In 1985, along with friends in Rotary Calcutta, we were visiting the Sundarbans, the small islands of salt-tolerant mangrove forests WB. Our focus then, as tourists, was on spotting species of birds, spotted deers and the eponymous Royal Bengal tiger. Yet we did not fail to spot the suffering of the native dwellers who had to traverse in boats long distances, to fetch potable water every day. On our return, the idea of sinking several deep tube wells took shape. It got implemented swiftly. Whilst the beneficiaries were deeply grateful, we felt fulfilled and blessed.
On a global level, the same year, the Polio- plus initiative to tackle polio eradication was launched. Rotary has already contributed a few billion dollars and countless volunteer hours to immunize over 2.5 billion children across the globe.The Institution is 111 years old, nurtured on dharmic principles especially their 4 -Way Test.
Was invited to deliver a special address to an august assembly in the presence of the genial RI President from Evanston,IL. and RI Director.
May their tribe increase.
