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

and all members of the

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

contributed to the overall

success with their active

s u p p o r t t o t h e c l u b

activities.

I c a n n o t t h a n k

enough for the guidance

and support of our Past Rotary

International President Raja and Usha

Saboo to make this Rotary truly

successful.

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

cherish the memories of the year of our

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 !

Bajaj, Vasu Anand, Piyush Mittal and Dr J

P Nawani worked as one co-opting the

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.

D I ST R I C T R E P O RT 3 0 8 0 . 2 0 1 0 - 1 1 . 1

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.

However, 9 Rotary Clubs ie: Anandpur Sahib, Dehradun Central, Jind, Jwalapur, Ladwa, Nangal Central, Radaur, Ranipur & Shyampur did not make any contribution to the Bill & Melinda Gates $ 200 million challenge grant, a failure on our part to motivate the members to contribute.

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.

The team had 18 doctors and volunteers from D3080 and 12 doctors/volunteers from D3132.

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.
