Rotasia is the rare opportunity for a Rotaractor which one cannot afford to miss on, as this is the only event that fulfils many of
our prime objectives of being in this international organization. Rotasia‟11 was the perfect chance to indulge in friendships
across boundaries of states and countries. The four-day event was highlighted by cultural and intellectual exchanges amidst the
beautiful scenery of Goa. This time around 22 rotaractors from our district were a part of the mega event.

main venue for Rotasia 2011. One of the best auditoriums in
India, located on the shores of the ‘Mandovi’ river, Goa, it is
a perfect place for such a meet.
The programme was basically categorized into 4 segments:
Ceremonies, Competitions, Fun and Learn. Under the first
category other than the inaugural and closing there were a
few felicitation and publishing ceremonies that took place.
Cultural competitions (dance and singing), and Mr. Rotaract,
Miss. Rotaract was a show case.

From The DRR’s Desk
Dear all,
January has been an eventful month for our district. I want to acknowledge all the
clubs who have been religiously participating in the Polio rallies and Polio ravivar
camps to eradicate this dreadful disease from the planet which is on the verge of
extinction. I also want to acknowledge all the clubs who are spreading awareness on
Blood donation and organizing blood donation camps regularly in past few months.
Clubs like SGGSCC , Delhi North and ASET who worked selflessly to generate
funds for the underprivileged to improve their quality of life with education and
basic needs , deserves special acknowledgement. Republic day celebration with the
underprivileged section of the society shows the love and concern of the rotaractors
for the people of India.
ROTASIA was another event where 22 rotaractors from District 3010 participated in
Goa .More than 1000 rotaractors from various districts from south asia were present.
Even though things were not ideal , positivity and courage of rotaractors made it an
extraordinary experience. Being positive and fighting against the odds is what we all
learnt and enjoyed the event. We also got to interact with rotaractors from other
district and shared our experiences and projects with them. We got to learn new
ways of working from them and would try to implement those in our district as well.
We now are looking forward to go to the next ROTAISA 2011-12 in Nepal.
Communication is the basis of growth in any organization. No communication – No
growth. We have been trying to work on communication from past few months,
however few clubs are not responding. I would like to urge to all the clubs in the
district to be in communication with the district and other fellow clubs regularly.
This will not only give access to learning but also opportunity to work together in
future.
I wish you all , All the very best and keep up this good work.
Best Regards
Rtr. Manik Gupta

decide that you are not going to stay where you are. …”
A new year brings new beginnings and new ideas.
Rotaract District 3010 has begun 2011 with zeal and
enthusiasm visible in projects executed during this month.
Right from collecting funds for the poor and downtrodden
to rocking Rotasia, the rotaractors have given their very
best.
With the completion of half of our Rotaract year it gives
me immense pride to look back at our achievements. And

Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs are either community or university based, and they’re sponsored by a local Rotary club. This makes them true "partners in service" and key members of the family of Rotary. Through the Rotaract program, young adults not only augment their knowledge and skills, but they also address the physical and social needs of their communities while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service.
Membership starts with you! Invite friends, family and co-workers to become members of Rotaract

DONATE EYES AFTER LIFE WALKATHON Run for Vision Foundation is a not for profit organization, a grass root NGO dedicated to eradicate curable blindness across the country. In the last seven
years, we have been successfully operating eight rural vision centers around Gurgaon (Tauru, Rewari, Bhiwadi, Jacobpura, Nuh, Farooqnagar,
Jhajjar and Pataudi) and have been able to benefit more than 1 Lakh people with eye care medical services. We also have an eye bank and cornea
transplant units to provide free of cost treatment under the name of ‘Y.P. Mahindru Niramaya Eye bank and Cornea Transplant Center’.In order to accomplish
this goal the foundation organizes marathons, walkathons and events to create awareness about curable blindness to establish a pan India network of eye
banks and cornea transplant units. The foundation has already helped to establish North India’s first and biggest eye bank and cornea transplant unit in
Gurgaon (Haryana) and restored eyesight to hundreds of underprivileged people. As part of our prime objective dedicated towards eradication of blindness,
we are organizing a Walk-a-thon on February 27, 2011 at Leisure Valley, Gurgaon, 7 a.m to 10 a.m. The Walk-a-thon will have over 8000 participants
including students from colleges and schools, celebrities, sports personalities, corporate houses etc. to support this endeavor.
