PDG Ramesh AggarwalMember Secretary, Rotary India WinS

We are happy to note that there was an overwhelming response from districts and clubs for

Swachhta Pakhwada. A large number of Rotary clubs from across India actively participated

in this initiative launched by the Government of India and organized a series of events

to mark the Swachhta Pakhwada. District 3054 deserves a pat on its back for mobilizing

almost every club to participate in the Pakhwada. Similar spirit was visible during the Global

Handwashing Day Celebrations on 15th October. This event also witnessed participation from a large number

of clubs across India. The overwhelming participation of our clubs and Rotarians in both these events truly

indicates that there is huge enthusiasm amongst Rotarians for the WASH in Schools Target Challenge Pilot.

Participation in such campaigns sets the tone for Rotarians to achieve the desired success.

Under the guidance of RI Director Basker and TRF Trustee & RI WASH in Schools Chair Sushil Gupta, the WASH

in Schools Target Challenge is in full swing in India. For better committee governance and improved quality

assurance, the district recognition committees have been replaced with a single national level committee

comprising of 12 senior Rotarians from across India who are knowledgeable and passionate about WinS. This

new structure is designed to streamline communication and provide better support to Rotary clubs interested

in the Target Challenge. We request all Rotary clubs engaged in the program to work alongside the national

committee to enable greater success and achieve desired results from the Pilot.

In Rotary, WASH in Schools is the buzz word today. There is a huge momentum for WASH in Schools but the best

times are yet to come. Let us make this happen!

The WASH in Schools Target

Challenge is a much talked about

program in Rotary today across

India. It is a matter of great

satisfaction that many districts are

giving highest priority to this over any other program

in Rotary. But other districts need to follow suit and

adopt WinS as the focused program in their districts.

We must know that improved WASH in Schools

is precursor to conducive learning environment in

schools. It improves health, fosters learning and

enables children to participate as agents of change

for their siblings, their parents and the community

at large. As Rotarians, we all have a role in making

sure that every child receives the benefits of WASH

in Schools.

I am happy to note that Rotary clubs across India

actively participated in Swachhta Pakhwada launched

by the Government of India and Global Handwashing

Day Celebrations. Participation of Rotarians in such

initiatives trigger enthusiasm to engage in RI WASH

in Schools Target Challenge with much vigor and zeal,

and be a part of the success of the program.

Given the importance of the program, there is going

to be session on WinS during the DG Mid-Year Review

Seminar at the Kuala Lumpur Institute in December

to be moderated by PDG Ramesh Aggarwal. I look

forward to updates from the Districts on WinS during

this Rotary year.

P.T. PrabhakarVice chair, Rotary India WinS

The Rotary Foundation’s invitation

to clubs in Belize, Guatemala,

Honduras, Kenya & India, to apply

for a wash in school competitive

grant, had received overwhelming response.

It is gratifying to note, that, out of 13 applications

selected by TRF, for a community assessment grant of

US $ 10,000, 5 are from clubs in India.

These clubs have to submit their detailed proposal

to TRF for a wash in school competitive grant

of value between US$ 1,50,000 to US $ 5,00,000

before December 15, 2017. TRF will select 3 to 5 of

the best proposals and award funds for the project

implementation.

It was encouraging to note the large scale participation

of Rotary clubs from all over India, in the Swachhta

Pakwada, cleanliness fortnight, organized by the

Government of India under the inspired leadership of

our PM, Shri Narendra Modiji. Hundreds of club across

India, also celebrated the Global Handwashing Day

on October 15, 2017 by organizing demonstration of

proper hand washing techniques in schools.

By all accounts, it is a great time to be a WinS warrior!

If your club has not yet started a WinS project, the time

to start one is NOW!
