age for various types of disabilities mainly related to slow mental growth of an

individual.

Goel, the club organized a tree plantation drive and two blood donation camps,

along with collection of clothes for the under-privileged people. The club also

assisted Samvedna Institute in setting up stalls at various venues. At these stalls

members of the club volunteered for selling the goods made by students of

Samvedna. The funds raised through these stalls were utilized for betterment of

the institute and its students.

slips for the Samvedna Institute. Club members worked hard to gather a sum of

Rs. 33000/- which was used to install an air conditioner in the institute's

premises.

were also fitted with aluminum doors. Renovations took place under the

supervision of Rotaractors. Duties were assigned to each one of them to visit the

institute in pairs from time to time and see the progress. The whole work took

13 days to complete i.e. it ended on 10th Jan 2013. Project samvedna was a

huge success and the club even followed up with it by paying regular visits to

the school and spending some quality time with the students there.

Apart from the renovations and visits the club also undertook to volunteer at

stalls of handmade innovative items put up by Samvedna Institute at various

locations across the city. These stalls were a regular occasion for the Institute,

exhibiting useful, attractive and innovative items, made by the samvedna

students, like folders, lunch bags, hand bags, mobile covers, bottle covers,wallets etc, the team managed to collect a lump sum amount which contributed

towards the growth and development of the institute. It helped the students to
