabinet Minister for Human Resources
and Telecom, Government of India were
outstanding in their presentations. We
had Mr. Raj Chengappa, Editor-in Chief,
The Tribune group of newspapers and
Mr. Milkha Singh as other featured
speakers. The innovative programming
kept the delegates glued to their seats
and the hall was overflowing at all times.
The evening entertainment was another
first, play – 'Ghalib in New Delhi' –
hilarious from begging to the end, kept
the audience rollicking in their seats.
The next morning due to inclement
weather the Shreyas Awardees Dr.
Naresh Trehan, the renowned heart
surgeon Mr. Ramesh Agarwal CMD of the
Dainik Bhaskar group of newspapers and
Member of Parliament and TV
personality Mr. Navjot Sidhu could not
make it but His Excellency Sh. Jagannath
Pahadia, Governor of Haryana kept the
audience spell bound with his address.
The team led by PDG Mary Martin from
D7770, USA and her team made an
impressive presentation.
The business session also found an
attentive audience and amendments to
the district bylaws were considered and
approved.
Overall the programming, speakers,
ambience, entertainment, food and
hospitality were all appreciated and
some said, new benchmarks have been
set for the future.

RYLA organised over the Christmas break
left a lasting impressions on the 106
young participants from all areas of the
district. Who were enthused and went
back raising to take the lead in their
schools.
We were honoured with the visit of the
RI President Ray Klinginsmith and RI
Director K.R. Ravindran to Chandigarh in
March 2011. A special intercity of
welcome was organized at the
'Chandigarh Judicial Academy' where the
RI leadership also interacted with the
D3080 college of Governor. The Intercity
gave an opportunity to the grassroots
Rotarians to interact with President Ray
and be recognized for his participation in
the Medicare Mission and contributions
to the Rotary Foundation.
State wise Polio Orientation Meets were
held this year, another first, which
highlighted Rotary's role and helped
spread the message of Polio Eradication
in the community and to the government
functionaries resulting in better co-
operative. Separate meets were held for
Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal
Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana and U.T. In
Saharanpur we reached out to the
minorities thru the Hakim’s, Baids and
RMP’s who hold sway over the
population, a successful effort to break
the resistance of families to administer
polio drops.
Another initiative was to involve the
community thru a 'children for children'
program conducted involving school
children to bring out greater awareness
on 'Polio Eradication' and also raise
funds for the 'Bill and Melinda Gates
Polio Challenge Grant'. This was a
learning experience for many of the
Rotarians who had joined Rotary in the
recent past and were unaware that the
'End Polio Now' campaign was initiated
as a program of Rotary International and
later joined by WHO/UNICEF and
governments of the world. We are 'THIS
CLOSE' and need to double our efforts to
keep our promise to the future
generations for a 'Polio Free World'.
The 'Intercity of Friendship' at Kankhal
was all fun and games and a real
opportunity for the 'Family of Rotary' to
get together. It was also an occasion to
facilitate DGN 2013-14 Rakesh Aggarwal.
The official visits to the clubs were used
to guide the incoming leadership on their
roles and responsibility and the need to
start preparations for the same.
Emphasis on continuity in Rotary and its
importance was highlighted,. Stress was
laid on following rotary norms and
values.
We received two Polio NID teams, led by
DG Cynde Covington of D6990, Florida
USA with 44 members and a team from
Rtn. Mike Yates of UK to Karnal.
Two Medicare Camps were held in the
tribal areas of Chindwara, MP and
D I ST R I C T R E P O RT 3 0 8 0 . 2 0 1 0 - 1 1 . 3
Behrampur, Orrisa. The overseas mission
this year was taken to Zambia & Malawi.
A Rotary Friendship Team led by PP Rtn
Jon Deisher from RC Anchorage, Alaska,
USA paid us a visit in February and the
return visit led by PP Harish Sethi is
planned in August. Another Friendship
Exchange is finalized with SouthAfrica.
The Rotary Youth Exchange program
gathered pace and we had 20 youth
inbound and outbound. Now that our
district is certified by RI this program has
a potential to grow exponentially.
The Rotaract & Interact clubs gained
strength with revival of many clubs and
eleven new clubs chartered. This is an
area that needs greater attention by
rotary and RI.
The flash floods in Leh saw the clubs rise
as one and over Rs.50 lakhs was raised
for relief activities. Besides immediate
relief 12 prefab structures were also
presented. The IW D308 thru the Chair
Ms Neelam Vij have contributed Rs.1.25
lakhs and promise to pay the balance
cost for one structure on installation.
Throughout the year the Assistant
Governors played a pivotal and crucial
role actively, as a link between the club
leadership and the district, helping clubs
grow and strengthen, resolving issues,
