FROM OUR PRESIDENT'S DESK

Divaker Reddy

Wishing all members of the RCSW family a very Happy, Healthy
and Prosperous 2021.

I take this opportunity to congratulate everyone for making District
Governor's official visit to our Club a grand success.

Our District Governor was extremely impressed and very happy
with our projects, reportage and processes followed by our Club.

The inauguration of Rotary Agri processing unit, recognition of
Farmers by presenting Awards and the establishment of an RCC
(Rotary Community Corp) in Vikarabad District were all hailed.

Six months of the Rotary year are over. We have six months more
to complete the tasks we set for ourselves at the beginning of the
year.
The two Global Grants projects need our full attention since the
important task of mobilising funds is to be done.

We have to gird our loins and get down to the task to achieve our
goals. I am sure, as in the past, our members will rise as one and see
that no stone remains unturned to achieve our goals.

Once more I wish everyone a very happy and fruitful 2021.

EMERGEX V6.0 ON 12 DEC & V7.0 ON 30 DEC 2020

298 Participants

There was a double damaka for EmergeX Career Seminar in Dec 2020. Two events
were conducted during the month - 12th Dec (Version 6) & 30th Dec (Verion 7).

Dr.Sushi Madhira a Career counselling expert spoke on "New Age Careers and
skills required to achieve them" and the participants were students from various
schools (X, XI, XII Std) and college. This event was very well conducted by the
students team from Interact Club of Sister Nivedita School (sponsored by RC
Hyderabad North) and the event was supported by RC Bhuvanagiri (Students from
Jagruti Degree College, Bhuvanagiri joined the Seminar). There were more than
300 participants in the Seminar and it was a talk of the town as students liked the
presentation and the inputs provided. We had to forcibly close the session as
students were so enthusiastic in interacting with the Speaker.

Impressed with the speaker and the content, Sister Nivediata School Management
requested for a repeat session on 30th Dec to cover the 8th and 9th class students
along with their parents. This session was held on 30th Dec and saw nearly 200
participants actively participating with session running more than 30 minutes
over the scheduled time. This time again, the event was end to end presented by
the Students in a very professional manner.

EmergeX is a not just a platform for career guidance and discussing future
technologies but also a provides an opportunity for youngsters to exhibit their
talents/skills. All the participants where overwhelmed with the Seminar and
extremely thankful for conducting this program.

DISTRICT GOVERNOR OFFICIAL VISIT - 19 DEC

The District Governor's official visit to Rotary Club of Secunderabad West on 19
Dec 20 was a Mega event this year with the full day visit split into two parts, the
morning session being the Dal Mill Inauguration programme at Zaidupally. AG.
Rtn. Kamal Jain accompanied District Governor Rtn. Hanmanth Reddy. Senior
Rotarians - Rtn. Anil Kumar, Rtn. Sitaram, Rtn. Chaitanya and Secretary Rtn.
Vardhaman Jain also were present.

The Agri Processing Unit which can process 5 types of Dal was inaugurated by DG.
This will go a long way in empowering the farmers and especially the Women
farmers to produce/Process and sell their chemical free produce at a higher price
in addition to generating employment and revenue at the village. During the event,
Climate Smart Farmer Awards were presented to farmers to encourage them to
motivate and encourage them to follow the Eco-Friendly cropping praticies.

DG also presented the charter to an RCC Badi Batalu which has been formed in the
Vikarabad District. The main aim of this RCC is to support us in our Happy school
projects in this District.

In the evening after the club assembly and Board meeting, a Public Meeting was
organised. DG reviewed the work done in the first half of the Rotary year and
provided directions on how to go about in the second half of the year to achieve
the targets we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year. DG was very satisfied
with the progress made by our Club. He is very pleased that we have taken up two
Global Grants projects - Mobile cancer unit and Happy Schools.

On the whole it was a very successful DG visit.
