Thank you!
Dear Team 2010-11: t has been my privilege to work with you for a very satisfying and enjoyable year 'Building Communities-Bridging C o n t i n e n t s ' . Yo 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 Rotary family who contributed to the overall success with their active support to the club activities. I cannot thank 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'.

District Governor 2010-11

Foreword
his is the first time that District 3080 has taken the initiative to compile an annual report of Rotarys 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 fight polio, 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 Rotarys 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 Rotarys 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.

Charanjit Singh
District Secretary 2010-11

A Memorable Year....
he year that was but still is fresh in 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 fulfilled through ser vice 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 better person. We were 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 !

Overview of 2010-11
The year was dedicated to Building Communities, Bridging Continents as per the theme given by 2010-11 RI President Ray Klinginsmith.

eam 1011 comprising of the the District Trainer PDG Kawal Bedi, DRFC PDG Dhian Chand, 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.

Secretary Charanjit Singh, District Treasurer Anil Chadda, Chief Coordinator Projects and Programs N S Aulakh, Coordinator Programs Vijay Wadhawan ,Coordinator Projects APS Dhiman and the backbone of the district office, District Correspondent and Editor M P Gupta along with the Assistant Governors Rajeev Sood, Pradeep Aggarwal, Praveen Kumar Goel, Dr S K Sharma, Trilok Anand, Anand Khurania, Vinod Khandelwal, Naveen Gulati, Naresh Aggarwal, Sushil Gupta, Vinod 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.

DISTRICT REPORT 3080 . 2010-11 . 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 cooperative. 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 Hakims, Baids and RMPs 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

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

DISTRICT REPORT 3080 . 2010-11 . 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.

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 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.

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 1Vikas Coys CO requested one such house for an army jawans 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.

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).

Your 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 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 dont 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. Kinross Rotary International Presidents 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.

PETS
I 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. Saboo Rotary 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 its us to prove it.

Membership Seminar
You benefitted me...
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

GML
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

Awards
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.