emphasing support to the Rotary
Foundation.
On 26th June the 'District Awards and
Recognition' Function was an occasion to
say a big 'Thank You' to all the members
for their contributions to make the year
an outstanding success – in itself unique
in that the hall was overflowing, every
one came on time and surprise – kept
sitting till the last, except for a
spontaneous standing ovation,
something unexpected and
overwhelming.
A record number of 52 clubs received the
RI Presidents Citation and the district
was also recognized for membership
growth. Presidents, Secretaries, other
club leaders, Committee Chairman and
Clubs were recognized for their
outstanding work. Special recognition
was given to those who promoted the
TRF and helped in raising funds for the
TRF .
Matching Grants supported
by The Rotary Foundation
2010-11
This year sixteen matching grant projects
and ten DSG grants were initiated with a
layout of US$579,466, over 60 clubs
participated in these projects covering a
wide range of activities.
Our district signature project is the
overseas Medicare Project, this year
which led us to Malawi & Zambia, under
the ‘Reach out to Africa' initiative with a
team of 18 doctors & volunteers from
D3080. This was the 12th in a series of
project undertaken by our district every
D I ST R I C T R E P O RT 3 0 8 0 . 2 0 1 0 - 1 1 . 4
year since 1998. Within India Medicare
Projects were undertaken in the tribal
areas of Behrampur in Orissa &
Chindwara in Madhya Pradesh. We did
not ignore our own district and over
fifteen multispeciality medical camps
including cancer detection and
awareness were held, spread over all
areas of the district with thousands of
patients screened and follow up
treatment organized.
Our second district signature project is
the 'Heartline' project where children
with congenital heart disease are treated
free of cost. Earlier this project initiated
by RC Chandigarh was restricted to Fortis
Hospital, Mohali and PGI, Chandigarh. It
has now been extended to all clubs of
D3080 and an assurance to the
community that No Child dies for lack of
funds for treatment of congenital heart
disease. We are committed to treat 20
children from Malawi and 5 children
from Pakistan under this program.
This year the project was also extended
to the 'Himalayan Institute Hospital' at
Jolly Grant, Dehradun.
Four projects were conceptualized and
initiated as district projects to cover a
large number of clubs in the district
serving the community where they are
located:
+ Eye IOL Operations (2000)
+ Water Filters 277 (online)
+ 1360 (storage)
+ School Benches (985).
Other matching grant projects taken up by
clubs include Rain Water Harvesting, Water
and Sanitation, School Educational Aids,
Provision of Hospital Equipment. Benches
for School, Libraries for primary schools
etc.
In true rotary tradition of continuity the
activities and implementation of most of
the projects will continue in the coming
year.
It is truly remarkable that a large number
of clubs, over 60, could participate and
benefit from their contributions to the
Rotary Foundation in earlier years,
making them open to contribute liberally
to the TRF of their own accord.
These are besides the DSG projects of 15
clubs covering Pulmonary Rehabilitation,
Toilets in a slum area, Rain Water
Harvesting, provision of water coolers,
substitution of polythene bags, T-Shirts
for End Polio Rally by school children,
Pathological Lab, Vocational Training aids
for handicapped children, provision of
mats/durries for students in rural schools
and school libraries for children in
primary schools were also initiated.

In the scenario of achievements, inspite of our best efforts and persuation there were some failures also, four clubs out of 75 had nil contribution to TRF. As a matter of policy no individual was approached to contribute, it was marketing of TRF and follow up by AG's with the club leadership that gave results.

Leh ReliefC O M M U N I T Y S E R V I C E S
he beautiful valley of Leh-Ladakh in J&K faced one of the worst Tcatastrophe in its history on the
intervening night of August 5-6, 2010, when flash floods led to massive mud slides across the area and devastated the lives of the people. Over 10,000 people were directly affected and more than 300 people lost their lives.
Following the reports, Past Rotary International President Rajendra K. Saboo, got in touch with the Governor of J&K, and local administration, while District Governor Madhukar Malhotra, immediately went into
crisis management mode and called every Rotarian in the District to support the relief work.
Immediate action and response was the need of the hour, and within a week the District 3080 was able to collect heavy woollen garments, quilts, shoes etc. which were sorted, labeled and packed by a team of Rotarians in Chandigarh.
The Rotarians of Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula also contributed financially to purchase 1000 poly-fill quilts and 100 UN-approved tents. The Rotarians of Karnal and Panipat contributed 300 pressure cookers.

The major logistic issue was transporting this relief material to Leh. Thanks to the efforts of RI Director Elect Yash Pal Das, the Indian Air Force authorities in Chandigarh agreed to transport the material.
In order to ensure that the material reaches the affected people, a team of three Rotarians from District 3080, comprising District Secretary Charanjit Singh, Past President Arvind Mehan, and Rtn. Hassan Singh Mejie, volunteered to supervise the project in Leh.
Thanks to the efforts of PDG Kawal Bedi, whose nephew Col. Tikka Yuvraj Singh Bedi was posted at Leh as commanding officer of 1-Vikas Coy, the boarding and lodging of the District team was taken care of. Col Bedi also arranged for convoys and army jawans to unload the material from aircraft and take it to various remote villages.
With the help of local administration the District team went from village to village, as far as the Batalic (near Kargil) border, and handed over relief material.
While in Leh, the District team found the need for pre-fabricated shelters. The District authorities had identified two villages where 11 pre-fab houses were required and the 1-Vikas Coy’s CO requested one such house for an army jawan’s family in Leh.
The District 3080 again went on a massive fund raising drive and raised over Rs.30 lakh and also identified the manufacturer for pre-fabricated houses, who agreed to provide the same at cost-to-cost basis.
Congratulations to all Rotarians and clubs of District 3080 who rose to the occasion and contributed over Rs.50 lakhs in cash and kind for Leh Relief operation.
The District Administration had been very helpful, especially the local Member of Parliament Mr. Hassan Khan, Deputy Commissioner Mr T. Angchuk, SDM Mr T.Nurboo of Khalsi block, the President of Rotary Club Leh, Mr. Jolden Tadbar, who is also the Assistant Labour Commissioner of Leh.

Highlights of the Project :
Under the ‘Reach Out to Africa’ initiative this year the medicare team visited chose Malawi & Zambia for the camps.
Malawi: Kamazu General Hospital is quite busy but during the five days, the patient load increased several folds. A patient was

beaten by a dog. His face was completely defaced; he led an undignified and difficult life. Govt. of Malawi sent the patient to South Africa for treatment but there was not much improvement. Our plastic surgeons operated on this patient and his face was restored once again. The press and TV gave wide publicity to the success of this operation. There were plenty of cases of mal united fractures, large tumors, ruptured uterus, which were treated by our doctors. The fame of eye surgeons reached Hon. Health Minister of Malawi. He visited the project, praised the work of the plastic surgeons and other surgeons but also consulted our eye surgeon for his long standing eye problem. The hospital has no pathologist hence surgical pathology (Histopathology) slides are sent the Europe for diagnosis. The reports are received after one – two months but by then many cases of cancer become inoperable. Our pathologist – saw all the slides and completed the entire workload, thus giving benefit of early diagnosis to many patients. Our dental surgeons were busy and performed specialized work along with routine work.
D3080 has offered to treat 20 children from Malawi for congenital heart disease free of cost at Chandigarh.
Zambia: UTH is a large hospital. Our surgeons performed several surgeries but due to administrative issues like renovation of theatres, we could not function as planned earlier (the theatres were to be ready two weeks earlier but the work got delayed). Hence the number of operations were far less than our potential. The dentists were working in a dental college. They had to cope up with a flood of patients. They worked from early morning to late evening to complete the workload.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS : - The team worked in Kamazu General Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi & University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia. We worked for 5 days at each place. The following is the total number of surgeries and dental procedures performed.
Dental-916, Orthopedics-73, ENT-31, Gynecology-77, Plastic Surgery-11, Ophthalmology-173, Pathology-119, Pain Management-31, General surgery-52 (Total-1483).

They were all outstanding and took up their responsibility with enthusiasm and fervor, the results
are with you and they all deserve to be recognized for their contribution to make it outstanding
year.
Bouquets!DISCONYour Conference was extremely good...!
was very pleased to be invited to attend your district conference and for me it turned out to be another great Rotary experience. Madhu, your conference was a good one – extremely good and I am very pleased to I
report to President Ray what an excellent conference it was. You should be very happy and very proud.
These days most District Governors play a passive role in their conference but you were an exception by playing a real and articulate role in the conference. I have not seen any District Governor take such an approach to their conference in many years. You were one of the troops doing what needed to be done to make the conference a success. I was also pleased to attend the District Leadership Training Seminar held prior to the conference.
I will have the pleasure of telling him (President Ray) what a great conference it was. Conferences just don’t happen. Just think of the countless hours of planning over the preceding months by you personally, the members of the host club and so many others Rotarians and all the conference program participants. Truly remarkable.
PRIP Glen W. KinrossRotary International President’s Representative
My sincere compliments...
The conference is now behind you and you can reflect upon it with great satisfaction. Please accept my most sincere compliments and deepest appreciation. Not only the program turned out to be good there was fellowship galore and food was sumptuous. In totality the Rotarians responded well and this goes to your credit.
Dear Madhu, the most important thing that I was able to notice was the cool and composure with which you handled and conducted the conference. With impending difficulties there were occasions for one to get nervous or jittery but you did not. This was the quality of leadership that you truly demonstrated. My accolades to you for this.

Please accept our heartiest congratulations on behalf of all the members Rotary Club Roorkee Midtown for hosting one of the most successful District Conferences, we have ever had. Everything was well & meticulously planned and went off as per schedule. We all salute you for this.
The speakers were excellent. Their speeches were simply mind boggling and those of Honb'le Jagannth ji Pahadia & Honb'le Sh. Kapil Sibbal ji were very thought provoking, we have yet to come across such learned and well informed persons.
Even the play Ghalib in the evening was excellent. Thanks for your excellent hospitality. Your team deserves a special compliment for their whole hearted efforts to make the conference a grand success & of course behind all this there was a great motivating force the first lady of the district Anne Neeru ji who was a very silent worker & saw that everything was in order. Our special compliments to her.

PETSI could feel the vibrations of an outstanding training setup...
From the very first moment I could feel the vibrations of an outstanding training set up that you had planned. It was not just the training part but the total ambiance including the fellowship that got generated as part of the exercise. You had planned the program meticulously and followed up with every club president for maximum participation. The attendance of the spouses added grace and charm to the occasion but more than that it brought the desired effect and awareness as to what the spouses could do for the coming year. I am sure that the ultimate result of such participation is going to be excellent.
Very methodically planned and executed, the total program ran like clock work and I am sure that all the club presidents got the right message how the year would be. Dear Madhu, you have made an excellent start and I compliment wholeheartedly.
To Neeru, I want to say how happy I was to see her involvement. She was deep into the functioning of the PETS as a whole and for spouses in particular. Her personal interest and direct "hands-on" initiative not only set an example for other spouses but lent tremendous support to you and indeed to Rotary.
Rajendra K. SabooRotary International President 1991-92
Meenu and I extend my heartiest congratulations on the excellent arrangements at PETS. We are very much enthused and thank you for all your and Neeru ji efforts for the wonderful training session. Now it’s us to prove it.

I was very happy to be with you at the Membership Seminar at Barog last Sunday. I am particularly glad that you insisted upon my coming and in doing so you benefited me by not only the fellowship but also sharing my thoughts with the members and clubs present.
Some people asked me why are we having these district events for the coming year as well as this year all coming close together within these two months. My reply was that the meetings like District Assembly or Membership Seminar are all preparatory events for the coming year. Preparation you make today will ultimately determine what your tomorrow will be.
PRIP Raja Saboo
With great interest and appreciation I have gone through your August GML.
Of particular interest is Neeru's remarks about "First Lady".
Indirectly, she has indicated that First Lady does not mean a sign of honor and the status symbol; it is a position of responsibility. I like that. Usha herself was not very fond of the terminology of "First Lady" during our year as R.I. President. Once again my compliments to you both.
PRIP Raja Saboo
Membership SeminarYou benefitted me...
GML
At the award presentation or the Recognitions Day, I spoke about you and Neeru but I also knew that no words would be adequate to express the feeling of personal fulfillment and satisfaction that I was holding in my own heart. Thus, when the people rose spontaneously to acclaim you and recognize your contribution my heart broadened in multiple size. Usha in her own quiet way felt elated to see how you continue to earn the respect of the elders and following of the juniors.
The award presentation ceremony was yet another example of perfection, recognizing the year that was. With self-confidence at your heart, strongly supported by Neeru, dedicatedly assisted by Vijay and the whole team, you brought a new standard to such an event keeping the enthusiasm at the same high level at the end as it was in the beginning. I saw you with a sense of pride functioning so brilliantly and ending your year with utmost dignity and credibility.
Usha and I can continue to thank you again and again for the consideration, love and affection you both have bestowed upon us.
